A barometer is a scientific instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure, also called barometric pressure. The atmosphere is the layers of air wrapped around the Earth. That air has a weight and presses against everything it touches as gravity pulls it to Earth. Barometers measure this pressure.

What is the speed of an object after falling (from rest) a distance of 9.80 meters near the surface of the Earth? Assume air

madam [21]

Hi there!

We can use the kinematic equation:

$v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2ad$

vf = Final velocity (? m/s)

vi = initial velocity (0 m/s, dropped from rest)

a = acceleration (due to gravity, 9.8 m/s²)

d = distance (9.8 m)

Simplify the equation to solve for vf:

$v_f^2 = 0 + 2ad\\\\v_f = \sqrt{2ad}$

Substitute in the given values:

$v_f = \sqrt{2(9.8)(9.8)} = \boxed{13.86 m/s}$

Air escaping out from an air hose at a gas station always feels cool. Why?

kati45 [8]

Answer:

The air is contained at a high pressure in the tube. When it escapes from a small orifice, it suddenly expands. A large amount of its heat is absorbed in the process of expansion resulting in considerable fall in its temperature. This is why the escaping air feels cold.

A girl throws a marshmallow that lands in her friend’s mouth 2 m away. The girl threw the marshmallow at an angle of 30 degrees.

natima [27]

She threw the marshmallow at a speed of around 4.76 m/s.The formula for the horizontal range gives the velocity.

<h3>What is projectile motion?</h3>

The motion of an item hurled or projected into the air, subject only to gravity's acceleration, is known as projectile motion.

The item is known as a projectile, and the course it takes is known as a trajectory. Falling object motion is a simple one-dimensional kind of projectile motion with no horizontal movement.

Given data;

The marshmallow was thrown at a distance of 2 meters

Range,R = 3 m

Initial velocity,u

The angle at which the marshmallow was thrown,θ = 30°

The acceleration due to gravity,g = 9.81 m/s²

The projectile's motion is divided into two parts: horizontal and vertical motion.

$\rm R = \frac{u^2sin2 \theta }{g} \\\\ \rm R = \frac{u^2sin2 \times (30) }{9.81} \\\\ u^2=\frac{2 \times 9.81 }{sin 60^0} \\\\ u^2=22.66 \\\\ u=4.76 \ m/sec$
