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.

Doss [256]

Answer:

4.6×10^-7 m or 0.46nm

Explanation:

From

Wo= hc/λ

Where:

Wo= work function of the metal

h= planks constant

c= speed of light

λ= wavelength

λ= hc/Wo

λ= 6.6×10^-34 × 3×10^8/4.30×10^-19

λ= 4.6×10^-7 m

A pirate fires his cannon parallel to the water but 3.5 m above the water. The cannonball leaves the cannon with a velocity of 1
Bumek [7]

Answer:

202.8m

Explanation:

Given that A pirate fires his cannon parallel to the water but 3.5 m above the water. The cannonball leaves the cannon with a velocity of 120 m/s. He misses his target and the cannonball splashes into the briny deep.

First calculate the total time travelled by using the second equation of motion

h = Ut + 1/2gt^2

Let assume that u = 0

And h = 3.5

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

3.5 = 1/2 × 9.8 × t^2

3.5 = 4.9t^2

t^2 = 3.5/4.9

t^2 = 0.7

t = 0.845s

To know how far the cannonball travel, let's use the equation

S = UT + 1/2at^2

But acceleration a = 0

T = 2t

T = 1.69s

S = 120 × 1.69

S = 202.834 m

Therefore, the distance travelled by the cannon ball is approximately 202.8m.

S Suppose you wish to fabricate a uniform wire from a mass m of a metal with density rhom and resistivity rho. If the wire is to
Gre4nikov [31]

By calculation, the diameter of the wire  is 2.8 * 10^-3 m.

<h3>How do we obtain the length?</h3>

The following data are given in the question;

Mass of the wire = 1.0 g or 1 * 10^-3 Kg

Resistance = 0.5 ohm

Resistivity of copper = 1.7 * 10^-8 ohm meter

Density of copper = 8.92 * 10^3 Kg/m^3

V = m/d

But v = Al

Al = m/d

A = m/ld

Resistance = ρl/A

= ρl/m/ld =

l^2 = Rm/ρd

l = √ Rm/ρd

l = √0.5 * 1 * 10^-3 / 1.7 * 10^-8 * 8.92 * 10^3

l = 1.82 m

A = πr^2

Also;

A = m/ld

A = 1 * 10^-3 Kg / 1.82 m * 8.92 * 10^3 Kg/m^3

Area of the wire = 6.2 * 10^-5 m^2

r^2 = A/ π

r = √A/ π

r = √6.2 * 10^-5 m^2/3.142

r = 1.4 * 10^-3 m

Diameter = 2r = 2( 1.4 * 10^-3 m) = 2.8 * 10^-3 m
