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.

An object is allowed to fall freely near the surface of a planet. The object has an acceleration due to gravity of 24 m/s2. How
Alborosie

Answer:

12 m

Explanation:

The object is in uniformly accelerated motion, so the distance covered can be found using the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

For this problem,

g=24 m/s^2

and

u = 0, since we are considering the first second of motion

So, substituting t = 1 s, we find

s=0+\frac{1}{2}(24)(1)^2=12 m

Why is the law of gravity a scientific law
Yuri [45]
An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon another force.

Newton used this to prove that gravity existed. Without an unseen force, we could throw a ball and it would go on forever correct? Unless there was something to pull it down, in this case, gravity.

A fairground ride consists of a large vertical drum that spins so
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

v = 3.84 m/s

Explanation:

In order for the riders to stay pinned against the inside of the drum the frictional force on them must be equal to the centripetal force:

Centripetal\ Force = Frictional\ Force\\\\\frac{mv^2}{r} = \mu R = \mu W\\\\\frac{mv^2}{r} = \mu mg\\\\\frac{v^2}{r} = \mu g\\\\v = \sqrt{\mu gr}

where,

v = minimum speed = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

r = radius = 10 m

μ = coefficient of friction = 0.15

Therefore,

v=\sqrt{(0.15)(9.81\ m/s^2)(10\ m)}

<u>v = 3.84 m/s</u>
