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

d. Maintain constant velocity

Explanation:

A constant velocity leads to no acceleration.

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity with time:

  Acceleration = \frac{change in velocity}{time taken}

If there is no change in velocity i.e constant velocity.

At constant velocity, the change in velocity is 0.

 If we put zero in the equation above, we will obtain an acceleration value of 0.

The magnitude of Earth’s magnetic field is about 0.5 gauss near Earth’s surface. What’s the maximum possible magnetic force on a
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

F = 1.5 \times 10^{-16} N

this force is 1.68 \times 10^{13} times more than the gravitational force

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy of the electron is given as

KE = 1 keV

KE = 1 \times 10^3 (1.6 \times 10^{-19}) J

KE = 1.6 \times 10^{-16} J

now the speed of electron is given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

v = \sqrt{\frac{2 KE}{m}}

v = 1.87 \times 10^7 m/s

now the maximum force due to magnetic field is given as

F = qvB

F = (1.6\times 10^{-19})(1.87 \times 10^7)(0.5 \times 10^{-4})

F = 1.5 \times 10^{-16} N

Now if this force is compared by the gravitational force on the electron then it is

\frac{F}{F_g} = \frac{1.5 \times 10^{-16}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31} (9.8)}

\frac{F}{F_g} = 1.68 \times 10^{13}

so this force is 1.68 \times 10^{13} times more than the gravitational force

When are you most aware of your motion in a moving vehicle: when it is moving steadily in a straight line or when it is accelera
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Acceleration is percieved, not constant velocity.

Explanation:

You are most aware when the vehicle is accelerating. At constant velocity you would not be aware of the motion. Only if the system is accelerated the dynamics must be solved considering a pseudo-force (of inertial origin) acting.

It's because of this that:

(A) False. The acceleration can be detected from the inside of a closed car.

(B) False. You would be aware of the motion, but not because humans can sense speed but acceleration.

(C) False. Constant velocity cannot be felt in a closed car.

(D) False. Again, you can't feel constant speed.
