The basic barometer can be used to measure the height of a building. If the barometric readings at the top and at the bottom of

a building are 675 and 695 mm Hg, respectively, determine the height of the building. Take the densities of air and mercury to be 1.18 kg/m³ and 13,600 kg/m³, respectively.

Answer:

   (h₁-h₂) = 2.30 10² m

Explanation:

The pressure depends on the height with the formula

          P = P_atm + rho g h

Let's apply this expression for the building

         P₁ = P_atm + rho_air g h₁

        P₂ = P_atm + rho_air g h₂

Subtract

        P₁ - P₂ = roh_air g (h₁ –h₂)

         

         

The measured pressure is in mm Hg to take this unit to units of pressure must be multiplied by the density of mercury and the acceleration of gravity

           P₁- P₂ = rho_Hg g (h₁-h₂) _Hg

         rho_Hg g (h₁-h₂) _Hg = roh_air g (h₁ –h₂)

          (h₁ –h₂) = rho_Hg / rho_air (h₁-h₂) _ Hg

Let's calculate

         (h₁-h₂) = 13600 / 1.18 (695-675)

         (h₁-h₂) = 2.30 10⁵ mm

Let's reduce to meter

         (h₁-h₂) = 2.30 10⁵ mm (1 m / 10³ mm)

         (h₁-h₂) = 2.30 10² m

A proton and an electron are placed in an electric field. Which undergoes the greater acceleration?
iren2701 [21]

Newton's 2nd law:

Fnet = ma

Fnet is the net force acting on an object, m is the object's mass, and a is the acceleration.

The electric force on a charged object is given by

Fe = Eq

Fe is the electric force, E is the electric field at the point where the object is, and q is the object's charge.

We can assume, if the only force acting on the proton and electron is the electric force due to the electric field, that for both particles, Fnet = Fe

Fe = Eq

Eq = ma

a = Eq/m

We will also assume that the electric field acting on the proton and electron are the same. The proton and electron also have the same magnitude of charge (1.6×10⁻¹⁹C). What makes the difference in their acceleration is their masses. A quick Google search will provide the following values:

mass of proton = 1.67×10⁻²⁷kg

mass of electron = 9.11×10⁻³¹kg

The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to its mass, so the electron will experience a greater acceleration than the proton.

Why does a third class lever cannot magnify force?​
maw [93]

Explanation:

The third class lever cannot magnify our force because in third class lever the effort it between the load and the fulcrum. Also, in this type of lever no matter where the force is applied, it is always greater than the force of load. Hence, That type of lever cannot magnify our force.

Sheila eats an energy bar right before she goes on a run. What energy changes will occur in sheila as she runs after eating?
LiRa [457]
The energy bar eaten by Sheila has chemical energy locked up inside it. This chemical energy is converted to mechanical energy in form of potential and kinetic energy and this in turn is converted to heat energy as the run progresses. Thus, the energy changes are: chemical energy to mechanical energy [kinetic and potential] and finally to heat energy.
