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.

A strong lightning bolt transfers an electric charge of about 31 C to Earth (or vice versa). How many electrons are transferred?

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

$m=5.78\times 10^{-3}\ g$

$n_e=1.935\times 10^{20}$ is the no. of electrons

Explanation:

Given:

quantity of charge transferred, $Q=31\ C$

No. of electrons in the given amount of charge:

As we have charge on one electron $1.602\times 10^{-19}\ C$

so,

$n_e=\frac{Q}{e}$

$n_e=\frac{31}{1.602\times 10^{-19}}$

$n_e=1.935\times 10^{20}$ is the no. of electrons

Now if each water molecules donates one electron:

Then we require $n=1.935\times 10^{20}$ molecules.

Now the no. of moles in this many molecules:

$n_m=\frac{n}{N_A}$

where

$N_A=6.022\times 10^{23}$ Avogadro No.

$n_m=\frac{1.935\times 10^{20}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}$

$n_m=3.213\times 10^{-4}\ moles$

We have molecular mass of water as M=18 g/mol.

So, the mass of water in the obtained moles:

$n_m=\frac{m}{M}$

where:

m = mass in gram

$3.213\times 10^{-4}=\frac{m}{18}$

$m=5.78\times 10^{-3}\ g$

An object moves in uniform circular motion at 25 m/s and takes 1.0 second to go a quarter circle. What is the radius of the circ

FromTheMoon [43]

Object Motion: 25 m/s

Circumference of Circle:
1/4 Circumference of Circle in 1 second = 25 meters
25 meters times 4 = Circumference of Circle
Circumference = 100 meters

Formula to Find Circumference of Circle: (work opposite)
C = 2πr

100 = 2πr divided
100/2π = r simplify
50/π = r (exact radius)

Answer:
50/π meters = r (exact radius)

What is one disadvantage of a series circuit?

nlexa [21]

If one bulb goes out then all the others won't light up because electricity will be cut off. It's a disadvantage because in a parallel circuit if one bulb burns out all the others will still be on because they won't be affected. I hope I've helped you ☺

How much force is needed to accelerate a 68 kilogram skier at a rate of 1.2m/sec

xxMikexx [17]

Let's use Newton's 2nd law of motion:

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Force = (68 kg) x (1.2 m/s²) = 81.6 newtons .

One horse is pulling a 755 kg sled straight ahead applying a force of 1988 N. If the acceleration of the sled is 1.36 m/s2, what

Inessa [10]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.13

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force on it, the factor of proportionality is the mass. So, we can express that law mathematically as:

$\sum\overrightarrow{F}=m\overrightarrow{a}$ (1)

With F the net force, m the mass and a the acceleration of the object. In our case we're interested on what's happening to the sled, then we have to analyze the forces on it, those forces are the weight and the normal force on the vertical direction and the pulling force and frictional force in the horizontal direction. So, because (1) is a vector equation we can express that in their vertical (y) and horizontal (x) components:

$F_y=ma_y$ (2)

$F_x=ma_x$ (3)

On y we have that the acceleration is zero because the sled is not moving upward or downward, remember that the net force on y is the weight (W) pointing downward and the normal force pointing upward:

$F_y=W+n=0$

Following the convention that positive is upward and negative downward, W=mg=(755)(-9.81):

$F_y=(755)(-9.81)+n=0$

$n=7406.55 N$ (4)

Now on the x direction we have the sum of the forces is the pulling force (T) and friction force (f)

$F_x=F+f=ma_x$

Choosing the direction where the horse is pulling F=1988N and the acceleration should be positive too, then:

$1988+f=m(1.36)$

$f=(755)(1.36)-1988=-961.2 N$

The negative sign means it's in the opposite direction the horse is pulling

The frictional force is related with the coefficient of kinetic friction in the next way:

$|f|=\mu_k n$

with μk the coefficient of kinetic friction, and n the normal force that we already found on (4), so we simply solve the last equation for μk:

$\mu_k=\frac{|f|}{n}=\frac{961.2}{7406.55}=0.13$
