Describe how wet and dry barometers work

1 answer:

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.

Two equally charged tiny spheres of mass 1.0 g are placed 2.0 cm apart. When released, they begin to accelerate away from each o

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the charge on each sphere is 0.135 μC

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 1.0

Distance = 2.0 cm

Acceleration = 414 m/s²

We need to calculate the magnitude of charge

Using newton's second law

$F= ma$

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

Put the value of F

$a=\dfrac{kq^2}{mr^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$414=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times q^2}{1.0\times10^{-3}\times(2.0\times10^{-2})^2}$

$q^2=\dfrac{414\times1.0\times10^{-3}\times(2.0\times10^{-2})^2}{9\times10^{9}}$

$q^2=1.84\times10^{-14}$

$q=0.135\times10^{-6}\ C$

$q=0.135\ \mu C$

Hence, The magnitude of the charge on each sphere is 0.135μC.

You walk with a velocity of 2 m/s north. You see a man approaching you, and from your frame of

solong [7]

Answer:

The velocity of the man from the frame of reference of a stationary observer is, V₂ = 5 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Your velocity, V₁ = 2 m/

The velocity of the person, V₂ =?

The velocity of the person relative to you, V₂₁ = 3 m/s

According to the relative velocity of two

V₂₁ = V₂ -V₁

∴ V₂ = V₂₁ + V₁

On substitution

V₂ = 3 + 2

= 5 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the man from the frame of reference of a stationary observe is, V₂ = 5 m/s

Why are noise considerations important in optical fiber communications? 3. Describe the principle of "population inversion".

pochemuha

Answer and Explanation:

the electronic devices always have some noises present in the signal

there are some important considerations in optical fiber communications these are.

the noise which is contributed by transmitter are electronic random noise, low frequency noise
noise which is contributed by laser are relative intensity noise, mode partition noise, conversion of phase noise to amplitude noise.
noise contributed by photo detector are quantum shot noise, shot noise from dark current, avalanche multiplication noise.

PRINCIPLE OF POPULATION INVERSION :

The principle of population inversion is defined as for production of high percentage of simulated emission for a laser beam the number of atoms in higher state should be greater than lower energy state
