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.

A particle with charge -5.60 nC is moving in a uniform magnetic field →B=−(1.25T) k The magnetic force on the particle is measur
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force = q ( v x B)

- 5.6 x 10⁻⁹ (v x - 1.25 k )

- 3.4x 10⁻⁷i + 7.4 x 10⁻⁷j

Let v = ai+bj +ck

Force = - 5.6 x 10⁻⁹ [(ai+bj +ck) x - 1.25 k )]

= - 5.6 x 10⁻⁹ ( 1.25aj - 1.25bi )

= - 7 a j + 7 b i

( 7bi - 7aj ) x 10⁻⁹

Comparing with given force

7b x 10⁻⁹ b = - 3.4 x 10⁻⁷

b = - 48.57

- 7 a x 10⁻⁹ = 7.4 x 10⁻⁷

a = - 105.7

velocity

= -105.7 i - 48.57 j + ck

b ) Component along k can not be obtained .

c ) v . F = ( -105.7 i - 48.57 j + ck ) . −(3.40×10−7N) ˆı +(7.40×10−7N) ˆȷ

= 105.7 x 3.4 x 10⁻⁷ - 48.57 x 7.4 x 10⁻⁷

= 359.38 x 10⁻⁷ - 359.38 x 10⁻⁷

=0

angle between v and F = 90 degree

Differentiate between moments and momentum​
marshall27 [118]

Answer: Momentum applies to objects in motion and is the product of mass and velocity. It is not the energy, but the variables are the same. By contrast, "moment" is an expression of the "rotational force" caused by a force acting at some distance from a fulcrum.

A given mass of air has a volume of 6.00 L at 101 kPa. At constant temperature, the pressure is decreased to 25.0 kPa. Calculate
Sidana [21]

Answer:

24.24L

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law which states that "the volume of a given mass of gas at constant temperature is inversely proportional to its pressure". Mathematically, P = k/V where;

P is the pressure

V is the volume

k is the proportionality constant

PV = k

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 and P2 are initial and final pressure respectively

V1 and V2 are the initial and final volume respectively

Given P1 = 101kPa V1 = 6.0L, P2 = 25kPa V2 = ?

From the formula;

V2 = P1V1/P2

V2 = 101×6/25

V2 = 24.24L

The final volume for the gas is 24.24L
