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

Identify characteristics of energy from the Sun. Check all that apply.
-BARSIC- [3]

Almost all of the energy on Earth comes from the Sun

The energy in fossil fuels originally came from the Sun

Plants convert the energy

Explanation:

The sun is the ultimate source of energy on earth and even the whole of the solar system. The sun drives and powers all external processes on earth. It produces its energy from the nuclear fusion of lighter nuclei into heavier ones.

  • Almost all of the energy on earth comes from the sun. A few component of the energy on the surface comes from the internal heat engine.
  • The energy of fossil fuels originally came from the sun. This is because, plants stores the energy in the process of photosynthesis. When they die and the energy is not released, the energy is stored as fossil fuels.
  • Plants in the process of photosynthesis converts the energy. Here green plants combines carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.

Onur drops a basketball from a height of 10m on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity has magnitude of 3.7 m/s^2. We want
denpristay [2]

Answer:

2.32 s

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion,

s = ut+g't²/2............................ Equation 1

Where s = distance, u = initial velocity, g' = acceleration due to gravity of  the moon, t = time.

Note: Since Onur drops the basket ball from a height, u = 0 m/s

Then,

s = g't²/2

make t the subject of the equation,

t = √(2s/g')...................... Equation 2

Given: s = 10 m, g' = 3.7 m/s²

Substitute this value into equation 2

t = √(2×10/3.7)

t = √(20/3.7)

t = √(5.405)

t = 2.32 s.

A horizontal force of 400 N is exerted on a 2.0-kg ball as it rotates (at
frutty [35]

Answer:

the speed of the ball is 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

magnitude of exerted force, F = 400 N

mass of the ball, m = 2 kg

radius of the circle, r = 0.5

The speed of the ball is calculated by applying centripetal force formula;

F = \frac{mv^2}{r} \\\\v^2 = \frac{Fr}{m}\\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{Fr}{m}}\\\\ v = \sqrt{\frac{400*0.5}{2}}\\\\v = 10 \ m/s

Therefore, the speed of the ball is 10 m/s

5. Each of five satellites makes a circular orbit about an object that is much more massive than any of the satellites. The mass
Vikentia [17]

The options of the question are missing. I have attached it.

Answer:

Satellite in option B will have the greatest speed.

Explanation:

From kepplers third law, we know that

V² = GM/R

Thus, v = √(GM/R)

Where;

v is velocity

G is gravitational constant

M is mass

R is radius

Looking at the options, let's start from the first one;

Option A

Here, mass = (1/2)m and radius = R

So, v = √(GM/R) thus v = √(G(m/2)/R) = √(Gm/2R)

Option B

Here, mass = m and radius = (1/2)R

Thus v = √(Gm/(R/2)) = √(2Gm/R)

Option C

Here, mass = m and radius = R

Thus v = √(Gm/R)

Option D

Here, mass = m and radius = 2R

Thus v = √(Gm/(2R))

Now, inspecting all the options, it's clear that option B will have the greatest velocity because it's numerator is the biggest and will in turn lead to higher velocity.
