Evangelista Torricelli was the first person to realize that we live at the bottom of an ocean of air. He correctly surmised that

the pressure of our atmosphere is attributable to the weight of the air. The density of air at 0°C at the Earth's surface is 1.29 kg/m3. The density decreases with increasing altitude (as the atmosphere thins). On the other hand, if we assume that the density is constant at 1.29 kg/m3 up to some altitude h, and zero above that altitude, then h would represent the depth of the ocean of air.
(a) Use this model to determine the value of h that gives a pressure of 1.00 atm at the surface of the Earth.
(b) Would the peak of Mt. Everest rise above the surface of such an atmosphere?
Yes or no?

Answer:

a)    h = 8.02 10³ m  b) yes

Explanation:

a) The pressure in a fluid is given by

      P = ρ g h

The pressure in this case is the atmospheric pressure, 1.013 105 Pa, let's clear the height (h)

      h = P / ρ g

      h = 1.013 10⁵ / (1.29 9.8)

      h = 8.02 10³ m

b) The height of Mount Everest is 8848 m

It is above this height, according to this model there would be no air to breathe

A force of 30 N stretches a very light ideal spring 0.73 m from equilibrium. What is the force constant (spring constant) of the
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = k*n

F = 30N

k = ???

N = 0.73 M

F = k* N

30N = k * 0.73

k = 30N / 0.73

k = 41.1

Which of the following statements is accurate?
cupoosta [38]

Answer: A and B

Explanation:

A

The wavelength of both transverse and longitudinal waves is measured parallel to the direction of the travel of the wave.

Because wavelength is the distance between the two successful crest or trough.

B) 

Amplitude of longitudinal waves is measured at right angles to the direction of the travel of the wave and represents the maximum distance the molecule has moved from its normal position.

Because amplitude is the measure of maximum displacement from the original position

In a swimming meet, the swimmers swim a total of 8 laps of a 50-meter-long swimming pool. What is the distance traveled by a swi
N76 [4]

Answer:

The swimmer has a distance traveled of 800 meters.

The final displacement of the swimmer is 0 meters.

Explanation:

A lap is a round trip made by a swimmer in the pool, so that the distance traveled by swimmer is sixteen times the length of the swimming pool. That is:

s = \left(2\,\frac{travels}{lap} \right)\cdot \left(8\,laps \right)\cdot \left(50\,\frac{m}{travel}\right)

s = 800\,m

A swimmer has a distance traveled of 800 meters.

The displacement is the distance between swimmer and a reference point, let suppose that reference point is located at the beginning of the first lap. Hence, the final displacement of the swimmer is 0 meters.

slava [35]

There are mistakes in the question as the unit of speed and height is not mention here.The correct question is here

A student standing on the ground throws a ball straight up. The ball leaves the student's hand with a speed of 16.0m/s when the hand is 1.80m above the ground.How long is the ball in the air before it hits the ground? (The student moves her hand out of the way.)

Answer:

t=3.37s

Explanation:

Given Data

As we have taken hand at origin and positive upward

So given data are

y_{i}=0m\\y_{f}=-1.80m\\v_{i}=16.0m/s\\a=g=9.8m/s^{2}

To find

time taken by the ball before it hits the ground

Solution

By using the common kinematic equation

y_{f}=y_{i}+v_{i}t+0.5at^{2}

Put the given values and find for t

So

-1.80=0+16.0t+(0.5*(-9.8)t^{2} )\\-1.80=16.0t-4.9t^{2}\\ 4.9t^{2}-16.0t-1.80=0

Apply quadratic formula to solve for t

t=\frac{-(-16.0)+\sqrt{(-16)^{2}+4(4.9)(-1.80)} }{2(4.9)}\\ t=3.37s

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Design 2

Explanation:

I had this same question

My answer:

"Design 2 is the well-designed one, because the air molecules are the most compact and could protect the individual better than 1,3,and no air bag."
