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.

Calculate the mass 9f the earth, assuring that uts is sphere with radius 6.67×10^6m.​
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

6.86 × 10²⁴ kg

Explanation:

The mass of the earth m = density of earth, ρ × volume of earth, V

m = ρV

The density of the earth, ρ = 5515 kg/m³ and since the earth is a sphere, its volume is the volume of a sphere V = 4πr³/3 where r = radius of the earth = 6.67 × 10⁶ m

Since m = ρV

m = ρ4πr³/3

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation for the mass of the earth, m, we have

m = 5515 kg/m³ × 4π(6.67 × 10⁶ m)³/3

m = 5515 kg/m³ × 4π × 296.741 × 10¹⁸ m³/3

m = 5515 kg/m³ × 1189.9639π × 10¹⁸ m³/3

m = 6546105.64378π × 10¹⁸ kg/3

m = 20565197.400122 × 10¹⁸ kg/3

m = 6855065.8 × 10¹⁸ kg

m = 6.8550658 × 10²⁴ kg

m ≅ 6.86 × 10²⁴ kg

Allison is looking through a telescope at an object in space. The object looks like a very small planet, and it does not have a
Verizon [17]

Answer:

Allison is probably looking at the asteroid.

Explanation:

  • Asteroids are the giant gas balls of inner solar system that are present in the space.
  • Asteroids orbits around the sun in very irregular ans strange path unlike the other planets.
  • This is also the reason why it's called as the minor planets.
  • It could have been comet but if it had been a comets he must have seen the tail but asteroids do not have any tail like structure.

The volume flow rate of the water supplied by a well is 2.0×10−4m3/s.The well is 40.0 m deep. (a) What is the power output of th
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

a). P=78.4W

b). P=392kPa

c.) It must be at the bottom

Explanation:

Given:

Volume flow V_f=2.0x10^{-4}m^3/s

Well depp h=40.m

a.

The power output of the pum

W=F*d

F=m*g

m=p*V=1000kg/m^3*2.0x10^{-4}m^3}=0.2Kg

W=m*g*d=0.2kg*9.8m/s^2*40.0m=78.4kg*m^2/s^2

W=78.4J

P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{78.4J}{1s}=78.4W

b.

The pressure of difference the pum

ΔP=p*g*y'

ΔP=1000kg/m^3*9.8m/s^2*40.0m=392x10^3Pa

P=392kPa

c.

It must be at the bottom since the pressure difference is greater than atmospheric pressure, so it wouldn't be able to lift the water all the way
