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

Why echo sound cannot be heard in small room
Art [367]
They can't hear an echo in small room because in it the sound can't be reflected back. For an echo of a sound to be heard,the minimum distance between the source of sound and the walls of the roomshould be 17.2 m. Obviously,in asmall room echoes cannot beheard.

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :)
Luden [163]

Answer:

The ball will be attracted to the negatively charged plate. It'll touch and pick up some electrons from the plate so that the ball becomes negatively charged. Immediately the ball is repelled by the negative plate and is attracted to the positive plate. The ball gives up electrons to the positive plate so that it is positively charged and suddenly attracts to the negative plate again, flies over to it and picks up enough electrons to be repulsed by negative plate and again to the positive plate and that continues.

The force between two charged bodies is called ______________.
stepladder [879]

The Coulomb force between two or more charged bodies is the force between them due to Coulomb's law. If the particles are both positively or negatively charged, the force is repulsive; if they are of opposite charge, it is attractive. ... Like the gravitational force, the Coulomb force is an inverse square law.

Consider a concave spherical mirr or that has focal length f = +19.5 cm.
lidiya [134]

The distance of an object from the mirror's vertex if the image is real and has the same height as the object is 39 cm.

<h3>What is concave mirror?</h3>

A concave mirror has a reflective surface that is curved inward and away from the light source.

Concave mirrors reflect light inward to one focal point and it usually form real and virtual images.

<h3>Object distance of the concave mirror</h3>

Apply mirrors formula as shown below;

1/f = 1/v + 1/u

where;

  • f is the focal length of the mirror
  • v is the object distance
  • u is the image distance

when image height = object height, magnification = 1

u/v = 1

v = u

Substitute the given parameters and solve for the distance of the object from the mirror's vertex

1/f = 1/v + 1/v

1/f = 2/v

v = 2f

v = 2(19.5 cm)

v = 39 cm

Thus, the distance of an object from the mirror's vertex if the image is real and has the same height as the object is 39 cm.
