Answer:

This is due to a relative decrease in atmospheric pressure in high places.

Explanation:

Given that atmospheric pressure decreases at the higher point or ground, this reduced atmospheric pressure, however, will be unable to contain the Mercury in the barometer tube.

Therefore, at the top of the mountain where the air pressure is low, the barometer reading ultimately goes down.

Hence, the level of mercury falls in a barometer while taking it to a mountain "due to a relative decrease in atmospheric pressure in high places."

At what height above earth's surface is the gravitational acceleration reduced from its sea-level value by 0.40%?

GrogVix [38]

At sea level, you're 6400 km away from the earth's center. Where gravity is 0.4 fewer,

in other words 0.6 its sea level value, you're x km from the center, where:

(6400 / x) ^ 2 = 0.6)

Take note that gravity is an opposite square force.

So 6400 / x = 0.7746

so x = 8262 km from the Earth's center

so you're 8262 – 6400 = 1862 km above the Earth's surface

A constant-volume perfect gas thermometer indicates a pressure of 6.69 kPa at the triple point temperature of water (273.16 K).

mina [271]

Answer:

(a) ΔP=0.0245 kPa

(b) P=9.14 kPa

(c)ΔP=0.0245 kPa

Explanation:

(a) As it is perfect gas we can use

(P₁V₁)/T₁=(P₂V₂)/T₂

Since this constant volume so

P₁/T₁=P₂/T₂

T₂ is change in temperature

T₂=1.00+273.16

T₂=274.16 K

$P_{2}=(\frac{6.69}{273.16} )*274.16\\P_{2}=6.71449 kPa$

ΔP=6.71449-6.69

ΔP=0.0245 kPa

(b) As

$P_{2}=(\frac{6.69}{273.16} )*373.16\\P_{2}=9.14 kPa$

(c) Same steps as in part (a)

$P_{2}=(\frac{9.14}{373.16} )*374.16\\P_{2}=9.164kPa$

ΔP=9.164-9.14

ΔP=0.0245kPa
