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 ?

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

Which statement is true? A. A resistor alters current and a switch turns current on and off B. A resistor measures voltage, and
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

A. A resistor alters current and a switch turns current on and off

Explanation:

Resistor is the passive component that reduces the flow of current. Switch is the electrical device that turns on or off the current by closing and opening the electrical circuit.

Thus option A. A resistor alters current and a switch turns current on and off  is correct.

Explain how oxygen is obtained by most complex organisms and then used during cellular respiration.(Please help quick)​
lisov135 [29]

Answer:complex

Brainly.com

Question

Discuss the importance of oxygen to all living organisms, and describe how three different organisms—human, flatworm, and fern—obtain the oxygen they need.

Answer · 38 votes

(Question 1):Oxygen is the key for generating energy in cellular respiration. The cellular respiration is a complex biological process that breaks down sugars, fat and proteins and transforms these materials into energy for the functioning of the organism. Oxygen is needed at the end of this process, when electrons liberated in the respiration are transported through the inner membranes of the cells, and the oxygen "attracts" these electrons (like bees to honey) and makes possible the production of great quantities of chemical energy in the said membranes.(Question 2):Earth's natural bodies of water have a low oxygen concentration--much lower than the level of oxygen in air at the earth's surface. Smaller organisms can obtain sufficient oxygen through the skin (e.g. flatworms), but larger organisms require special structures to collect enough oxygen to sustain life. This oxygen comes from molecules of oxygen gas dissolved in the water. The oxygen atom present in the water molecule is n…
