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

Two cars, initially at rest and 5 km apart at t=0 , simultaneously move toward each other. Car A travels at a constant speed of
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

<em>d. 268 s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Speed Motion</u>

An object is said to travel at constant speed if the ratio of the distance traveled by the time taken is constant.

Expressed in a simple equation, we have:

\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}

Where  

v = Speed of the object

d = Distance traveled

t  = Time taken to travel d.

From the equation above, we can solve for d:

d = v . t

And we can also solve it for t:

\displaystyle t=\frac{d}{v}

Two cars are initially separated by 5 km are approaching each other at relative speeds of 55 km/h and 12 km/h respectively. The total speed at which they are approaching is 55+12 = 67 km/h.

The time it will take for them to meet is:

\displaystyle t=\frac{5}{67}

t = 0.0746 hours

Converting to seconds: 0.0746*3600 = 268.56

The closest answer is d. 268 s

Part B
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

While slavery was the major issue separating the North and South, it was not slavery itself that sparked the conflict. The South wanted to secede from the Union, and the North refused. While President Abraham Lincoln personally opposed slavery, he recognized that it was legal under the U.S. Constitution at the time. He also recognized that few in the North were ready to go to war to free the slaves. For Lincoln and the northern majority, preservation of the Union was the foremost goal.

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

B) - 5.0 m

Explanation:

B is located on a positive location, 15m from the starting point A. Hence, since E is located a positive distance 10m from A, the difference becomes 10 - 15 = - 5.0 m

An atom emits a light wave with a wavelength of 449 nm. what type or color of light does this represent?
Vinvika [58]
The visible spectrum ranges from 390 nm to 700 nm. the visible spectrum consist of the red ( 620 - 750 nm ) , orange ( 590 - 620 nm ) , yellow ( 570 - 590 nm ) , green ( 495 - 570 nm ) , blue ( 450 - 495 nm ) and violet ( 380 - 450 nm ) so the wave length 449 nm will produce a violet color

The total charge a battery can supply is rated in mA⋅h , the product of the current (in mA ) and the time (in h ) that the batte
natita [175]

Answer: 0.2  hours

Explanation: In order to solve this question we have to considerer that a recargeable battery can supply 1800 mA  in one hour then we have to determine how long could this battery drive current through a long, thin wire of resistance 34 Ω .

Besides, this battery has a voltage of 12 V

so by using the Ohm law we also know that V=R*I,

Fron this we can obtain:

I= V/R= 12 V/ 34 Ω=0.35 A= 350 mA

then considering that this battery can supply 1800 mA in one hour we have this battery can supply 350 mA  in x time in the form:

1hour------- 1800 mA

x hour--------350 mA

time= 350/1800= 0.2 hour
