Answer:
<em>3924 Pa</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
Volume of cylinder = 2 L = 0.002 m^3 (1000 L = 1 m^3)
diameter of the inner cylinder = 8 cm = 0.08 m (100 cm = 1 m)
radius of the inner cylinder = diameter/2 = 0.08/2 = 0.04 m
area of the inner cylinder =
where = 3.142,
and r = radius = 0.04 m
area of inner cylinder = 3.142 x = 0.005 m^2
<em>height h of the water in this cylinder = volume/area</em>
h = 0.002/0.005 = 0.4 m
<em>pressure at the bottom of the cylinder due to the height of water = pgh</em>
where
p = density of water = 1000 kg/m^3
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2
h = height of water within this cylinder = 0.4 m
pressure = 1000 x 9.81 x 0.4 = <em>3924 Pa</em>
(Missing question is: which of the following statements are true?)
a) <span>A battery does work on electric charges to bring them to a position of higher electric potential energy so that they can flow through a circuit to a lower potential energy --> TRUE
That's true: the battery does the work to move the charges to one end of its terminal thus creating a potential difference between the two terminals. Then, when it is connected to the circuit, charges start to flow to the terminal at lower potential (through the circuit)
b) </span><span>the potential difference between the terminals of a battery, when no current flows to an external circuit, is referred to as the terminal voltage --> FALSE
This is false: when no current flows, it is called e.m.f. (electromotive force)
c) </span><span>the internal resistance of a battery decreases with decreasing temperature
--> TRUE
In fact, the dependence of a resistance with the temperature is:
</span>![R=R_0[1+\alpha (T-T_0)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=R%3DR_0%5B1%2B%5Calpha%20%28T-T_0%29%5D)
with
being generally positive, therefore the value of the resistance is proportional to T, and when T decreases, R decreases as well.
<span>d) a battery is a device that produces electricity by transforming chemical energy into electrical energy --> TRUE
</span><span>That's true: a battery uses chemical reactions to create a potential difference between the two terminals that can be exploited to make charges flowing through a circuit.
