Answer:

the action of polarizing or state of being or becoming polarized: such as the action or process of affecting radiation and especially light so that the vibrations of the wave assume a definite form. Polarization, in Physics, is defined as a phenomenon caused due to the wave nature of electromagnetic radiation. There are two types of waves, transverse waves, and longitudinal waves.

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 mass is tied to a string and swung in a horizontal circle with a constant angular speed. show answer No Attempt If this speed

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The tension in the string is quadrupled i.e. increased by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

The tension in the string is the centripetal force. This force is given by

$F = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

m is the mass, v is the velocity and r is the radius.

It follows that $F \propto v^2$ , provided m and r are constant.

When v is doubled, the new force, $F_1$ , is

$F_1 = \dfrac{m(2v)^2}{r} = \dfrac{4mv^2}{r} = 4\dfrac{mv^2}{r} = 4F$

Hence, the tension in the string is quadrupled.

A U-shaped tube open to the air at both ends contains some mercury. A quantity of water is carefully poured into the left arm of

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

a) $P=2450\ Pa$

b) $\delta h=23.162\ cm$

Explanation:

Given:

height of water in one arm of the u-tube, $h_w=25\ cm=0.25\ m$

Gauge pressure at the water-mercury interface,:

$P=\rho_w.g.h_w$

we've the density of the water $=1000\ kg.m^{-3}$

$P=1000\times 9.8\times 0.25$

$P=2450\ Pa$

Now the same pressure is balanced by the mercury column in the other arm of the tube:

$\rho_w.g.h_w=\rho_m.g.h_m$

$1000\times 9.8\times 0.25=13600\times 9.8\times h_m$

$h_m=0.01838\ m=1.838\ cm$

Now the difference in the column is :

$\delta h=h_w-h_m$

$\delta h=25-1.838$

$\delta h=23.162\ cm$

What determines magnetism?

adelina 88 [10]

The magnetic form of a substance can be determined by examining its electron configuration: if it shows unpaired electrons, then the substance is paramagnetic; if all electrons are paired, the substance is diamagnetic.
