Glycerin is poured into an open U-shaped tube until the height in both sides is 20 cm. Ethyl alcohol is then poured into one arm

until the height of the alcohol column is 25 cm. The two liquids do not mix. What is the difference in height between the top surface of glycerin and the top surface of alcohol?

Answer:

0.043 m

Explanation:

From the attachment, the shaded part is the ethyl alcohol. The crossed part on the other hand, is that of glycerin.

The height of the Ethyl Alcohol is h2 = 0.25 m, it's density is ρ2 = 790 kg/m³. The density of glycerin is ρ1 = 1260 kg/m³

If we assume pressure at the two points to be the same, then

P1 = P2

ρ1.g.V1 = ρ2.g.V2

ρ1.A.h1 = ρ2.A.h2

ρ1.h1 = ρ2.h2, making h1 subject of formula

h1 = ρ2.h2 / ρ1, so that

h1 = 790 * 0.25 / 1260

h1 = 197.5 / 1260

h1 = 0.157 m

Δh = 0.2 - 0.157

Δh = 0.043 m or 4.3 cm

As more and more resistors are added in parallel to a circuit, the equivalent resistance of the circuit ____________ (increases,
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Decreases, Increases

Explanation:

Resistance is parallel can be calculated using

1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +....

Then, as more resistor is added in parallel the equivalent resistance is reduced.  

Let use a simple sample

Let all the resistor have equal resistances

Let say R = R1 = R2 = R3 =...Rn

Then, 1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +....

1/Req = 1/R + 1/R + 1/R +.... 1/Rn

Req = R/n

Check attachment on how I got that.

This implies that, the equivalent resistance will always be less than the original resistance, since n>1

So, as n increases (I.e. as the number of resistance increases), the equivalent resistance reduces.

B. Now, to know if the current reduces or increases

Using Ohms law

V = iR

Then, I = V/R

So, let assume the voltage is constant, then, the current is inversely proportional to the resistance, so as we know that the resistance is reducing, then the current will be increasing.

So current increase as we add more resistor in parallel to a circuit

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

If the mass of B is m and the temperature change is the same, the mass of B will be 2m.

Explanation:

Q = mcT

T = mc/Q

M = 4Q/2cT........... (1)

T = Q/mc

Plug this in equation 1.

M = 4Q/(2c × Q/mc)  = 4Q ÷ 2Q/m  = 4Q × m/2Q = 2m
