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

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

a. The station is rotating at $1.496 \frac{rev}{min}$

b. the rotation needed is $2.8502 \frac{rev}{min}$

Explanation:

We know that the centripetal acceleration is

$a_{c}= \omega ^2 r$

where $\omega$ is the rotational speed and r is the radius. As the centripetal acceleration is feel like an centrifugal acceleration in the rotating frame of reference (be careful, as the rotating frame of reference is <u>NOT INERTIAL,</u> the centrifugal force is a fictitious force, the real force is the centripetal).

<h3>a. </h3>

The rotational speed is :

$2.7 \frac{m}{s^2} = \omega ^2 * 110 \ m$

$\omega ^2 = \frac{2.7 \frac{m}{s^2}} {110 \ m}$

$\omega = \sqrt{ 0.02454 \frac{rad^2}{s^2} }$

$\omega = 0.1567 \frac{rad}{s}$

Knowing that there are $2\pi \ rad$ in a revolution and 60 seconds in a minute.

$\omega = 0.1567 \frac{rad}{s} \frac{1 \ rev}{2\pi \ rad} \frac{60 \ s}{1 \ min}$

$\omega = 1.496 \frac{rev}{min}$

<h3>b. </h3>

The rotational speed needed is :

$9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} = \omega ^2 * 110 \ m$

$\omega ^2 = \frac{9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}} {110 \ m}$

$\omega = \sqrt{ 0.08909 \frac{rad^2}{s^2} }$

$\omega = 0.2985 \frac{rad}{s}$

Knowing that there are $2\pi \ rad$ in a revolution and 60 seconds in a minute.

$\omega = 0.2985 \frac{rev}{min} \frac{1 \ rev}{2\pi \ rad} \frac{60 \ s}{1 \ min}$

$\omega = 2.8502 \frac{rev}{min}$

Explain the difference between what Isaac Newton and Louis de Broglie would have to say about the momentum of a particle that is

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Newton would resort to the classical mechanics and say that the momentum of the particle that is moving with a constant velocity will be given by: momentum = mass x velocity

this approach will highlight the particle nature and will not be relativistic.

De-Broglie will say that the momentum of the particle is related to its associated matter wave and the relation between them is given by:

$p = \frac{h}{\lambda}$

where \lambda = wavelength of the matter wave associated to the particle, h = planck's constant

and $p = \gamma\times mv$

thus, this highlights the wave nature of the particle and is also relativistic.

PLEASE HELP ANSWER FAST As the vibration of molecules decreases, the _____ of the substance decreases. 1.temperature 2.internal

Aleksandr [31]

I think 1 and 3 is absolutely right but im not sure about number 2.
I think the answer is 4 all of the above because as the vibration decrease automatically the kinetic energy decrease and the temperature is decrease because when the vibration of molecules decrease thats mean the substances is slightly become a solid and you can get a solid cube of liquid if you freeze them
