Which of the following plays a major role in creating surface currents?

Blood pressure is usually measured by wrapping a closed air-filled jacket equipped with a pressure gage around the upper arm of

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

a) High and low pressures are 15.999 kilopascals and 10.666 kilopascals, respectively.

b) High and low pressures are 2.320 pounds per square inch and 1.547 pounds persquare inch, respectively.

c) High and low pressures are 1.632 meters water column and 1.088 meters water column, respectively.

Explanation:

a) High and low pressures in kilopascals:

101.325 kPa equals 760 mm Hg, then, we can obtain the values by a single conversion:

$p_{high} = 120\,mm\,Hg\times \frac{101.325\,kPa}{760\,mm\,Hg}$

$p_{high} = 15.999\,kPa$

$p_{low} = 80\,mm\,Hg\times \frac{101.325\,kPa}{760\,mm\,Hg}$

$p_{low} = 10.666\,kPa$

High and low pressures are 15.999 kilopascals and 10.666 kilopascals, respectively.

b) High and low pressures in pounds per square inch:

14.696 psi equals 760 mm Hg, then, we can obtain the values by a single conversion:

$p_{high} = 120\,mm\,Hg\times \frac{14.696\,psi}{760\,mm\,Hg}$

$p_{high} = 2.320\,psi$

$p_{low} = 80\,mm\,Hg\times\frac{14.696\,psi}{760\,mm\,Hg}$

$p_{low} = 1.547\,psi$

High and low pressures are 2.320 pounds per square inch and 1.547 pounds persquare inch, respectively.

c) High and low pressures in meter water column in meters water column:

We can calculate the equivalent water column of a mercury column by the following relation:

$\frac{h_{w}}{h_{Hg}} = \frac{\rho_{Hg}}{\rho_{w}}$

$h_{w} = \frac{\rho_{Hg}}{\rho_{w}}\times h_{Hg}$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$\rho_{w}$ , $\rho_{Hg}$ - Densities of water and mercury, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$h_{w}$ , $h_{Hg}$ - Heights of water and mercury columns, measured in meters.

If we know that $\rho_{w} = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $\rho_{Hg} = 13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $h_{Hg, high} = 0.120\,m$ and $h_{Hg, low} = 0.080\,m$ , then we get that:

$h_{w, high} = \frac{13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} }{1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} } \times 0.120\,m$

$h_{w, high} = 1.632\,m$

$h_{w, low} = \frac{13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} }{1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} } \times 0.080\,m$

$h_{w, low} = 1.088\,m$

High and low pressures are 1.632 meters water column and 1.088 meters water column, respectively.

A sample of Bismuth-212 has a mass of 2.64 grams (g) after 121 seconds (s). What was the initial mass of the sample if Bismuth-2

uysha [10]

The mass of a radioactive element at time t is given by
$m(t) = m_0 ( \frac{1}{2} )^{ \frac{t}{t_{1/2}} }$
where $m_0$ is the mass at time zero, while $t_{1/2}$ is the half-life of the element.

In our problem, $m(t)=2.64 g$ , t=121.0 s and $t_{1/2}=60.5 s$ , so we can find the initial mass $m_0$ :
$m_0= \frac{m(t)}{ (\frac{1}{2})^{t/t_{1/2}} } = \frac{2.64 g}{( \frac{1}{2} )^{121/60.5}} =4 \cdot 2.64 g=10.56 g$

Jill is pushing a box across the floor. Which represents the upward force perpendicular to the floor?

Georgia [21]

Answer:

When Jill is pushing a box across a floor, it represents the upward motion and it is natural force is applied.

So it is represented as FN and normal force takes place in considering the force perpendicular to the floor.

It seems to support that forced applied on an object when the object is in contact with other.

Si tenemos tres cubos del mismo tamaño (hierro, madera e icopor). ¿Qué diferencias puede encontrar entre ellos?

cricket20 [7]

Answer: La diferencia es el peso (o la masa), siendo que el cubo de hierro es el mas pesado, después viene el de madera y después el de icopor.

Explanation:

Ok, los 3 cubos tienen el mismo tamaño, lo que implica que tienen el mismo volumen.

Ahora es útil recordar la relación:

Densidad = masa/volumen.

Masa = densidad*volumen.

Nosotros sabemos que la densidad del hierro es mas grande que la de la madera, y la densidad de la madera es mas grande que la del icopor.

Entonces, por la relación anterior, y sabiendo que todos los cubos tienen el mismo volumen, podemos reconocer que el cubo de hierro tiene mayor masa, después viene el de madera y después viene el de icopor.

Y sabiendo que:

masa*gravedad = peso

podemos saber que el cubo mas pesado es el de hierro, después el de madera y después el de icopor.

Además de esta diferencia, también hay otras que no dependen tanto del tamaño del objeto, como pueden ser las capacidades caloríficas, el como reaccionan a campos eléctricos y cosas así que son triviales, pues son diferentes para casi todos los materiales.
