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

What are the three rules for writing the electron configuration of elements
astraxan [27]

<em></em>

Answer:

<u><em>The aufbau principle</em></u>

<u />

<u><em>The Pauli exclusion principle</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity</em></u>

Explanation:

<u><em>The aufbau principle:</em></u>

<em></em>

The fundamental electronic configuration is achieved by placing the electrons one by one in the different orbitals available for the atom, which are arranged in increasing order of energy.

<u><em>The Pauli exclusion principle:</em></u>

<em></em>

Two electrons of the same atom cannot have their four equal quantum numbers.  Because each orbital is defined by the quantum numbers n, l, and m, there are only two possibilities ms = -1/2 and ms = +1/2, which physically reflects that each orbital can contain a maximum of two electrons, having opposite spins

<u><em>Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity:</em></u>

This rule says that when there are several electrons occupying degenerate orbitals, of equal energy, they will do so in different orbitals and with parallel spins, whenever this is possible.  Because electrons repel each other, the minimum energy configuration is one that has electrons as far away as possible from each other, and that is why they are distributed separately before two electrons occupy  the same orbital.

Two canoeists in identical canoes exert the same effort paddling and hence maintain the same speed relative to the water. One pa
Serga [27]

Answer:

Speed of river is 0.45 m/s

Speed of boat is 2.65 m/s

Explanation:

v_r = Speed of river

v_c = Speed of canoe

v_r+v_c=2.8\ m/s

v_r-v_c=-1.9\ m/s

Adding the equations we get

2v_r=0.9\\\Rightarrow v_r=\frac{0.9}{2}\\\Rightarrow v_r=0.45\ m/s

0.42+v_c=2.8\ m/s\\\Rightarrow v_c=2.8-0.45\\\Rightarrow v_c=2.65\ m/s

Speed of river is 0.45 m/s

Speed of boat is 2.65 m/s

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Spring constant, k = 0.3 N/m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting on DNA molecule, F=1.5\ nN=1.5\times 10^{-9}\ N

The molecule got stretched by 5 nm, x=5\times 10^{-9}\ m

Let k is the spring constant of that DNA molecule. It can be calculated using the Hooke's law. It says that the force acting on the spring is directly proportional to the distance as :

F=-kx

k=\dfrac{F}{x}

k=\dfrac{1.5\times 10^{-9}\ N}{5\times 10^{-9}\ m}

k = 0.3 N/m

So, the spring constant of the DNA molecule is 0.3 N/m. Hence, this is the required solution.

Choose the sources of gamma rays. Check all that apply.
harina [27]

Answer:

a. Stars all warm objects

c. Some unstable atomic nuclei

Explanation:

Gamma rays are photons of very high energy (beyond 100keV) enough to remove an electron from its orbit.

They have a very short wavelength, less than 5 meters from the peak, and can be produced by nuclear decay, especially in the breasts of massive stars at the end of life.

They were discovered by the French chemist Paul Villard (1860 to 1934).

While X-rays are produced by electronic transitions in general caused by the collision of an electron with an atom at high speed, gamma rays are produced by nuclear transitions.

 Gamma rays produce damage similar to those caused by X-rays or ultraviolet rays (burns, cancer and genetic mutations).

The sources of gamma rays that we observe in the universe come from <u>massive stars (hypernovas) or some warm objects on the space</u> that end their lives by a gravitational collapse that leads to the formation of a neutron star or a black hole, as well as <u>unstable radioactive nuclei </u>that emit radiation gamma to reach its steady state.
