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.

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The wavelength of the radiation absorbed by ozone is 319.83 nm

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of absorbed ultraviolet (UV) radiation, f = 9.38×10¹⁴ Hz

speed of the absorbed ultraviolet (UV) radiation, equals speed of light, v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

wavelength of the absorbed ultraviolet (UV) radiation, λ = ?

Apply wave equation for speed, frequency and wavelength;

v = fλ

λ = v / f

λ = (3 x 10⁸) / (9.38×10¹⁴)

λ = 3.1983 x 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 319.83 x  10⁻⁹ m

λ = 319.83 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of the radiation absorbed by ozone is 319.83 nm

An aluminum bar 600mm long, with diameter 40mm long has a hole drilled in the center of the bar.The hole is 30mm in diameter and
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Total contraction on the Bar  = 1.22786 mm

Explanation:

Given that:

Total Length for aluminum bar = 600 mm  

Diameter for aluminum bar  = 40 mm

Hole diameter  = 30 mm

Hole length = 100 mm

elasticity for the aluminum is 85GN/m² = 85 × 10³ N/mm²

compressive load P = 180 KN = 180  × 10³ N

Calculate the total contraction on the bar = ???

The relation used in  calculating the contraction on the bar is:

\delta L = \dfrac{P *L }{A*E}

The relation used in  calculating the total contraction on the bar can be expressed as :

Total contraction in the Bar = (contraction in part of bar without hole + contraction in part of bar with hole)

i.e

Total contraction on the Bar = \dfrac{P *L_1 }{A_1*E} +  \dfrac{P *L_2 }{A_2 *E}

Let's find the area of cross section without the hole and with the hole

Area of cross section without the hole is :

Using A = πd²/4

A = π (40)²/4

A = 1256.64 mm²

Area of cross section with the hole is :

A = π (40²-30²)/4

A = 549.78 mm²

Total contraction on the Bar = \dfrac{P *L_1 }{A_1*E} +  \dfrac{P *L_2 }{A_2 *E}

Total contraction on the Bar  = \dfrac{180 *10^3 \N  }{85*10^3 \ N/mm^2} [\dfrac{500}{1256.64}+ \dfrac{100}{549.78}]

Total contraction on the Bar  = 2.117( 0.398 + 0.182)

Total contraction on the Bar  = 2.117*(0.58)

Total contraction on the Bar  = 1.22786 mm

deff fn [24]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Absolute zero

Explanation:

A Bose-Einstein condensate is known as the fifth state of matter which is made of a collection of ultra cooled atoms (at almost absolute zero degrees -273.15 °C) such that the there is very slight free energy within the atoms which results in almost no relative motion between the atoms. The atoms then combine forming clumps such that phenomena usually observed at the microscopic level such as wavefunction interference become observable at the microscopic level.
