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

A ball is dropped from the top of a building.After 2 seconds, it’s velocity is measured to be 19.6 m/s. Calculate the accelerati
zlopas [31]

Answer:

acceleration, a = 9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

'A ball is dropped from the top of a building' indicates that the initial velocity of the ball is zero.

u = 0 m/s

After 2 seconds, velocity of the ball is 19.6 m/s.

t = 2s, v = 19.6 m/s

Using

v = u + at

19.6 = 0 + 2a

a = 9.8 m/s²

Linda is a forensic scientist arriving at the crime scene. What must she do before she can examine the crime scene?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

In the more scientific viewpoint, the most important thing that she must do is caring for her hygiene and put some plastic gloves in her hands.

This is because there are lots of particles that can be retained in the hands (dust, skin, etc), and when examining the scene, she may drop some of these particles, "contaminating" the scene in this way with information that only will affect the investigation.

So the most important thing is being prepared to not affect anything in the crime scene

An open organ pipe of length 0.47328 m and another pipe closed at one end of length 0.702821 m are sounded together. What beat f
sineoko [7]

Answer:

fb = 240.35 Hz

Explanation:

In order to calculate the beat frequency generated by the first modes of each, organ and tube, you use the following formulas for the fundamental frequencies.

Open tube:

f=\frac{v_s}{2L}         (1)

vs: speed of sound = 343m/s

L: length of the open tube = 0.47328m

You replace in the equation (1):

f=\frac{343m/s}{2(0.47228m)}=362.36Hz      

Closed tube:

f'=\frac{v_s}{4L'}

L': length of the closed tube = 0.702821m

f'=\frac{343m/s}{4(0.702821m)}=122.00Hz

Next, you use the following formula for the beat frequency:

f_b=|f-f'|=|362.36Hz-122.00Hz|=240.35Hz

The beat frequency generated by the first overtone pf the closed pipe and the fundamental of the open pipe is 240.35Hz

A 975-kg sports car (including driver) crosses the rounded top of a hill at determine (a) the normal force exerted by the road o
iVinArrow [24]
There are missing data in the text of the problem (found them on internet):
- speed of the car at the top of the hill: v=15 m/s
- radius of the hill: r=100 m

Solution:

(a) The car is moving by circular motion. There are two forces acting on the car: the weight of the car W=mg (downwards) and the normal force N exerted by the road (upwards). The resultant of these two forces is equal to the centripetal force, m \frac{v^2}{r}, so we can write:
mg-N=m \frac{v^2}{r} (1)
By rearranging the equation and substituting the numbers, we find N:
N=mg-m \frac{v^2}{r}=(975 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)-(975 kg) \frac{(15 m/s)^2}{100 m}=7371 N

(b) The problem is exactly identical to step (a), but this time we have to use the mass of the driver instead of the mass of the car. Therefore, we find:
N=mg-m \frac{v^2}{r}=(62 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)-(62 kg) \frac{(15 m/s)^2}{100 m}=469 N

(c) To find the car speed at which the normal force is zero, we can just require N=0 in eq.(1). and the equation becomes:
mg=m \frac{v^2}{r}
from which we find
v= \sqrt{gr}= \sqrt{(9.81 m/s^2)(100 m)}=31.3 m/s
