Answer:

A  mercury barometer is a device use to measure stomspheric pressure and is constructed as following:

  • A mercury barometer requires a tube which has one close end, and one open end.
  • Tube is placed upside down in a beaker in such a way so that one end open in the beaker and the other remain outside of the beaker.
  • The barometric liquid (mercury) is then filled in the tube by pouring mercury liquid in the beaker.

The position of tube creates vacuum between the closed end of the tube and liquid surface and the Mercury has high density that is why used as the liquid to measure pressure.

A quantity of a gas has an absolute pressure of 400 kPa and an absolute temperature of 110 degrees kelvin. When the temperature
shepuryov [24]

You can make sure there's no change in volume by keeping
your gas in a sealed jar with no leaks.  Then you can play with
the temperature and the pressure all you want, and you'll know
that the volume is constant.

For 'ideal' gases,

       (pressure) times (volume) is proportional to (temperature).

And if volume is constant, then

                 (pressure) is proportional to (temperature) .

So if you increase the temperature from 110K to 235K,
the pressure increases to  (235/110)  of where it started.

     (400 kPa) x (235/110)  =  854.55 kPa. (rounded)

Obviously, choice-b is the right one, but
I don't know where the .46 came from.

Why do planets rings surround them and not the sun
Shalnov [3]

Well, the rings surrounding a planet are made out of rock. A ring surrounding the sun would be impossible since the sun can reach more than 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius.)

Hope this helped.

A race car circles 10 times around a circular 8.0-km track in 20 min.
Otrada [13]
Find the average speed and the average velocity.

Average speed = distance / time

distance = 10 x 8000 m = 80,000 m
time = 20 min * 60 s/min = 1200 s

Average speed = 80,000 m / 1200 s = 66.67 m/s

Average velocity = displacement / time

Given that the race car made complete circles the final poin is the same initial point, then its displacement is zero and the average velocity is zero too.
