A 3.0-cm-diameter tube is held upright and filled to the top with mercury. The mercury pressure at the bottom of the tube − the

pressure in excess of atmospheric pressure-is 48 kPa. How tall is the tube?
Physics
1 answer:
Lesechka [4]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Given a tube of diameter d, = 3cm = 0.03m

Pressure Balance

Mercury pressure at the tube bottom Pₓ = Pa + ρgh

where

Pa = Atmospheric pressure = 101kpa

ρ = Density of mercury = 13,546kg/m3

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of the tube?

Given

Bottom pressure in excess of the atmospheric pressure = 48kPa = Pₓ - Pa

Therefore, 48kPa = ρgh

h = 48(kN/m2)/ρg

h = 48,000kgms⁻²m⁻²/(13546kgm⁻³ x 9.81ms⁻²)

h = 0.36m

the tube is 36cm tall

Gold, which has a density of 19.32 g/cm3, is the most ductile metal and can be pressed into a thin leaf or drawn out into a long
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

a) 578.0 cm²

b) 25.18 km

Explanation:

We're given the density and mass, so first calculate the volume.

D = M / V

V = M / D

V = (6.740 g) / (19.32 g/cm³)

V = 0.3489 cm³

a) The volume of any uniform flat shape (prism) is the area of the base times the thickness.

V = Ah

A = V / h

A = (0.3489 cm³) / (6.036×10⁻⁴ cm)

A = 578.0 cm²

b) The volume of a cylinder is pi times the square of the radius times the length.

V = πr²h

h = V / (πr²)

h = (0.3489 cm³) / (π (2.100×10⁻⁴ cm)²)

h = 2.518×10⁶ cm

h = 25.18 km

The current theory of the structure of the Earth, called plate tectonics, tells us that the continents are in constant motion.
lesya [120]

Answer:

(a) m = 1.6 x 10²¹ kg

(b) K.E = 2.536 x 10¹¹ J

(c) v = 7.12 x 10⁵ m/s

Explanation:

(a)

First we find the volume of the continent:

V = L*W*H

where,

V = Volume  of Slab = ?

L = Length of Slab = 4450 km = 4.45 x 10⁶ m

W = Width of Slab = 4450 km = 4.45 x 10⁶ m

H = Height of Slab = 31 km = 3.1 x 10⁴ m

Therefore,

V = (4.45 x 10⁶ m)(4.45 x 10⁶ m)(3.1 x 10⁴ m)

V = 6.138 x 10¹⁷ m³

Now, we find the mass:

m = density*V

m = (2620 kg/m³)(6.138 x 10¹⁷ m³)

<u>m = 1.6 x 10²¹ kg</u>

<u></u>

(b)

The kinetic energy will be:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

where,

v = speed = (1 cm/year)(0.01 m/1 cm)(1 year/365 days)(1 day/24 h)(1 h/3600 s)

v = 3.17 x 10⁻¹⁰ m/s

Therefore,

K.E = (1/2)(1.6 x 10²¹ kg)(3.17 x 10⁻¹⁰ m/s)²

<u>K.E = 2.536 x 10¹¹ J</u>

<u></u>

(c)

For the same kinetic energy but mass = 77 kg:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

2.536 x 10¹¹ J = (1/2)(77 kg)v²

v = √(2)(2.536 x 10¹¹ J)

<u>v = 7.12 x 10⁵ m/s</u>

A 3500 N is force is applied to a spring that has a spring of constant of k= 14000 N/m. How far from equilibrium will the spring
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

the spring be displaced by 25.0 cm

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

F= -K × x

So,

x = \frac{-F}{K}

Now  

x = \frac{-3500}{14000} \\\\

= -0.250m

= 25.0 cm

Hence, the spring be displaced by 25.0 cm

Rock X is released from rest at the top of a cliff that is on Earth. A short time later, Rock Y is released from rest from the s
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

C) True. S increases with time, v₁ = gt and v₂ = g (t-t₀)  we see that for the same t v₁> v₂

Explanation:

You have several statements and we must select which ones are correct. The best way to do this is to raise the problem.

Let's use the vertical launch equation. The positive sign because they indicate that the felt downward is taken as an opponent.

Stone 1

    y₁ = v₀₁ t + ½ g t²

    y₁ = 0 + ½ g t²

Rock2

It comes out a little later, let's say a second later, we can use the same stopwatch

     t ’= (t-t₀)

    y₂ = v₀₂ t ’+ ½ g t’²

    y₂ = 0 + ½ g (t-t₀)²

    y₂ = + ½ g (t-t₀)²

Let's calculate the distance between the two rocks, it should be clear that this equation is valid only for t> = to

    S = y₁ -y₂

    S = ½ g t²– ½ g (t-t₀)²

    S = ½ g [t² - (t²- 2 t to + to²)]  

    S = ½ g (2 t t₀ - t₀²)

    S = ½ g t₀ (2 t -t₀)

This is the separation of the two bodies as time passes, the amount outside the Parentheses is constant.

For t <to.  The rock y has not left and the distance increases

For t> = to.  the ratio (2t/to-1)> 1 therefore the distance increases as time

passes

Now we can analyze the different statements

A) false. The difference in height increases over time

B) False S increases

C) Certain s increases with time, v₁ = gt and V₂ = g (t-t₀) we see that for the same t   v₁> v₂
