What are the function of mercury barometer ​

Physics
2 answers:
Orlov [11]3 years ago

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.

Different between pulling and pushing force​
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Push and pull are both forces, but the difference is in their direction at which it is applied. If the force applied in the direction of motion of the particle then we call it push. If that force applied in the direction OPPOSITE to the motion of the particle then it it termed as pull

When antimatter interacts with an equal mass of ordinary matter, both matter and antimatter are converted completely into energy
Ilya [14]

Answer:

  v = 5.88 10⁷ m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the relation

          E = m c²

also indicate that all energy is converted into kinetic energy

          E = K = ½ (M-2m) v²

where m is the mass of antimatter and M is the mass of the ship's mass. Factor two is due to the fact that equal amounts of matter and antimatter must be combined

we substitute  

         m c² = ½ (M-2m) v²

        v² = 2 \frac{m}{M+2m} \ c^2

         

let's calculate

        v = \sqrt{2 \  \frac{4 \ 10^4 }{2 \ 10^6 + 2 \ 4 \ 10^4} \ (3 \ 10^8)^2}

         v = \sqrt{ 34.615 \ 10^{14}}

        v = 5.88 10⁷ m / s

A light-rail train going from one station to the next on a straight section of track accelerates from rest at 1.1 m/s2 for 20 s.
Kruka [31]
It accelerates from rest at 1.1 m/s^2 for 20s. 

<span>s = at^2/2 </span>
<span>s = (.5)(1.1)(20)^2= 220m </span>

<span>then it travels 1100m </span>

<span>Then it slows down at 2.2m/s^2 until it stops at the station. </span>

<span>Calculate the train's speed: </span>
<span>v = at </span>
<span>v = (1.1)(20) = 22m/s 
</span>
<span>Now, calculate the time to stop: </span>
<span>v = at </span>
<span>t = 22/2.2 = 10s </span>
<span>s = t(u+v)/2 </span>
<span>s = 10(0+22)/2 = 110m </span>

<span>(A) Total distance = 220 +1100+110 = 1430m </span>

<span>(B) Time = 20 + 1100/22 + 10 = 80s</span>
