Show that atmosphere exerts pressure.

Physics
1 answer:
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Put in some little water in a can and boil it until all the water evaporates. While being careful, cover the can with its lid so that it is airtight. Pour very cold water on the can and you'll observe the can crumbles inwards. This is due to atmospheric pressure which is higher on the outside of the can than inside.

Another observation is during siphoning.  Put one end of a pipe inside a tank with water and suck out the air in the pipe on the other end (Remember the end you suck on must be at a lower level than the water level in the tank – this creates a potential difference). You notice that when sucking out all the air in the pipe and the water starts exiting the end, it continues to draw water from the tank with no more sucking. This is also due to atmospheric pressure applying to the water in the tank.

You are moving at a speed 2/3 c toward randy when randy shines a light toward you. at what speed do you see the light approachin
yarga [219]
I see the light moving exactly at speed equal to c.

In fact, the second postulate of special relativity states that:
"The speed of light in free space has the same value c<span> in all inertial frames of reference."
</span>
The problem says that I am moving at speed 2/3 c, so my motion is a uniform motion (constant speed). This means I am in an inertial frame of reference, so the speed of light in this frame must be equal to c.

A 555 g ball strikes a wall at 14.9 m/s and rebounds at 12.1 m/s. The ball is in contact with the wall for 0.044 s. What is the
DiKsa [7]
<h2>The magnitude of the average force acting on the ball during the collision is 340.57 N</h2>

Explanation:

Force is given by rate of change of momentum.

Mass of bullet = 555 g = 0.555 kg

Initial velocity = 14.9 m/s

Final velocity = -12.1 m/s - Opposite direction

Change in momentum = 0.555 x 14.9 - 0.555 x (-12.1)

Change in momentum = 14.985 kg m/s

Time taken = 0.044 s

Rate of change of momentum = Change in momentum ÷ Time

Rate of change of momentum = 14.985 ÷ 0.044

Rate of change of momentum = 340.57 N

Force = 340.57 N

The magnitude of the average force acting on the ball during the collision is 340.57 N

A car travels at 12 m/s. The car then accelerates at 3 m/s2 until it reaches a speed of 18m/s.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

С. 30 m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity, U = 12m/s

Final velocity, V = 18m/s

Acceleration, a = 3m/s²

To find the distance, we would use the third equation of motion;

V ² = U² + 2aS

Substituting into the equation, we have

18² = 12² + 2*3*S

324 = 144 + 6S

6S = 324 - 144

6S = 180

S = 180/6

Distance, S = 30 meters.
