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:
a) 6636 km
b) 0.0154
Explanation:
The height above the earth at its furthest point is 368 km
The height above the earth at its closest point is 164 km
Radius of the Earth is 6370 km
The distance of the satellite from the center of the earth to the furthest point is 6370 + 368 km = 6738 km
The distance of the satellite from the center of the earth to the closest point is 6370 + 164 = 6534 km
If we add together the sum of the distance of the satellite from the furthest and its closest distance, it is equal to the 2 major semi axis.
Basically,
2a = R + r
a = (R + r) / 2
a = (6738 + 6534) / 2
a = 13272 / 2
a = 6636 km
Eccentricity, e = (a - r) / a
Eccentricity, e = (6636 - 6534) / 6636
Eccentricity, e = 102 / 6636
Eccentricity, e = 0.0154
<span>Astronomy is a natural science that studies celestial objects and phenomena. More generally, all astronomical phenomena that originate outside Earth's atmosphere are within the purview of astronomy.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question "Astronomy can best be described as a/an" is "study of objects beyond the Earth's atmosphere."</span>
Answer:
Yes, it is very helpful.
Explanation:
It's helpful since in a cell, plant or animal, there are a lot of different things. It's hard to memorize everything and know what they look like. Using a model can help you memorize everything better and even understand it better. If someone asked me where or what something was in a cell I think I would be able to recognize it better.
I hope this helps!
Military personnel also use periscopes in some gun turrets and in armoured vehicles. More complex periscopes using prisms or advanced fibre optics instead of mirrors and providing magnification operate on submarines and in various fields of science
