Describe how wet and dry barometers work

Physics
1 answer:
siniylev [52]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: Wet barometer - The tool works by measuring atmospheric pressure to predict incoming weather. Since the glass is only filled halfway with water, the other half is exposed to the atmosphere. When the outdoor atmospheric pressure rises, the pressure in the glass decreases, and causes the water to move down the spout.

Dry barometer - A Torricellian barometer (sometimes called a mercury barometer) is an inverted (upside-down) glass tube standing in a bath of mercury. Air pressure pushes down on the surface of the mercury, making some rise up the tube. The greater the air pressure, the higher the mercury rises.

I hope this helps!

This is the change in kinetic energy of a system in which a 16 kg object moving at 25 m/s slows to a velocity of 20 m/s
Dennis_Churaev [7]

The kinetic energy of an object is given by

KE = 0.5mv²

where m is the mass and v is the velocity.

To calculate the change in kinetic energy...

Initial KE:

KEi = 0.5mVi²

where Vi is the initial velocity.

Final KE:

KEf = 0.5mVf²

where Vf is the final velocity.

ΔKE = KEf - KEi

ΔKE = 0.5mVi² - 0.5mVf²

ΔKE = 0.5m(Vf²-Vi²)

Given values:

m = 16kg

Vi = 25m/s

Vf = 20m/s

Plug in the given values and solve for ΔKE:

ΔKE = 0.5×16×(20²-25²)

ΔKE = -1800J

A ball is thrown straight up in the air. Which of these statements about its kinetic energy is true?A ball is thrown straight up
alexgriva [62]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The statement that is true about the kinetic energy would be that the <span>ball has the least kinetic energy at the top of its flight. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Which of the following does not contribute to eutrophication ?
sveticcg [70]

Answer: A. Sediment

Eutrophication is a phenomena in which a water body gets enriched with minerals and nutrients frequently entered into water body due to run-off from the land, which facilitates dense growth of plants especially on the superficial layers of water body. Decaying organisms, fertilizers and pollution all add nutrients and minerals necessary for plant growth specifically remain floating on the superficial layers of water where plant growth takes place but sediments gets settled at the bottom of the water body, the minerals present in it remain settle at the bottom and hence, does not contribute to eutrophication.
