W = m • g

Weight = mass x local gravity.

The object's acceleration doesn't matter.

Answer

-Directly; outside air pressure

Vapor pressure is directly related to the temperature of the liquid. user: in an open system, the vapor pressure is equal to the outside air pressure.

Explanation;

-As the temperature of a system increases, the average kinetic energy of the molecules increases in both the liquid and gas phases.

-A higher average kinetic energy facilitates the escape of molecules from the liquid phase into the gas phase. At the same time, the rate of return of gas phase molecules to the liquid also increases. A new equilibrium point is reached at a higher gaseous vapor pressure. The increase in vapor pressure with temperature is exponential.

En la figura los émbolos son de masa despreciable y están en reposo, como se ve en la figura, siendo M=300 kg. Determine: a) la

Leni [432]

The image mentioned is in the attachment

Answer: a) P = 2450 Pa;

b) P = 2940 Pa;

c) F = 4.9 N

Explanation:

a) Pressure is a force applied to a surface of an object or fluid per unit area.

The image shows a block applying pressure on the large side of the piston. The force applied is due to gravitation, so:

P = $\frac{F}{A}$

P = $\frac{m.g}{A}$

P = $\frac{300.9.8}{1.2}$

P = 2450 Pa

The pressure generated by the block is P = 2450 Pa.

b) A static liquid can also exert pressure and can be calculated as:

$P_{staticfluid} =$ ρ.g.h

where

ρ is the density of the fluid

h is the depth of the fluid

g is acceleration of gravity

$P_{staticfluid} =$ 600.9.8.0.5

$P_{staticfluid} =$ 2940 Pa

The pressure in the fluid at 50 cm deep is $P_{staticfluid} =$ 2940 Pa.

c) For the system to be in equilibrium both pressures, pressure on the left side and pressure on the right side, have to be the same:

$P_{s} = P_{b}$

$\frac{F}{A_s}$ = $\frac{F_b}{A_b}$

F = $\frac{F_b}{A_b}.A_s$

Adjusting the units, $A_{s}$ = 0.002 m².

F = $\frac{300.9.8.0.002}{1.2}$

F = 4.9 N

The force necessary to be equilibrium is F = 4.9 N.

Use the passage to answer the question.

Studentka2010 [4]

This is not something that waves do because they need a medium to travel through, while particles do not.

<h3>How light travels in space?</h3>

A light travels without any medium while on the other hand, a medium is required for sound waves to move from oe place to another. Sound is a mechanical wave that cannot travel through a vacuum.

So we can conclude that electromagnetic waves like light do not require medium for its propagation.

Answer:

<em>The penny will hit the ground at 6.39 seconds</em>

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall</u>

The penny is dropped from a height of y=200 m. The equation of the height on a free-fall motion is given by:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}$

Where $g=9.8\ m/s^2$ , and t is the time.

Solving for t:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}$

Using the value y=200:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2*200}{9.8}}$

t=6.39 sec

The penny will hit the ground at 6.39 seconds
