How is mercury obtained and separated from other nearby substances?

1 answer:

8 0

Mercury forms in an ore called cinnabar, it is also frequently found in small amounts in other ores.

A method for separating mercury from cinnabar is to crush the ore and then heat it in a furnace in order to vaporize the mercury.

frutty [35]

Answer:

-2.26×10^-4 radians

Explanation:

The solution involves a right angle triangle

Length is z while the horizontal is the height x

X^2+ 100^2=z^2

Taking the derivatives

2x(dx/dt)=Z^2(dz/dt)

Specific moments = Z= 200 ,X= 100sqrt3 and dx/dt= 11

dz/dt= 1100sqrt3/200 = 9.53

Sin a= 100/a

Taking derivatives in terms of t

Cos a(da/dt)=100/z^2 dz/dt

a= 30°

Cos (30°)da/dt= (-100/40000×9.5)

a= -2.26×10^-4radians

Cheetahs can accelerate to a speed of 19.6 m/s in 2.45 s and can continue to accelerate to reach a top speed of 27.6 m/s . Assum

marta [7]

Answer:

$v_{top} = 61.96 \frac{mi}{h}$

Explanation:

To express the cheetah's top speed in miles per hour, we just need to find the conversion factor.

We know that the top speed is

$v_{top} = 27.7 \frac{m}{s}$

So, we want to obtain miles from meters and hours from seconds.

<h3>miles from meters</h3>

First we write the equivalence:

$1609.34 \ m = 1 \ mi$

Now, we can divide by 1609.34 meters on both sides:

$\frac{1609.34 \ m}{ 1609.34 \ m} = \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}$

The left sides equals 1, so

$1 = \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}$

And this is our conversion factor from meters to miles. Now, we can multiply our top speed by this conversion factor, as the conversion factor equals one, and is dimensionless, the physical meaning will be the same.

$v_{top} = 27.7 \frac{m}{s} * \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}$

$v_{top} = 0.0172120 \frac{mi}{s}$

This is the top speed in miles per second, now, for obtaining miles per hour:

<h3>hours from seconds</h3>

We can do pretty much the same, first, the equivalence:

$1 \ h = 3600 \ s$

as the seconds are dividing in the velocity, we know divide by 1 hour.

$\frac{1 \ h}{ 1 \ h} = \frac{3600 \ s}{ 1 \ h}$

$1 = \frac{3600 \ s}{ 1 \ h}$

and know we just multiply our top speed by this conversion factor

$v_{top} = 0.0172120 \frac{mi}{s} \frac{3600 \ s}{ 1 \ h}$

$v_{top} = 61.96 \frac{mi}{h}$

What do you understand by upthrust Force

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

hope you like it

Explanation:

An object that is partly, or completely, submerged experiences a greater pressure on its bottom surface than on its top surface. This causes a resultant force upwards. This force is called upthrust . The upthrust force is equal in size to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

Buoyancy or upthrust, is an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an immersed object.It is the force that pushes an object up. The upthrust, or buoyancy, keeps ships afloat. The upthrust, or buoyancy, keeps swimmers on top of the water.
