Device based on atmospheric pressure​

Physics
1 answer:
Svetach [21]2 years ago
8 0

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.

In this circuit (see picture), which resistor will draw the least power?
Basile [38]
A few different ways to do this: 

Way #1: 
The current in the series loop is  (12 V) / (total resistance) . 
(Turns out to be 2 Amperes, but the question isn't asking for that.)

In a series loop, the current is the same at every point, so it's
the same current through each resistor.

The power dissipated by a resistor is  (current)² · (resistance),
and the current is the same everywhere in the circuit, so the
smallest resistance will dissipate the least power.  That's  R1 .

And by the way, it's not "drawing" the most power.  It's dissipating it.

Way #2:
Another expression for the power dissipated by a resistance is

                 (voltage across the resistance)²  /  (resistance)  .

In a series loop, the voltage across each resistor is

          [ (individual resistance) / (total resistance ] x battery voltage.

So the power dissipated by each resistor is

         (individual resistance)² x [(battery voltage) / (total resistance)²]

This expression is smallest for the smallest individual resistance.
(The other two quantities are the same for each individual resistor.)
So again, the least power is dissipated by the smallest individual resistance.
That's R1 .                                      

Way #3:  (Einstein's way)
If we sat back and relaxed for a minute, stared at the ceiling, let our minds
wander, puffed gently on our pipe, and just daydreamed about this question
for a minute or two, we might have easily guessed at the answer.

===>  When you wire up a battery and a light bulb in series, the part
that dissipates power, and gets so hot that it radiates heat and light, is
the light bulb (some resistance), not the wire (very small resistance).

If my weight on Earth is 140lbs, what is my mass?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

63.57 kg

Explanation:

weight = 140 lbs

Let the mass  is m.

1 lbs = 4.45 N

The weight of an object is defined as the force with which our earth attracts the body towards its centre.

Weight is the product of mass of the body and the acceleration due to gravity of that planet.

W = m x g

On earth surface g = 9.8 m/s^2

Now convert lbs in newton

So, 140 lbs = 140 x 4.45 = 623 N

So, m x 9.8 = 623

m = 63.57 kg

Thus, the mass is 63.57 kg.
