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 car moves uphill at 40 km/h and then back downhill at 60 km/h. What is the average speed for the round trip?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=48km/h

Explanation:

Ok, the average speed can be calculate with the next equation:

S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{Total\hspace{3}distance}{Total\hspace{3}time}   (1)

Basically the car cover the same distance "d" two times, but at different speeds, so:

Total\hspace{3}distance=2*d

and the total time would be the time t1 required to go from A to B plus the time t2 required to go back from B to A:

Total\hspace{3}time=t1+t2

From basic physics we know:

t=\frac{d}{S1}

so:

t1=\frac{d}{S1}

t2=\frac{d}{S2}

Using the previous information in equation (1)

S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{2*d}{\frac{d}{S1} +\frac{d}{S2} }=\frac{2*d}{\frac{d*S2+d*S1}{S1+S2} }

Factoring:

S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{2*S1*S2}{S1+S2}   (2)

Finally, replacing the data in (2)

S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{2*40*60}{60+40} =48km/h

Write a hypothesis about how the height of the cylinder affects the temperature of the water. Use the "if . . . then . . . becau
AnnyKZ [126]
The statement that can be used to answer this  question is:

"If the cylinder is brought higher then, its temperature when brought down becomes higher because a greater amount of potential energy is converted to thermal energy."

The potential energy is converted to thermal energy when the object is released the velocity becomes higher because of the acceleration due to gravity.

A wooden artifact from a Chinese temple has a 14C activity of 41.0 counts per minute as compared with an activity of 58.2 counts
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relation between activity and number of radioactive atom in the sample is as follows

dN / dt = λ N where λ is disintegration constant and N is number of radioactive atoms

For the beginning period

dN₀ / dt = λ N₀

58.2 = λ N₀

similarly

41 = λ N

dividing

58.2 / 41 = N₀ / N

N = N₀ x .70446

formula of radioactive decay

N=N_0e^{-\lambda t }

.70446 =e^{-\lambda t }

- λ t = ln .70446 =   - .35

t = .35 / λ

λ = .693 / half life

= .693 / 5715

= .00012126

t = .35 / .00012126

= 2886.36

= 2900 years ( rounding it in two significant figures )
