Glycerin is poured into an open U-shaped tube until the height in both sides is 20cm. Ethyl alcohol is then poured into one arm

until the height of the alcohol column is 20cm. The two liquids do not mix. What is the difference in height between the top surface of the glycerin and the top surface of the alcohol?

Answer:

7.5 cm

Explanation:

In the figure we can see a sketch of the problem. We know that at the bottom of the U-shaped tube the pressure is equal in both branches. Defining \rho_A: Ethyl alcohol density and \rho_G: Glycerin density , we can write:

\rho_A\times g \times h_1 + \rho_G \times g \times h_2 = \rho_G \times g \times h_3

Simplifying:

\rho_A\times h_1 = \rho_G \times (h_3 - h_2) (1)

On the other hand:

h_1 + h_2 = \Delta h + h_3

Rearranging:

h_1 - \Delta h = h_3 - h_2 (2)

Replacing  (2) in (1):

\rho_A\times h_1 = \rho_G \times (h_1 - \Delta h)

Rearranging:

\frac{h_1 \times (\rho_A - \rho_G)}{- \rho_G} = \Delta h

Data:

h_1 = 20 cm; \rho_A = 0.789 \frac{g}{cm^3}; \rho_G = 1.26 \frac{g}{cm^3}

\frac{20 cm \times (0.789 - 1.26) \frac{g}{cm^3}}{- 1.26\frac{g}{cm^3}}  = \Delta h

7.5 cm =  \Delta h

Answer:

209 m

Explanation:

The y-component of a vector is the magnitude times the sine of the angle.

y = 253 sin 55.8°

y = 209

A small piece of Styrofoam packing material is dropped from a height of 2.60 m above the ground. Until it reaches terminal speed
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) After the attainment of terminal speed , object takes 4.5 s to cover a distance of 2 m

So terminal speed V = 2 / 4.5

= .444 m /s

When it attains terminal speed , acceleration becomes zero

0 = g - B x .444

B = 22.25 s⁻¹

b ) At t = 0 , v = 0

a = g - B v

a = g at t = 0

c ) When v = .15

a = g - 22.25 x .15

= 9.8 - 3.31

= 6.5  m /s²

An alternating current is supplied to an electronic component with a warning that the voltage across it should never exceed 13 V
MrMuchimi

Answer:

9.2 V

Explanation:

The RMS value of an AC is the effective value of a varying voltage or current in DC, that is the equivalent value of the AC which produces the same effect as an DC. For example if a motor is supplied by a 9V RMS voltage, it will rotate as if the voltage applied was 9V DC.

The RMS value is given by:

RMS voltage = Peak voltage * 1/√2

Given that the maximum voltage should not exceed 13 V, this means that the peak voltage is 13 V. The maximum RMS voltage is:

RMS voltage = Peak voltage * 1/√2 = 13 * 1/√2 = 9.2 V

Which materials produce greater or fewer vibrations on a roller coaster?
mixer [17]
Steel materials produce less vibrations whilst less dense and more malleable parts produce more vibrations, e.g. the wooden part of the coaster itself.
