Answer:

Pressure is defined as the force divided by the area perpendicular to the force over which the force is applied, or. P=FA. A given force can have a significantly different effect depending on the area over which the force is exerted Pressure the effect of a force applied to a surface is a derived unit, obtained from combining base units. The unit of pressure in the SI system is the pascal (Pa), defined as a force of one Newton per square meter. The conversion between atm, Pa, and torr is as follows: 1 atm = 101325 Pa = 760 torr.

Explanation:

Pressure and force are related, and so you can calculate one if you know the other by using the physics equation, P = F/A. Because pressure is force divided by area, its meter-kilogram-second (MKS) units are newtons per square meter, or N/m2. If you convert an atmosphere to pounds per square inch, it's about 14.7 psi.

Answer:

h=17357.9m

Explanation:

The atmospheric pressure is just related to the weight of an arbitrary column of gas in the atmosphere above a given area. So, if you are higher in the atmosphere less gass will be over you, which means you are bearing less gas and the pressure is less.

To calculate this, you need to use the barometric formula:

$P=P_0e^{-\frac{Mg}{RT}h}$

Where R is the gas constant, M the molar mass of the gas, g the acceleration of gravity, T the temperature and h the height.

Furthermore, the specific gas constant is defined by:

$R_{H_2}=\frac{R}{M}$

Therefore yo can write the barometric formula as:

$P=P_0e^{-\frac{g}{R_{H_2}T}h}$

at the surface of the planet (h =0) the pressure is $P_0[\tex]. The pressure at the height requested is half of that:[tex]P=\frac{P_0}{2}$

applying to the previuos equation:

$\frac{P_0}{2} =P_0e^{-\frac{g}{R_{H_2}T}h}$

solving for h:

h=17357.9m

Mila [183]

Even though the object is weightless, it would need inertia, I.e, you pushing it or any form of transportation. So you would still have to push that 500kg to just keep it moving in space. Say if it were a planet with less gravitational force, it would be weightless.

Which metal would cause the greatest increase in the temperature of the water in the calorimeter: the one with the highest speci

masha68 [24]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

the one with the highest specific heat

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius.
The specific heat of water is 1 calorie/gram °C or 4.186 joule/gram °C which is higher than any other common substance.
<em><u>A metal with the highest specific heat will cause the greatest increase in temperature of water in a calorimeter because the metal would hold more heat, and then transfer the greater quantity of heat to the water.</u></em>
