Atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the atmosphere pushing down on itself and on the surface below it.
Pressure is defined as the force acting on an object divided by the area upon witch the force is acting.

diamong [38]
So base on your question that as if the vapors volume were to incorrectly recorded as 125ml, the effect of the error to calculate the molar mass is the same as the error in measuring the volume of the vapor. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more

A skydiver falls toward the ground at a constant velocity. Which statement best applies Newton’s laws of motion to explain the s
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The answer is (a.) An upward force balances the downward force gravity on the skydiver

The skydiver is falling at a constant velocity because the upward force is balancing the downward force of gravity. According to Newton, the opposite force balance each other. This is stated in Newton's second law of motion.

How can you prove the mechanical nature of sound by a simple experiment
Kruka [31]

Answer:

That is, mechanical waves cannot travel through a vacuum. This feature of mechanical waves is often demonstrated in a Physics class. A ringing bell is placed in a jar and air inside the jar is evacuated. Once air is removed from the jar, the sound of the ringing bell can no longer be heard.

A ball is thrown vertically upward, which is the positive direction. A little later, it returns to its point of release. The bal
Aleks [24]

Answer:

The initial velocity of the ball is <u>39.2 m/s in the upward direction.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

Upward direction is positive. So, downward direction is negative.

Tota time the ball remains in air (t) = 8.0 s

Net displacement of the ball (S) = Final position - Initial position = 0 m

Acceleration of the ball is due to gravity. So, a=g=-9.8\ m/s^2(Acting down)

Now, let the initial velocity be 'u' m/s.

From Newton's equation of motion, we have:

S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

Plug in the given values and solve for 'u'. This gives,

0=8u-0.5\times 9.8\times 8^2\\\\8u=4.9\times 64\\\\u=\frac{4.9\times 64}{8}\\\\u=4.9\times 8=39.2\ m/s

Therefore, the initial velocity of the ball is 39.2 m/s in the upward direction.
