The density of mercury is 13.5 times greater than the density of water. if you were to build a barometer that used water instead

of mercury to record the standard pressure at sea level, what would be the height of that barometer? assume that the mercury barometer is 76 centimeters, or 29.92 inches, long (this is the standard atmospheric pressure at sea level).

Answer:

Height of water column 10.26 m

Explanation:

Given data;

Mercury density is 13.5 times higher than water density.

Mercury barometer 76 cm or 29.92 inches

we know that the mercury column is balanced by the pressure of air  in mercury barometer

we know also standard atmospheric is equivalent to 29.92 inches of mercury

Height of water column must be=  13.5 \times 0.76 cm  = 10.26 meter

How much power will it take to move a 10 kg mass at an acceleration of 2 m/s² a distance of 10 meters in 5 seconds?
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

100 Watts

Explanation:

<u>These equations are needed to work out the answer:</u>

  • power= work done/ time taken
  • work done= force* distance
  • force= mass* acceleration

force: 10 kg* 2m/s= 20

work done: 20* 10m=200

power: 200/2=100

To make ice, a freezer that is a reverse Carnot engine extracts 37 kJ as heat at -17°C during each cycle, with coefficient of pe
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

a) 6.4 kJ

b) 43.4 kJ

Explanation:

a)

Q_{a} = Heat absorbed = 37 kJ

β  = Coefficient of performance = 5.8

W = Work done

Heat absorbed is given as

Q_{a} = β W

37 = (5.8) W

W = 6.4 kJ

b)

Q  = work per cycle required

Q  = Q_{a} + W

Q  = 37 + 6.4

Q  = 43.4 kJ
