What are the function of mercury barometer ​

Physics

Answer:

A mercury barometer is an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure in a certain location and has a vertical glass tube closed at the top sitting in an open mercury-filled basin at the bottom. Mercury in the tube adjusts until the weight of it balances the atmospheric force exerted on the reservoir.

Answer:

1. The density of mercury (=13.6×10 to power 3 kg /m) is greater than that of any other liquid so only 0.76m height of mercury column is needed to balance the normal atmospheric pressure. Use of other liquids require much longer tube .

2.The vapour pressure of mercury is negligible, and so the vacuum does not affect the barometric height.

3.The mercury neither wets nor sticks to the glass tube therefore gives accurate reading.

4.It can easily be obtained in a pure taste .

5. Mercury has a opaque and shinning surface therefore can me easily seen while taking the reading.

A bike rider pedals with constant acceleration to reach a velocity of 7.8 m/s over a time of 4.2 s. during the period of acceler
Artyom0805 [142]

To calculate the initial velocity of the bike, we use the following equation

d=\frac{1}{2} (u+v)t.

or

u=\frac{2d}{t} -v

Here, u is initial velocity, v is final velocity, t is the time and d is the distance covered by bike.

Given, u =7.8 m/s,d= 19 m and t=4.2 s.

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

u = \frac{2 \times 19}{4.2 \ s} -7.8 m/s = 9.05 \ m/s - 7.8 \ m/s \\\\ u= 1.2 m/s.

Thus, the initial velocity of the bike is 1.2 m/s.

In a concave mirror parallel rays falling on it convergs at
ella [17]

Answer:

1) In a concave mirror parallel rays falling on it converges at F and 2F.

Explanation:

Spherical mirrors can be used for magnification of images. There are basically two types of spherical mirrors and they are converging mirror and diverging mirrors. The converging mirrors are also termed as concave mirrors and its basic work is to converge or combine light rays coming from a larger distance to a single point. Mostly the light beams falling parallel to the principle axis of the concave mirror will be acting as parallel rays. And when these parallel rays fall on the mirror, the converging point can be the focal point of the mirror.

Thus the location of converging point in concave mirrors will be based on the position or distance of object from the mirror. If the object distance is very far from the twice the focal length distance of mirror, then the converging point will be the focal point or F. And if the object is placed slightly greater than twice the distance of focal point, then the image will be obtained at 2F. But the parallel beams will be converging at F and 2F.
