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 hot iron horseshoe (mass = 0.35 kg ), just forged, is dropped into 1.40 L of water in a 0.45 kg iron pot initially at 22.0°C.

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

$420$ °C

Explanation:

$m_{h}$ = mass of the horseshoe = 0.35 kg

$m_{w}$ = mass of the water = 1.40 L = 1.40 kg

$m_{i}$ = mass of the iron pot = 0.45 kg

$c_{i}$ = specific heat of iron = 450 J kg⁻¹ °C⁻¹

$c_{w}$ = specific heat of water = 4186 J kg⁻¹ °C⁻¹

$T_{hi}$ = initial temperature of the horseshoe = ?

$T_{wi}$ = initial temperature of the water = 22 °C

$T_{pi}$ = initial temperature of the iron pot = 22 °C

$T_{f}$ = final temperature = 32 °C

Using conservation of Heat

$m_{h}c_{i}(T_{hi} - T_{f}) = m_{w}c_{w}(T_{f} - T_{wi}) + m_{i}c_{i}(T_{f} - T_{pi})$

$(0.35)(450)(T_{hi} - 32) = (1.40)(4186)(32 - 22) + (0.45)(450)(32 - 22)$

$(157.5)(T_{hi} - 32) = 60629$

$T_{hi} - 32 = 384.95$

$T_{hi} = 420$ °C

In an experiment, a disk is set into motion such that it rotates with a constant angular speed. As the disk spins, a small spher

boyakko [2]

Answer:

L₀ = L_f , K_f < K₀

Explanation:

For this exercise we start as the angular momentum, with the friction force they are negligible and if we define the system as formed by the disk and the clay sphere, the forces during the collision are internal and therefore the angular momentum is conserved.

This means that the angular momentum before and after the collision changes.

Initial instant. Before the crash

L₀ = I₀ w₀

Final moment. Right after the crash

L_f = (I₀ + mr²) w

we treat the clay sphere as a point particle

how the angular momentum is conserved

L₀ = L_f

I₀ w₀ = (I₀ + mr²) w

w = $\frac{I_o}{I_o + m r^2}$ w₀

having the angular velocities we can calculate the kinetic energy

starting point. Before the crash

K₀ = ½ I₀ w₀²

final point. After the crash

K_f = ½ (I₀ + mr²) w²

sustitute

K_f = ½ (I₀ + mr²) ( $\frac{I_o}{I_o + m r^2}$ w₀)²

Kf = ½ $\frac{I_o^2}{ I_o + m r^2}$ w₀²

we look for the relationship between the kinetic energy

$\frac{K_f}{K_o}$ = $\frac{I_o}{I_o + m r^2}$

$\frac{K_f}{K_o } < 1$

K_f < K₀

we see that the kinetic energy is not constant in the process, this implies that part of the energy is transformed into potential energy during the collision

A snowboarder goes down the hill with a slope of 28° if friction acts on him as he slides down which of the following is the cor

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

All of the frictions are the same, but weight always goes straight down so it can only be A or B. Since they are going down a slope, then the normal force must be sloped. A is the only one out of A and B with a sloped normal force, so it has to be A

An igneous rock becomes buried, is subject to high heat and pressure, and recrystallizes. This rock then is eroded, transported,

nevsk [136]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

When an igneous rock becomes buried, is subjected to high heat and pressure, and recrystallizes it is formed into Metamorphic rock. Now this rock is eroded, transported, deposited and subsequently lithified to be converted into Sedimentary rock.

The same igneous rock is first converted into Metamorphic and then into sedimentary by the process of weathering.

to move a resting box of 100 Newton on the ground with kinetic friction coeficient of 0,250 is applied a force of 60 N horizonta

krok68 [10]

Work is calculated by multiplying force by the distance that the object had moved. The applied force is 60 N, moving the object by 10 m. Thus, the work does is 600 J. For the friction force which is equal to,
100N x 0.250 = 25.0 N
the work done is,
W = (60 N - 25 N) x 10 m = 350 J
The kinetic energy of the box can be equated to this force. Thus, the answer is also 350 J.
