A mercury manometer is connected to a container of gas. (a) The height of the mercury column on the side connected to the gas is

22.0 cm (measured from the bottom of the manometer). What is the height of the mercury column on the open side if the gauge pressure is measured to be 13.3 kPa? (b) If the gauge pressure of the gas doubles, what are the new heights of the two columns?

Answer:

(a) The height of the mercury on the open side if the gauge pressure is measured to be 13.3 kPa is 9.97395 cm

(b) When the gauge pressure is doubled;

The height of the mercury on the open side becomes 19.9479 cm

The height of the mercury on the side connected to the gas becomes 12.02605 cm

Explanation:

(a) The given parameters are;

The height of the mercury column on the side connected to the gas = 22.0 cm

The gauge pressure = 13.3 kPa

The gauge pressure is the pressure in the gas container relative to the atmospheric pressure, therefore, we have;

ΔP = P - P₀ = ρ × g × h

Where;

ΔP = The gauge pressure = P - P₀ = 13.3 kPa = 13,300 Pa

P₀ = The atmospheric pressure

P = The pressure of the gas in the container

ρ = The density of the mercury = 13593 kg/m³

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

ΔP = ρ × g × h, by substitution gives

13,300 = 13593 × 9.81 × h

h = 13,300/(13593 × 9.81) ≈ 0.0997395 m = 9.97395 cm

The height of the mercury on the open side if the gauge pressure is measured to be 13.3 kPa is 9.97395 cm

(b) Given that the gauge pressure for the gas doubles, we have;

13,300 × 2 = 13593 × 9.81 × h

Therefore, h = 2 × 9.97395 = 19.9479 cm

The height of the mercury on the open side, h = 19.9479 cm

Therefore, the height of the mercury on the side connected to the gas becomes, 22 - 9.97395 = 12.02605 cm

Ocean waves of wavelength 26 m are moving directly toward a concrete barrier wall at 4.0 m/s . The waves reflect from the wall,

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

a) the distance between her and the wall is 13 m

b) the period of her up-and-down motion is 6.5 s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

wavelength λ = 26 m

velocity v = 4.0 m/s

a) How far from the wall is she?

Now, The first antinode is formed at a distance λ/2 from the wall, since the separation distance between the person and wall is;

x = λ/2

we substitute

x = 26 m / 2

x = 13 m

Therefore, the distance between her and the wall is 13 m

b) What is the period of her up-and-down motion?

we know that the relationship between frequency, wavelength and wave speed is;

v = fλ

hence, f = v/λ

we also know that frequency is expressed as the reciprocal of the time period;

f = 1/T

Hence

1/T = v/λ

solve for T

Tv = λ

T = λ/v

we substitute

T = 26 m / 4 m/s

T = 6.5 s

Therefore, the period of her up-and-down motion is 6.5 s

Part of one row of the periodic table is shown. 4 blue boxes in a row. The first has S n at the center and 50 above with tin and

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Atoms of tellurium (Te) have the greatest average number of neutrons equal to 76.

Explanation:

In the periodic table, Elements are represented with their respected symbols. Above the symbol is the elements atomic number which is equal to the number of protons in each atom. Below the symbol is the mass number of that element which is roughly equal to the sum of neutrons and protons of that atom.

To calculate the number of neutrons we can take the difference of Atomic number and mass number:

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

<u>- Tin:</u>

Atomic number = 50

Mass number = 119

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 119 - 50

Number of neutrons = 69

<u>- Antimony(Sb):</u>

Atomic number = 51

Mass number = 122

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 122 - 51

Number of neutrons = 71

<u>- Tellurium(Te):</u>

Atomic number = 52

Mass number = 128

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 128 - 52

Number of neutrons = <u>76</u>

<u>- Iodine(I):</u>

Atomic number = 53

Mass number = 127

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 127 - 53

Number of neutrons = 74

Here, the greatest number of neutrons is for the atoms of Tellurium(Te).

An object of irregular shape has a characteristic length of L = 0.5 m and is maintained at a uniform surface temperature of Ts =

goblinko [34]

Answer:

The value of the average convection coefficient is 20 W/Km².

Explanation:

Given that,

For first object,

Characteristic length = 0.5 m

Surface temperature = 400 K

Atmospheric temperature = 300 K

Velocity = 25 m/s

Air velocity = 5 m/s

Characteristic length of second object = 2.5 m

We have same shape and density of both objects so the reynold number will be same,

We need to calculate the value of the average convection coefficient

Using formula of reynold number for both objects

$R_{1}=R_{2}$

$\dfrac{u_{1}L_{1}}{\eta_{1}}=\dfrac{u_{2}L_{2}}{\eta_{2}}$

$\dfrac{h_{1}L_{1}}{k_{1}}=\dfrac{h_{2}L_{2}}{k_{2}}$

Here, $k_{1}=k_{2}$

$h_{2}=h_{1}\times\dfrac{L_{1}}{L_{2}}$

$h_{2}=\dfrac{q}{T_{2}-T_{1}}\times\dfrac{L_{1}}{L_{2}}$

Put the value into the formula

$h_{2}=\dfrac{10000}{400-300}\times\dfrac{0.5}{2.5}$

$h_{2}=20\ W/Km^2$

Hence, The value of the average convection coefficient is 20 W/Km².

Melting, of course. Just as how an ice cube melts to water.

How do magnetic forces repel or attract?

Lerok [7]

“Magnets are surrounded by an invisible magnetic field that is made by the movement of electrons, the subatomic particles that circle the nucleus of an atom”

“Every magnet has both a north and a south pole. When you place the north pole of one magnet near the south pole of another magnet, they are attracted to one another. When you place like poles of two magnets near each other (north to north or south to south), they will repel each other.”
