Answer:

as I know about barometer consist of a mercury .

it can be made with a clean ,dry, thick walled glass tube of about one metre long .

the working mechanism can be given by:

when there is air pressure the mercury in the glass goes against the air pressure to balance itself .

If the weight of mercury is less than atmospheric pressure then the mercury will rise upwards and vice versa.

I think no need to explain the parts u can do it your self as it consist of testube and mercury as main components.if u want the explanation then use search engines to reshearch.

hope this helped you

comment if got any confusion .

Two boxers are fighting. Boxer 1 throws his 5 kg fist at boxer 2 with a speed of 9 m/s.

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

0.001 s

Explanation:

The force applied on an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the object:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$

where

F is the force applied

$\Delta p$ is the change in momentum

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

The change in momentum can be written as

$\Delta p=m(v-u)$

where

m is the mass

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

So the original equation can be written as

$F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}$

In this problem:

m = 5 kg is the mass of the fist

u = 9 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity

F = -45,000 N is the force applied (negative because its direction is opposite to the motion)

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to solve for the time:

$\Delta t=\frac{m(v-u)}{F}=\frac{(5)(0-9)}{-45,000}=0.001 s$

If a storm is 7.5 kilometers away how much time is expected between observation of lightning and thurder?

Romashka [77]

Answer:

21.9 seconds

Explanation:

lets say the speed of sound at room temp 343m/s and one kilometer is 1000 meters. so 7.5 kilometers is equal to 7500 meters and we divide this number by 343 and we get 21.8 seconds

A low orbit satellite at 100 km altitude had a camera that resolved a car location to within 0.3 meter. Find the minimum diamete

NeX [460]

Answer:

Minimum diameter of the camera lens is 22.4 cm

The focal length of the camera's lens is 300cm

Explanation:

y = Resolve distance = 0.3 m

h = Height of satellite = 100 km

λ = Wavelength = 550 nm

Angular resolution

$tan\theta\approx \theta =\frac{y}{h}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{0.3}{100\times 10^3}=3\times 10^{-6}$

From Rayleigh criteria

$sin\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{\lambda}{sin\theta}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{550\times 10^{-9}}{sin3\times 10^{-6}}=0.2236\ m=22.4\ cm$

Minimum diameter of the camera lens is 22.4 cm

Relation between resolvable feature, focal length and angular resolution

$d=f\Delta \theta\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{d}{\Delta \theta}\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{9\times 10^{-6}}{3\times 10^{-6}}=3\ m=300\ cm$

The focal length of the camera's lens is 300cm

How many significant digits should the answer to the following problem have? (2.49303 g) * (2.59 g) / (7.492 g) =

Feliz [49]

The number of significant digits to the answer of the following problem is four.

<h3>What are the significant digits?</h3>

The number of digits rounded to the approximate integer values are called the significant digits.

The following problem is

(2.49303 g) * (2.59 g) / (7.492 g) =

On solving we get

= 0.86184566204

The answer is approximated to 0.86185

Thus, the significant digits must be four.
