Why is mercury not suitable as the liquid in the U-tube? (the relationship between density of the liquid and the pressure in the

adoni [48]

Mercury Is more suitable than water cause it is denser than water.

Relation between density and pressure

Pressure = force/area

Replace force by mass * acceleration
Pressure = mass * acceleration/ area

We can replace mass by density * volume since density = mass/ volume
Pressure = density * volume * acceleration/ area

Volume is length^3 whereas area is length ^2. So volume / area = length

Pressure = density * length * acceleration

Gravity is form of acceleration so

Pressure = density * length * gravity
Length can be height or depth

Finally pressure = density * height * gravity

P = ρ g h => pressure of liquid

in an experiment which the volume of dry sand is measured by the displacement of water, the sand was slightly wet to begin with.

Mamont248 [21]

It would mean that you could not know the precise volume of the sand. Only the volume of the sand plus the water that was making it damp.

In the experiments listed, the effects are easy to deduce by understanding that the water in the sand adds volume to the 'sample' being measured.

So in the case of calculating air space you would calculate <em>less</em> air space.

A spring on a horizontal surface can be stretched and held 0.2 m from its equilibrium position with a force of 16 N. a. How much

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

a $W_{3.5} = 490 \ J$

b $W_{2.5} = 250 \ J$

Explanation:

Generally the force constant is mathematically represented as

$k = \frac{F}{x}$

substituting values given in the question

=> $k = \frac{16}{0.2}$

=> $k = 80 \ N /m$

Generally the workdone in stretching the spring 3.5 m is mathematically represented as

$W_{3.5} = \frac{1}{2} * k * (3.5)^2$

=> $W_{3.5} = \frac{1}{2} * 80 * (3.5)^2$

=> $W_{3.5} = 490 \ J$

Generally the workdone in compressing the spring 2.5 m is mathematically represented as

$W_{2.5} = \frac{1}{2} * k * (2.5)^2$

=> $W_{2.5} = \frac{1}{2} * 80 * (2.5)^2$

=> $W_{2.5} = 250 \ J$

Complete the ray diagram and label incident ray, refracted ray, angle of incidence, and angle of refraction

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Solution

Verified by Toppr

(a) The labelled diagram is shown.

(b) The refractive index of diamond is 2.42. Refractive index of diamond is the ratio of the speed of light in air to the speed of light in diamond.i.e.,

μ=

Speedoflightindiamond

Speedoflightinair

and, the ratio of these velocities is 2.42. i.e., This means that the speed of light in diamond will reduce by a factor of 2.42 as compared to its speed in air. In other words, the speed of light in diamond is

1/2.42

times the speed of light in vacuum.

Explanation:

a) Draw and label the diagram given :

(i) Incident ray

(ii) Refracted ray

(iii) Emergent ray

(iv) Angle of reflection

(v) Angle of deviation

(v) Angle of emergence

(b) The refractive index of diamond is 2.42. What is the meaning of this statement in relation to speed of light?

Buffalo, New York, and Raleigh, NC, lie approximately on the same meridian. Buffalo has a latitude of 42.9° N, and Raleigh has a

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Distance will be $=3960\times 0.12385=490.468miles$

Explanation:

We have given that Buffalo has a latitude of 42.9°N

And Raleigh has a latitude of 35.8°N

Radius of the earth = 3960 miles

We have to calculate the distance between given two cities

Difference in their latitudes = $42.9-35.8=7.1^{\circ}$

Now changing the angle in radian = $7.1\times\frac{\pi }{180}=0.12385radian$

So distance will be $=3960\times 0.12385=490.468miles$
