Answer:

The absolute pressure is 28.15 psi.

Explanation:

Gauge pressure = 28 inch of Mercury

Absolute pressure, Po = 14.4 psi

The absolute pressure is the sum of the gauge pressure and the absolute pressure.  

gauge pressure = 28 inch = 0.7112 m of Mercury

= 0.7112 x 13.6 x 1000 x 9.8 = 94788.736 Pa

= 13.75 psi

The absolute pressure is

P = 14.4 + 13.75 = 28.15 psi

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 100m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 120 m horizontally aw
pshichka [43]

Answer:

44.3 m/s

Explanation:

Given that a ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 100m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 120 m horizontally away from and below the point of release.

What is the magnitude of its velocity just before it strikes the ground ?

The parameters given are:

Height H = 100m

Since the ball is thrown from a top of a building, initial velocity U = 0

Let g = 9.8m/s^2

Using third equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 + 2gH

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

V^2 = 2 × 9.8 × 100

V^2 = 200 × 9.8

V^2 = 1960

V = 44.27 m/s

Therefore, the magnitude of its velocity just before it strikes the ground is 44.3 m/s approximately

What is the efficiency of an engine that exhausts 440 J of heat to a cold reservoir and receives 570 J of heat from a hot reserv
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Efficiency = 77%

Explanation:

Input energy = 570 J

Output energy = 440 J

To find the efficiency;

Efficiency = \frac {Out-put \; energy}{In-put \; energy} * 100

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Efficiency = \frac {440}{570} * 100

Efficiency = 0.7719 * 100

Efficiency = 77.19 ≈ 77%

Therefore, the efficiency of the engine is 77 percent.

Name the conditions required for 2 waves to interfere constructively
Brrunno [24]

The sources of the waves must be coherent, which means they emit identical waves with a constant phase difference and the waves should be monochromatic - they should be of a single wavelength.

How does planting high yield crop varieties make farming more sustainable
lakkis [162]

Answer:

The more high yield crops are planted, the more production there will be from plants.

Explanation:

High-yield plants are plants that are genetically modified or modified artificially in a way that makes farming plants more efficient. More crops grow, therefore more money.

The answer is, the more high-yield plants there are, the more efficiency there will be from farming.

During a baseball game, a batter hits a pop-up to a fielder 93 m away.The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2.If the ball remain
velikii [3]

Explanation:

It is given that, a batter hits a pop-up to a fielder 93 m away, range of the projectile, R = 93 m

The ball remains in the air for 5.4 s, the time of flight is 5.4 s

Time of flight : T=\dfrac{2v\sin\theta}{g}

5.4=\dfrac{2v\sin\theta}{g}\\\\v\sin\theta=\dfrac{5.4\times 9.8}{2}\\\\v\sin\theta=26.46

Maximum height of the projectile : H=\dfrac{v^2\sin^2\theta}{2g}

We need to find H.

So,

H=\dfrac{(v\sin\theta)^2}{2g}\\\\H=\dfrac{(26.46)^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\H=35.72\ m

So, it will rise to a height of 35.72 m.
