Suppose a scoentist was able to construct a barometer with a liquid being denser than mercury , then how high would the liquid r

aise at standard pressure
Physics

ki77a [65]3 years ago

Answer:

the liquid has less height than the mercury

      h_{ liquid} = \frac{\rho_{Hg} }{\rho_{liqid}}  \  h_{Hg}

Explanation:

The pressure as a function of the height is given by

        P = ρ g h

where ρ is the density of the liquid, g the acceleration of gravity and h the height reached by the column of the liquid

In that case they say that the pressure is the standard one that is P = 1.01 10⁵ Pa = 760 mmHg

The first way to give the pressure is in SI units and the second way is the height that the mercury column reaches

In the case of building a barometer with a liquid that has a density greater than that of mercury

            ρ_liquid > ρ_Hg

             

the pressure

              P =ρ_lquid g h_liquid

if we have the same pressure

            ρ_{Hg} g h_{Hg} = ρ_{liquid}  g h_{liquid}

            h_{ liquid} = \frac{\rho_{Hg} }{\rho_{liqid}}  \  h_{Hg}

therefore the liquid has less height than the mercury

Minority group
Margarita [4]

Answer:

Minority group - People who are singled  out for unequal treatment  and who regard  themselves as objects of  collective discrimination.

Ethnicity - A shared identity based on  cultural elements such as  heritage, language, and  religion.

Majority group - A group's subset that  consists of more than half  of the entire group's  members.

Race - A socially constructed  group of people who share  physical characteristics  that are considered  significant by a society  and that are used to  distinguish them from  other groups.

Explanation:

To better understand the above-mentioned definitions we would use some examples:

Elder people can be considered as a minority group in the United States because of their reduced status as a consequence of popular discrimination and prejudice against them. In contrast to them, young men consisting of more than half the population in the age category is an example of the majority group.

Groups of people like Hispanic Americans, Jews, Italian America, Irish are some examples of people belonging to different ethnic backgrounds residing in the U.S.

African Americans who are distinguished based on their skin color is an example of race.

In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments at the beginning of the 20th century, an alpha particle was accelerated toward
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m

Explanation:

The alpha particle will be deflected when its kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy

Charge of the alpha particle q₁= 2 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C = 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Charge of the gold nucleus q₂= 79 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C

Kinetic energy of  the alpha particle = 5.28 × 10⁶ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J ( 1 eV)

=  8.459 × 10⁻¹³

k electrostatic force constant = 9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c²

Kinetic energy = potential energy =   k q₁q₂ / r where r is the closest distance the alpha particle got to the gold nucleus

r = (  9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c² × 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C) / 8.459 × 10⁻¹³

= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m

Which of the following can only be a situation of increasing temperature?
Papessa [141]

Increasing the temperature causes an increase in the average kinetic energy of the particles of a material.

<h3>What is average kinetic energy of particles?</h3>

The average kinetic energy of particles is the energy possessed by particles due to their constant motion.

The constant motion of particles occurs due to the energy acquired by the particles, when the temperature of the particles increases, the average kinetic energy increases which in turn increases the speed of the particles.

Thus, we can conclude that, increasing the temperature causes an increase in the average kinetic energy of the particles of a material.

a 25 kg object is pushed with a horizontal force of 5 N esat across a table. If the force of friction is 2 N, what is the accele
Julli [10]

Answer:

Apply Newton's second law in the moving direction.

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}F &= ma\\5N-2N &= 25kg\times a\\a & = \frac{3N}{25kg}\\&= 0.12ms^{-2}\end{aligned}

Friction force applies in the opposite direction of motion; as a restriction.
