In laboratorio, versi in un tubo a U acqua da una estremità e olio dall'altra. Le densità dell'olio e dell'acqua sono, rispettiv

amente, 890 kg/m^3 e 1010 kg/m^3. L'altezza della colonna d'acqua è 18 cm. ▶ A che altezza arriva l'olio nell'altro ramo del tubo? ▶ Quanto vale la differenza fra i livelli superiori dell'acqua e dell'olio nei due rami?

Answer:

20.4 cm; 2.4 cm  

Explanation:

The formula for the pressure p exerted by a column of a liquid with density ρ and height h is

p = ρgh

where h = the acceleration due to gravity

If you have two liquids balancing each other in a U-tube

     p₁ = p₂

ρ₁gh₁ = ρ₂gh₂

 ρ₁h₁ = ρ₂h₂

Data:

ρ₁ = 1010 kg/m³; h₁ = 18 cm

ρ₂ = 890 kg/m³; h₂ = ?          

1. Height of oil column

We measure from the horizontal red line.

\begin{array}{rcl}\rho_{1}h_{1} & = &\rho_{2}h_{2}\\\text{1010 kg/m}^{3} \times \text{18 cm} & = & \text{890 kg/m}^{3} \times h_{2}\\\text{18 180 cm} & = & 890h_{2}\\h_{2} & = & \dfrac{\text{18180 cm}}{890}\\\\ & = & \text{20.4 cm}\\\end{array}\\ \text{The height of the oil column is $\textbf{20.4 cm}$}

2. Height of oil above water

h₂ - h₁ = 20.4 cm – 18 cm = 2.4 cm

How large a force is necessary to stretch a 4.0-mm-diameter steel wire from its original length by 1.0%?
jekas [21]

The force needed to stretch the steel wire by 1% is 25,140 N.

The given parameters include;

  • diameter of the steel, d = 4 mm
  • the radius of the wire, r = 2mm = 0.002 m
  • original length of the wire, L₁
  • final length of the wire, L₂ = 1.01 x L₁ (increase of 1% = 101%)
  • extension of the wire e = L₂ - L₁ = 1.01L₁ - L₁ = 0.01L₁
  • the Youngs modulus of steel, E = 200 Gpa

The area of the steel wire is calculated as follows;

A = \pi r^2\\\\ A= 3.142 \times (0.002)^2\\\\ A= 1.257 \times 10^{-5} \ m^2

The force needed to stretch the wire is calculated from Youngs modulus of elasticity given as;

E = \frac{stress}{strain} = \frac{F/A}{e/L} = \frac{FL}{Ae} \\\\F = \frac{EAe}{L}

F = \frac{200 \times 10^9\  \times\  1.257\times 10^{-5}\  \times \ 0.01l_1}{l_1} \\\\F = 25,140\ N

Thus, the force needed to stretch the steel wire by 1% is 25,140 N.

2. A brick is sitting on a building 22 m high. It has a mass of 7.9 kg. What amount of potential
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

1703.24J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of brick  = 7.9kg

Height of building  = 22m

Unknown:

Potential energy of the brick  = ?

Solution:

The potential energy of a body is the energy at rest of the body. Mathematically;

 

         P.E = mgh

m is the mass of the brick

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the building

  Insert the given parameters and solve;

        P.E  = 7.9 x 9.8 x 22  = 1703.24J

How do matter and energy interact to produce weather patterns
nadezda [96]
Weather is caused by different levels of humidity and the difference in the temperature of air which causes wind patterns. Energy from the sun evaporates the water on land. Air also heats up which brings up the water vapor to the atmosphere. This increases the humidity and the chance of rain. When hot is found near the land, this will create a high pressure which will prevent the formation of clouds and produce a fair weather.

If a series circuit contains a 12-V battery, a 6-ohm resistor, and a 4-ohm resistor, what is the current in the circuit?
Shalnov [3]

In a series circuit the total current is the same throughout resistors and so:

I_{total}=I_1=I_2

The voltage is distributed throughout the resistors and so:

V_{total}=V_1+V_2

and the total resistance can be calculated by adding up the resistors resistance:

R_{total}=R_1+R_2

First thing is to calculate the total resistance and so:

R_{total}=6\Omega + 4\Omega = 10\Omega

And by Omh's law V=IR we have:

V_{total}=I_{total}R_{total}\\\\I_{total}=\frac{V_{total}}{R_{total}}= \frac{12V}{10\Omega} =1.2A

And so the total current of the circuit is 1.2 amps i.e. 1.2 A.
