A vessel that contains a gas has two pressure gauges attached to it. One contains liquid mercury, and the other an oil such as d

ibutyl phthalate. The difference in levels of mercury in the two arms of the mercury gauge is observed to be 9.50 cm.
Given density of mercury is 13.60 g cm², density of oil is 1.045 g cm², acceleration due to gravity is 9.806 m s².
(a) What is the pressure of the gas?
(b) What is the difference in height of the oil in the two arms of the oil pressure gauge?

Answer:

Pressure of the gas = 12669 (Pa) and height of the oil is 1,24 meters

Explanation:

First, we can use the following sketch for an easy understanding, in the attached image we can see the two pressure gauges the one with mercury to the right and the other one with oil to left. We have all the information needed in the mercury pressure gauge, so we can determine the pressure inside the vessel because the fluid is a gas it will have the same pressure distributed inside the vessel (P1).

Since P1 = Pgas, we can use the same formula, but this time we need to determine the height of the column of oil in the pressure gauge.

The result is that the height of the oil column is higher than the height of the one that uses mercury, this is due to the higher density of mercury compared to oil.

Note: the information given in the units of the fluids is not correct because the density is always expressed in units of (mass /volume)

Complete Question

A football coach walks 18 meters westward, then 12 meters eastward, then 28 meters westward, and finally 14 meters eastward.

a

From this motion what is the distance covered

b

What is the magnitude and direction of the displacement

Answer:

a

  D =   72 \  m

b

Magnitude

             d =  - 20 \ m

 Direction  

West

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first distance covered westward is d_w_1  =  18 \  m /tex]     The  first distance covered eastward is [tex]d_e1 =  12 \  m /tex]      The second distance covered westward is [tex]d_w_2  =  28 \  m /tex]      The  second distance covered eastward is [tex]d_e2 =  14 \  m /tex]   Generally the distance covered is mathematically represented as       [tex]D =  d_w1 + d_w2 + d_e1 + d_e2

=> D =   18 + 28 + 12 +  14

=> D =   72 \  m

For the second question eastward is in the direction of the positive x-axis so it would be positive and westward is in the direction of the negative x-axis so it would be negative

The magnitude of the displacement is

d =  -d_w1 -d_w2 + d_e1 + d_e2

=>  d =  -18-28 + 12 + 14

=> d =  - 20 \ m

The direction is west

Students perform a set of experiments by placing a block of mass m against a spring, compressing the spring a distance x along a
Verizon [17]

Increasing the angle of inclination of the plane decreases the velocity of the block as it leaves the spring.

  • The statement that indicates how the relationship between <em>v</em> and <em>x</em> changes is;<u> As </u><u><em>x</em></u><u> increases, </u><u><em>v</em></u><u> increases, but the relationship is no longer linear and the values of </u><u><em>v</em></u><u> will be less for the same value of </u><u><em>x</em></u><u>.</u>

Reasons:

The energy given  to the block by the spring = \mathbf{0.5  \cdot k  \cdot x^2}

According to the principle of conservation of energy, we have;

On a flat plane, energy given to the block = 0.5  \cdot k  \cdot x^2 = kinetic energy of

block = 0.5  \cdot m  \cdot v^2

Therefore;

0.5·k·x² = 0.5·m·v²

Which gives;

x² ∝ v²

x ∝ v

On a plane inclined at an angle θ, we have;

The energy of the spring = \mathbf{0.5  \cdot k  \cdot x^2}

  • The force of the weight of the block on the string, F = m \cdot g  \cdot sin(\theta)

The energy given to the block = 0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2 - m \cdot g  \cdot sin(\theta) = The kinetic energy of block as it leaves the spring = \mathbf{0.5  \cdot m  \cdot v^2}

Which gives;

0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2 - m \cdot g  \cdot sin(\theta) = 0.5  \cdot m  \cdot v^2

Which is of the form;

a·x² - b = c·v²

a·x² + c·v² = b

Where;

a, b, and <em>c</em> are constants

The graph of the equation a·x² + c·v² = b  is an ellipse

Therefore;

  • As <em>x</em> increases, <em>v</em> increases, however, the value of <em>v</em> obtained will be lesser than the same value of <em>x</em> as when the block is on a flat plane.

<em>Please find attached a drawing related to the question obtained from a similar question online</em>

<em>The possible question options are;</em>

  • <em>As x increases, v increases, but the relationship is no longer linear and the values of v will be less for the same value of x</em>
  • <em>The relationship is no longer linear and v will be more for the same value of x</em>
  • <em>The relationship is still linear, with lesser value of v</em>
  • <em>The relationship is still linear, with higher value of v</em>
  • <em>The relationship is still linear, but vary inversely, such that as x increases, v decreases</em>

a) Calculate the magnitude of displacement of the car in 40 seconds. b) During which part of the journey was the car acceleratin
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

a)  600 meters

b) between 0 and 10 seconds, and between 30 and 40 seconds.

c) the average of the magnitude of the velocity function is 15 m/s

Explanation:

a) In order to find the magnitude of the car's displacement in 40 seconds,we need to find the area under the curve (integral of the depicted velocity function) between 0 and 40 seconds. Since the area is that of a trapezoid, we can calculate it directly from geometry:

Area \,\,Trapezoid=(\left[B+b]\,(H/2)\\displacement= \left[(40-0)+(30-10)\right] \,(20/2)=600\,\,m

b) The car is accelerating when the velocity is changing, so we see that the velocity is changing (increasing) between 0 and 10 seconds, and we also see the velocity decreasing between 30 and 40 seconds.

Notice that between 10 and 30 seconds the velocity is constant (doesn't change)  of magnitude 20 m/s, so in this section of the trip there is NO acceleration.

c) To calculate the average of a function that is changing over time, we do it through calculus, using the formula for average of a function:

Average\,of\,f(x)=\frac{1}{b-a} \int\limits^b_a {f(x)} \, dx

Notice that the limits of integration for our case are 0 and 40 seconds, and that we have already calculated the area under the velocity function (the integral) in step a), so the average velocity becomes:

Avearage=\frac{600\,\,m}{40\,\,s}= 15\,\,\frac{m}s}

Radio waves are readily diffracted around buildings, whereas light waves are negligibly diffracted around buildings. This is bec
Tom [10]

Answer:

Radio waves have longer wavelength

Explanation:

Radio wave is an electromagnetic frequency that has the ability to travel through long distance. They have frequencies shuttling been the range of 10^4 hz and a frequency of 10^12 hz

Light wave is also called visible light. This is because it is visible to the naked eye, despite it being in the electromagnetic spectrum. It's frequency is usually between 4*10^-7 hz and a frequency of 7*10^-7 hz.

As can be seen from both, the radio waves length are quite far stronger than that of the light waves.
