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

On Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is (-9.8 meters per second) per second.

If the school, the roof, and the pencil are on Earth,
then after 3 seconds, the pencil's speed is

[ (-9.8 meters per second)/second ] times [ 3seconds ] = <u>-29.4 meters per second </u>

A 3-kg object is attached to a spring and moving in simple harmonic motion. Its angular frequency is 20 rads/sec. When the mass-
Trava [24]

Answer:19.5 J

Explanation:

Given

mass of block=3 kg

angular frequency=20 rad/sec

spring constant k=\omega _n^2m=1200 N/m

we know total energy remain conserved

E_T at x=0.1 m

E_T=E_P+E_K

Where E_K=kinetic energy

E_P=potential Energy

E_P=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

E_P=600\times 0.01=6 J

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

E_K=\frac{1}{2}\times 3\times 3^2=13.5 J

E_T=13.5+6=19.5 J

When mass reaches amplitude its velocity becomes zero

there is only potential energy which is equal to Total energy

E_T=E_P=19.5 J

During light activity, a 70-kg person may generate 200 kcal
Lerok [7]

Answer:

2.75387\ ^{\circ}

Explanation:

m = Mass of person = 70 kg

c = Specific heat of human body = 0.83\ J/kg^{\circ}C

\Delta T = Change in temperature

Time taken is 1 hour

Heat is given by

Q=mc\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\dfrac{Q}{mc}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\dfrac{0.8\times 200\times 1}{70\times 0.83}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=2.75387\ ^{\circ}C

The rise in temperature is 2.75387\ ^{\circ}C
