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

Physics
1 answer:
Alexxandr [17]3 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."

What was the runoff from precipitation on the property for areas with vegetation and roofed or paved areas over the past four mo
puteri [66]

Answer:

Higher percentage of runoff water is absorbed by the vegetation whereas 100 % of water runoff on the roofed area.

Explanation:

Higher percentage of runoff water is absorbed by the vegetation and very little amount of runoff water is received on the end of vegetative cover while on the other hand, 100 percent of precipitation water runoff on the surface of roofed or paved area because no water is absorbed by the roof due to its solid surface. The percentage of runoff depends on the factors such as rainfall intensity, slope, soil water storage capacity, and infiltration rate.

What are the starting materials for nuclear fission
aliina [53]
In normal fission reactors, the fuel used to start the nuclear fission is Uranium-235. 
Generally, fuel rods enriched with uranium-235 are used to start the fission. When a nucleus of uranium-235 absorbs a neutron, it becomes unstable and then it breaks apart, producing two smaller nuclei, several neutrons and energy. The additional neutrons produced in the reaction are then absorbed by other nuclei of uranium-235, triggering other fission reactions, and so on.

Calculate the angular velocity and linea­r velocity of both wheels assuming the l­arger wheel rotates at 120 revolutions p­er mi
IRINA_888 [86]
<span>120 revolutions p­er min is (20RPM)
120revolutions is 240 Pi radians (because 1 revolution is 2Pi rad)

angular velocity
w= 240Pixf, f is the frequency and f= 1/T, T =1mn=60s=period, so f=1/60=0.01Hz
so w = 240*Pi*0.01=12.56 rad /s
linear velocity can be found with
V =Rx w,    
V=12.56 R the value depends on what value is the radius of both wheels
