The basic barometer can be used to measure the height of a building. If the barometric readings at the top and the bottom of a b

uikding are 730 and 755 mmHg, respectively, determine the height of the building. Assume an average air density of 1.25 kg/m^3. Provide with a simple sketch and graph it (hydrostatic pressure).

Answer:

h = 269.6 m

Explanation:

Pressure at the bottom of the building and at the top of the building must be related as

P_{top} = P_{bottom} - \rho g h

P_{top} = 730 mm Hg

P_{bottom} = 755 mm Hg

now we will have

(755 \times 10^{-3})(13.6 \times 10^3)(9.81) = P_{bottom}

P_{bottom} = 1.007 \times 10^5 Pa

P_{top} = (730\times 10^{-3})(13.6 \times 10^3)(9.81)

P_{top} = 0.974 \times 10^5

now we have

(1.007 - 0.974)\times 10^5 = 1.25 (9.81) h

h = 269.6 m

The total resistance of a parallel circuit is 25 ohms. If the total current is 100mA, how much current is through a 220 ohm resi
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The current across the resistance is 0.011 A.

Explanation:

Total resistance, R = 25 ohms

Total current, I = 100 mA = 0.1 A

Let the voltage is V.

By the Ohm's law

V = I R

V = 0.1 x 25 = 2.5 V

Now the resistance is R' = 220 ohm

As they are in parallel so the voltage is same. Let the current is I'.

V = I' x R'

2.5 = I' x 220

I' = 0.011 A

If 20 beats are produced within one second, which of the following frequencies could possibly be held by two sound waves traveli
NeTakaya

Answer:

D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz

Explanation:

  • When two waves with different frequency travelling in the same medium meet each other, they produce an interference pattern called beat.
  • <em><u>The frequency of the beat produced is equivalent to </u></em><em><u>the difference between the individual frequencies of the two waves involved.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Therefore; in this case since the frequency of the beat is 20 Hz, that is from 20 beats per second.</u></em>
  • We need to find a pair from the choices whose frequency difference is 20 Hz.
  • This happens to be choice D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz,  that is 42 Hz - 22 Hz = 20 Hz

The kinetic energy of a body of mass 15 kg is 30 joule. What is its momentum?
lys-0071 [83]

This problem is a piece o' cake, IF you know the formulas for both kinetic energy and momentum.  So here they are:

Kinetic energy = (1/2) · (mass) · (speed²)

Momentum = (mass) · (speed)

So, now ... We know that

==> mass = 15 kg,  and

==> kinetic energy = 30 Joules

Take those pieces of info and pluggum into the formula for kinetic energy:

Kinetic energy = (1/2) · (mass) · (speed²)

30 Joules = (1/2) · (15 kg) · (speed²)

60 Joules = (15 kg) · (speed²)

4 m²/s² = speed²

Speed = 2 m/s

THAT's all you need !  Now you can find momentum:

Momentum = (mass) · (speed)

Momentum = (15 kg) · (2 m/s)

<em>Momentum = 30 kg·m/s</em>

<em>(Notice that in this problem, although their units are different, the magnitude of the KE is equal to the magnitude of the momentum.  When I saw this, I wondered whether that's always true.  So I did a little more work, and I found out that it isn't ... it's a coincidence that's true for this problem and some others, but it's usually not true.)</em>
