Answer:

Barometer is used to measure air pressure.

Explanation:

Barometer :

Barometer used to measure the air pressure.

It is the scientific device which is used to measure the atmospheric pressure.

Atmospheric pressure change with the distance above and below the sea level.

When the air pressure is greater, then the mercury rises the higher.

Air pressure :

The weight of the air molecules pressing down on the earth it is called air pressure.

The density of air molecules is higher at sea level where the air pressure will be higher.

By how much does the pressure of a gas in a rigid vessel decrease when the temperature drops from 0 ∘C to –1∘C?

Ugo [173]

When a problem says a rigid vessel, it means that volume is constant. At constant V, pressure and temperature are indirectly proportional. We calculate as follows:

P1/T1 = P2/T2
P1/P2 = T1/T2
P1/P2 = 273.15 / 272.15
P1/P2 = 1.00

Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

1. A step-up transformer increases 15.7V to 110V. What is the current in the secondary as compared to the primary? Assume 100 pe

Serjik [45]

1. $I_2 = 0.14 I_1$

Explanation:

We have:

$V_1 = 15.7 V$ voltage in the primary coil

$V_2 = 110 V$ voltage in the secondary coil

The efficiency of the transformer is 100%: this means that the power in the primary coil and in the secondary coil are equal

$P_1 = P_2\\V_1 I_1 = V_2 I_2$

where I1 and I2 are the currents in the two coils. Re-arranging the equation, we find

$\frac{I_2}{I_1}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{15.7 V}{110 V}=0.14$

which means that the current in the secondary coil is 14% of the value of the current in the primary coil.

2. 5.7 V

We can solve the problem by using the transformer equation:

$\frac{N_p}{N_s}=\frac{V_p}{V_s}$

where:

Np = 400 is the number of turns in the primary coil

Ns = 19 is the number of turns in the secondary coil

Vp = 120 V is the voltage in the primary coil

Vs = ? is the voltage in the secondary coil

Re-arranging the formula and substituting the numbers, we find:

$V_s = V_p \frac{N_s}{N_p}=(120 V)\frac{19}{400}=5.7 V$

If the coefficient of friction is 0.3900 and the cylinder has a radius of 2.700 m, what is the minimum angular speed of the cyli

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

w=3.05 rad/s or 29.88rpm

Explanation:

k = coefficient of friction = 0.3900

R = radius of the cylinder = 2.7m

V = linear speed of rotation of the cylinder

w = angular speed = V/R or to rewrite V = w*R

N = normal force to cylinder

N= $=\frac{m(V)^{2}}{R}=m*(w)^2*R$

$Friction force\\Ff = k*N\\Ff= k*m*w^2*R$

$Gravitational force \\Fg = m*g$

These must be balanced (the net force on the people will be 0) so set them equal to each other.

$Fg = Ff$

$m*g = k*m*w^2*R$

$g=k*w^{2}*R$

$w^2 =\frac{g}{k*R}$

$w=\sqrt{\frac{g}{k*R}} \\w =\sqrt{\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}{0.3900*2.7m}}\\ w=\sqrt{9.306}=3.05 \frac{rad}{s}$

There are 2*pi radians in 1 revolution so:

$RPM=\frac{w}{2\pi }*60\\RPM=\frac{3.05\frac{rad}{s}}{2\pi}*60\\RPM= 0.498*60\\RPM=29.88$

So you need about 30 RPM to keep people from falling out the bottom
