The level of mercury falls in a barometerwhile taking it to a mountain.​

Physics
1 answer:
Alexxandr [17]2 years ago
8 0

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."

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

2872.8 N

Explanation:

We have the following information

m =n72kg

Δy = 18m

t = 0.95s.

From here we use the equation

Δy=1/2at2 in order to solve for the acceleration.

So a

=( 2x 18m)/(0.95s²)

= 36/0.9025

= 39.9m/s2.

From there we use the equation

F = ma

F=(72kg) x (39.9)

= 2872.8N.

2872.8N is the average net force exerted on him in the barrel of the cannon.

Thank you!

Which of the following statements are true?Check all that apply.
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

1.The Sun is located at one of the foci of the planets' elliptical orbits.

2.The path of the planets around the Sun is elliptical in shape.

Explanation:

As per Kepler's law of planet motion we know that all planets revolve around the sun in elliptical path in such a way that position of Sun must be at one of the focii of the path

So all planets are in elliptical path always

Position of sun is always at one of the focus

so correct answer will be

1.The Sun is located at one of the foci of the planets' elliptical orbits.

2.The path of the planets around the Sun is elliptical in shape.

A particle, whose acceleration is constant, is moving in the negative x direction at a speed of 4.91 m/s, and 12.9 s later the p
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The particle’s velocity is -16.9 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of particle in negative x direction= 4.91 m/s

Time = 12.9 s

Final velocity of particle in positive x direction= 7.12 m/s

Before 12.4 sec,

Velocity of particle in negative x direction= 5.32 m/s

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using equation of motion

v = u+at

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

Where, v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time

Put the value into the equation

a=\dfrac{7.12-(-4.91)}{12.9}

a=0.933\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the initial speed of the particle

Using equation of motion again

v=u+at

u=v-at

Put the value into the formula

u=-5.321-0.933\times12.4

u=-16.9\ m/s

Hence, The particle’s velocity is -16.9 m/s.

Aliun [14]

Answer:570.54 N

Explanation:

Given

mass of man=76 kg

\theta =50^{\circ}

As man is standing over inclined building therefore

its weight has two components i.e. sin and cos component

Force perpendicular to inclined wall

F=mgcos\theta =76\times 9.8\times \sin 50

F=570.54 N

ira [324]

Answer:

517.5Ns

Explanation:

F=(MV - MU)/t

where MV - MU is the change in momentum,

therefore, MV - MU = Ft

= 345 X 1.

= 517.5Ns
