A pressure that will support a column of Hg to a height of 256 mm would support a column of water to what height? The density of

Paul [167]

Answer:

The height of water in the column = 348.14 cm

Explanation:

Pressure:This is defined as the ratio of the force acting normally ( perpendicular) to the area of surface in contact. The S.I unit of pressure is N/m²

p = Dgh............... Equation 1

Where p = pressure, D = density, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height.

From the question, the same pressure will support the column of mercury and water.

p₁ = p₂

Where p₁ = pressure of mercury, p₂ = pressure of water

D₁gh₁ = D₂gh₂.................. Equation 2

making h₂ the subject of equation 2

h₂ = D₁gh/D₂g............... Equation 3

Where D₁ and D₂ = Density of mercury and water respectively, h₁ and h₂ = height of mercury and water respectively

Given: D₁ = 13.6 g/cm³, D₂ = 1.00 g/cm³, h₁ = 256 mm = 25.6 cm.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substituting these values into Equation 3,

h₂ = (13.6×9.8×25.6)/1×9.8

h₂ = 348.14 cm

The height of water in the column = 348.14 cm

What if energy, like electricity, could not be converted to other forms like sound, heat, motion, or light?

EleoNora [17]

Answer: It wouldn't be as modern as today is we would be back to using oil and other things from back then there wouldn't be cars everything would be less machined.

A spearfisher stands in shallow water and sees a fish a few feet in front of her. She throws her spear directly toward the posit

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

the spear will end up above the fish relative to the actual position of the fish.

Explanation:

due to refraction of light coming from the fish the fish will appear slightly above from its real position

So due to this refraction the spearfisher will throw the spear directly at the image of the fish due to which it will not reach the position of fish but it will reach the position above the fish.

So here we can say that the spear will end up above the fish relative to the actual position of the fish

An action force is 40 N to the right. The reaction force must be: A. 20 N left B. 40 N left C. 20 N right D. 40 N right

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter B.

Explanation:

To answer this question, we must remember the third law of motion of Newton that states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Then, if the action force is 40 N to the right, the reaction force must be 40 N to the left.

How much heat is needed to bring 12.0 g of water from 28.3 °C to 43.87 °C, if the specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/(g•

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Heat capacity, Q = 781.74 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 12g

Initial temperature = 28.3°C

Final temperature = 43.87°C

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184J/g°C

To find the quantity of heat needed?

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

$Q = mcdt$

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 43.87 - 28.3

dt = 15.57°C

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Q = 12*4.184*15.57$

Q = 781.74 Joules
