The pilot of an airplane reads the altitude 6400 m and the absolute pressure 46 kPa when flying over a city. Calculate the local

atmospheric pressure in that city in kPa and in mmHg. Take the densities of air and mercury to be 0.828 kg/m3 and 13,600 kg/m3, respectively.
The local atmospheric pressure in the city in kPa is ?

The local atmospheric pressure in the city in mmHg is ?

Answer:

1. 6.672 kPa

2. 49.05 mm of mercury

Explanation:

h = 6400 m

Absolute pressure, p = 46 kPa = 46000 Pa

density of air, d = 0.823 kg/m^3

density of mercury, D = 13600 kg/m^3

(a) Absolute pressure = Atmospheric pressure + pressure due to height

46000 = Atmospheric pressure + h x d x g

Atmospheric pressure = 46000 - 6400 x 0.823 x 10 = 6672 Pa = 6.672 kPa

(b) To convert the pressure into mercury pressure

Atmospheric pressure = H x D x g

Where, H is the height of mercury, D be the density of mercury, g be the acceleration due to gravity

6672 = H x 13600 x 10

H = 0.04905 m

H = 49.05 mm of mercury

Katarina [22]

Answer:v=41.23 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of heavy object $m_1=52 kg$

distance of $m_1$ from the axle $r_1=14 cm$

mass of rock $m_2=123 gm$

Length of rod $=4.1 m$

distance of $m_2$ from axle $r_2=4.1-0.14=3.96 m$

Net torque acting is

$T_{net}=m_1gr_1-m_2gr_2$

$T_{net}=52\times 0.14\times g-0.123\times 3.96\times g$

$T_{net}=6.793\times 9.8$

$T_{net}=66.57 N-m$

Work done by $T_{net}$ is converted to rock kinetic Energy

thus

$T_{net}\times \theta =\frac{mv^2}{2}$

Where $\theta =angle\ turned =\frac{\pi }{2}$

$v= velocity\ at\ launch$

$66.57\times \frac{\pi }{2}=\frac{0.123\times v^2}{2}$

$v^2=66.57\times \pi$

$v=\sqrt{1700.511}$

$v=41.23 m/s$

Answer:

E = 12640.78 N/C

Explanation:

In order to calculate the electric field you can use the Gaussian theorem.

Thus, you have:

$\Phi_E=\frac{Q}{\epsilon_o}$

ФE: electric flux trough the Gaussian surface

Q: net charge inside the Gaussian surface

εo: dielectric permittivity of vacuum = 8.85*10^-12 C^2/Nm^2

If you take the Gaussian surface as a spherical surface, with radius r, the electric field is parallel to the surface anywhere. Then, you have:

$\Phi_E=EA=E(4\pi r^2)=\frac{Q}{\epsilon_o}\\\\E=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_o r^2}$

r can be taken as the distance in which you want to calculate the electric field, that is, 0.795m

Next, you replace the values of the parameters in the last expression, by taking into account that the net charge inside the Gaussian surface is:

$Q=7.53*10^{-6}C+3.65*10^{-6}C=1.115*10^{-5}C$

Finally, you obtain for E:

$E=\frac{1.118*10^{-5}C}{4\pi (8.85*10^{-12C^2/Nm^2})(0.795m)^2}=12640.78\frac{N}{C}$

hence, the electric field at 0.795m from the center of the spherical shell is 12640.78 N/C

A proton travels with a speed of 5.02×10⁶ m/s in a direction that makes an angle of 60.0° with the direction of a magnetic ficld

lesantik [10]

Answer: The magnitude of the proton's acceleration is 0.748 ×10^14 m/s²

Explanation:
the velocity ,v, of ththe proton = 5.02×10^6 m/s
Magnitude , B , of the magnetic field = 0.180 T

First , we need to find the magnitude of the Force on the proton. This is given by the relation :
F = q(v x B) = qvBsinθ

where 'q' is the charge of proton , q= 1.6×10^-19 C
θ is the angle the proton makes with the direction of the magnetic field

Putting the respective values of v, B ,θ in the above equation, we get:

F = (1.6×10^-19 C)(5.02×10^6 m/s)(0.180T) sin60°
∴ F = 1.25 ×10^-13 N

Now , from Newton's second law we know that ,
F=m×a

∴ a = F/m

Mass of a proton = 1.67×10^27 kg
a= 1.25 × 10^-13 N / 1.67 × 10^27 kg

a= 0.748 × 10^14 m/s² =acceleration of the proton
