Answer:
A mercury barometer is a device use to measure stomspheric pressure and is constructed as following:
- A mercury barometer requires a tube which has one close end, and one open end.
- Tube is placed upside down in a beaker in such a way so that one end open in the beaker and the other remain outside of the beaker.
- The barometric liquid (mercury) is then filled in the tube by pouring mercury liquid in the beaker.
The position of tube creates vacuum between the closed end of the tube and liquid surface and the Mercury has high density that is why used as the liquid to measure pressure.
Answer:
<u>because of the doppler effect</u>
Explanation:
<em>Remember</em>, the doppler effect refers to the changes in sound (frequency of sound) observed by a person who is in a position relative to the wave source.
In this example, we notice as the train comes closer to the boy, the sound becomes louder also increasing the pitch slightly, the doppler effect sets in when the train passes the boy because the boy notices a decrease in the pitch of the moving train.
We learn from the change in the observed sound of the train that the frequency of the sound is determined by the distance of the observer from the wave source.
In other words, the closer the source of the sound to the observer; the faster it travels to the observer, however, the farther it is; the lesser it is; the greater the sound heard.
Answer:
The mass of the object, its acceleration due to gravity and the distance between the top of the hill and the ground level.
Explanation:
gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a body under influence of gravitational force by virtue of its position.
In order to determine the gravitational potential energy of the brick, we must know the mass (m) of the brick, its acceleration due to gravity (g) since it is acting under the influence of gravitational force and the distance between the top of the hill and the ground level. (The height).
Potential energy of a body is calculated as mass × acceleration due to gravity × height.
Explanation:
Acceleration is the change in speed over a given time period
Answer:
2.06 m/s
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision are equal. Considering this case where we have frictionless surface, no momentum is lost in the process.
Momentum before collision
Momentum is given by p=mv where m and v represent mass. The initial sum of momentum will be 9v+(27*0.5)=9v+13.5
Momentum after collision
The momentum after collision will be given by (9+27)*0.9=32.4
Relating the two then 9v+13.5=32.4
9v=18.5
V=2.055555555555555555555555555555555555555 m/s
Rounded off, v is approximately 2.06 m/s
