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

What is the relationship between pho Thanh energy and the color of light
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Red photons have the least amount of energy

Explanation:

The relationship between the photon energy and the color of light is given by:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

E is the energy

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength (which determines the color of light)

As we see from the equation, energy and wavelength are inversely proportional: this means that the longer the wavelength, the lower the energy, and viceversa.

Among the colors in the visible light spectrum, red is the color with longest wavelength (620-750 nm) and violet is the color with shortest wavelength (380-450 nm). This means that red photons have the least amount of energy, while violet photons have the greatest amount of energy.

So the correct choice is

Red photons have the least amount of energy

Two identical trucks have mass 5100 kg when empty, and the maximum permissible load for each is 8000 kg. the first truck, carryi
Oksanka [162]
<span>The 2nd truck was overloaded with a load of 16833 kg instead of the permissible load of 8000 kg. The key here is the conservation of momentum. For the first truck, the momentum is 0(5100 + 4300) The second truck has a starting momentum of 60(5100 + x) And finally, after the collision, the momentum of the whole system is 42(5100 + 4300 + 5100 + x) So let's set the equations for before and after the collision equal to each other. 0(5100 + 4300) + 60(5100 + x) = 42(5100 + 4300 + 5100 + x) And solve for x, first by adding the constant terms 0(5100 + 4300) + 60(5100 + x) = 42(14500 + x) Getting rid of the zero term 60(5100 + x) = 42(14500 + x) Distribute the 60 and the 42. 60*5100 + 60x = 42*14500 + 42x 306000 + 60x = 609000 + 42x Subtract 42x from both sides 306000 + 18x = 609000 Subtract 306000 from both sides 18x = 303000 And divide both sides by 18 x = 16833.33 So we have the 2nd truck with a load of 16833.33 kg, which is well over it's maximum permissible load of 8000 kg. Let's verify the results by plugging that mass into the before and after collision momentums. 60(5100 + 16833.33) = 60(21933.33) = 1316000 42(5100 + 4300 + 5100 + 16833.33) = 42(31333.33) = 1316000 They match. The 2nd truck was definitely over loaded.</span>
