<u>Answer</u>

Gravitational force

<u>Explanation</u>

Gravitational force is the force of attraction between two bodies of a given masses. It is calculated as follows:

Gravitational force = GM₁M₂/r²

From the formula it can be seen that gravitational force is inversely proportional to the r where are is the distance between the two bodies.

When the distance increases the gravitational force decreases.

The barometric pressure at sea level is 30 in of mercury when that on a mountain top is 29 in. If the specific weight of air is

stealth61 [152]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to pressure, depending on the product between the density of the fluid, the gravity and the depth / height at which it is located.

For mercury, density, gravity and height are defined as

$\rho_m = 846lb/ft^3$

$g = 32.17405ft/s^2$

$h_1 = 1in = \frac{1}{12} ft$

For the air the defined properties would be

$\rho_a = 0.0075lb/ft^3$

$g = 32.17405ft/s^2$

$h_2 = ?$

We have for equilibrium that

$\text{Pressure change in Air}=\text{Pressure change in Mercury}$

$\rho_m g h_1 = \rho_a g h_2$

Replacing,

$(846)(32.17405)(\frac{1}{12}) = (0.0075)(32.17405)(h_2)$

Rearranging to find $h_2$

$h_2 = \frac{(846)(32.17405)(\frac{1}{12}) }{(0.0075)(32.17405)}$

$h = 9400ft$

Therefore the elevation of the mountain top is 9400ft

What is the rate of acceleration due to gravity on Earth?

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Negative 9.8 meters per second squared

Explanation:

The negative is for the direction (down, towards the center of the earth). Often this can be estimated as -10 m/s^2 to make calculations easier.

How much potassium nitrate, KNO3, would completely dissolve in 100g of water at 40℃?

const2013 [10]

Ok I know this from other stuff potassium nitrate would completely dissolve in a 100 g on was at 30 c would be 60 but this is 40 so I’m not really sure and I don’t what to ok give you a bad grade but if I had to guess I would go with 65 grams

A mover uses a ramp to load a crate of nails onto a truck. The crate, which must be lifted 1.5 m from the street to the bed of t

jonny [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the efficiency formula. Efficiency = MA/VR * 100%

MA = Mechanical Advantage

VR = velocity ratio = $\frac{distance\ moved\ by\ effort}{distance\ moved\ by\ load}$

Distance moved by effort = 4.5m

distance moved by load = 1.5m

VR = 4.5/1.5 =3

Assuming efficiency is 100% (since friction can be ignored)

100% = MA/3 * 100%

1 = MA/3

MA = 3*1

MA = 3

Mechanical Advantage of the ramp is 3
