The basic barometer can be used as an altitude-measuring device in airplanes. The ground control reports a barometric reading of

753 mmHg while the pilot's reading is 690 mmHg. Estimate the altitude of the plane from ground level if the average air density is 1.20 kg/m

Answer:

Δh_air=714m

Explanation:

Given data

P_{1}=753mmHg\\P_{2}=690mmHg\\ p_{air}=1.2kg/m^{3}\\  g=9.8m/s^{2}

Solution

ΔP=P₁-P₂

=(ΔhHg)×pHg×g

=(Δh_air)× p_air ×g

Then

Δh_air=(pHg+ΔhHg)÷p_air

=\frac{13600*(753-690)*10^{-3} }{1.2}\\ =714m

Δh_air=714m

For the circuit shown in (Figure 1), find the potential difference between points a and b. Each resistor has
Lynna [10]

The potential difference between points a and b is zero.

<h3>Total emf of the series circuit</h3>

The total emf in the circuit is the sum of all the emf in the circuit.

emf(total) = 1.5 + 1.5 = 3.0 V

<h3>Potential difference</h3>

The potential difference between two points, a and b is calculated as follows;

V(ab) = Va - Vb

V(ab) = 1.5 - 1.5

V(ab) = 0

Thus, the potential difference between points a and b is zero.

Three basic electrical effects occur when an electric current flows in a conductor: A magnetic field is set up around the conduc
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

A drop in voltage occurs  

Explanation:

When electric current flows through a conduct, there are three basic electrical effects that occur to the conductor;

1. A magnetic field is set up around the conductor,

      A magnetic field is formed around a conductor when current flows through it which makes it acts like a magnet. Application is used in electric bells.

2. Heat is generated, and

     The heating effect of current is due to the conversion of some of the electrical energy that passes through the conductor, into heat energy. Application of heat effect include electric iron, microwave oven, electric bulb, hair straightener etc.

                          H = I²Rt

3. A drop in voltage occurs  

      Voltage drop is as a result of current passing through the impedance  offers by the conductor or circuit elements. When current passes through a conductor, the resistance offers opposition to the flow of the electric current according to Ohm's law.

The current supplied by a battery as a function of time is I(t) = (0.88 A) e^(-t*6 hr). What is the total number of electrons tr
Degger [83]

Answer:

e. 1.2 x 10²³

Explanation:

According to the problem, The current equation is given by:

I(t)=0.88e^{-t/6\times3600s}

Here time is in seconds.

Consider at t=0 s the current starts to flow due to battery and the current stops when the time t tends to infinite.

The relation between current and number of charge carriers is:

q=\int\limits {I} \, dt

Here the limits of integration is from 0 to infinite. So,

q=\int\limits {0.88e^{-t/6\times3600s}}\, dt

q=0.88\times(-6\times3600)(0-1)

q = 1.90 x 10⁴ C

Consider N be the total number of charge carriers. So,

q = N e

Here e is electronic charge and its value is 1.69 x 10⁻¹⁹ C.

N = q/e

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

N= \frac{1.9\times10^{4} }{1.69\times10^{-19}}

N = 1.2 x 10²³

Why does a hot-air balloon rise?
prohojiy [21]

Answer: The weight of the air displaced by the balloon is less than the volume of the balloon.

Explanation:

A hot air balloon is a cloth wrap that contains several thousand cubic meters of air inside (a large volume of air). The burner heats the liquid propane to a gaseous state to generate a huge flame, which can reach more than 3 meters, thus heating the air mass inside the balloon. In this way,<u> its density is modified with respect to the air that surrounds it</u>, because the hot air is lighter than the outside air (less dense), causing the balloon to rise and float.

Now, if we know that the density of a body d is directly proportional to its mass m and inversely proportional to its volume V:

d=\frac{m}{V}

We can deduce that <u>by increasing the volume of the body, its density will decrease.</u>

This is proof of <em><u>Archimedes' Principle</u></em>:  

<em>A body totally or partially immersed in a fluid at rest, experiences a vertical upward thrust equal to the mass weight of the body volume that is displaced.</em>

In this case the fluid is the air outside. So, the warm air inside the balloon, being less dense, will weigh less than the outside air and therefore will receive an upward pushing force or thrust that will make the balloon ascend.

EXPERTS/ACE and people that wanna help 4 sure only!
oee [108]
To do this you want to solve for one variable at a time. So we want to cancel out a variable. Lets cancel x. I will multiply the first equation by the number 4 to get 4y=4x-16.
Now lets solve equation 2 for y, giving
-3y=-4x+3 now add equation 1 to equation 2
Y =-13
Now plug that back in to either
-13=x-4
X=-9
So the answer is (-9,-13)
