Answer:

Atmospheric pressure is commonly measured with a barometer. In a barometer, a column of mercury in a glass tube rises or falls as the weight of the atmosphere changes. Meteorologists describe the atmospheric pressure by how high the mercury rises.

Atmospheric Pressure

The air around you has weight, and it presses against everything it touches. That pressure is called atmospheric pressure, or air pressure.

How to calculate the number of protons and neutrons in elements

Nuetrik [128]

The atomic number is the number of protons. So, you can subtract the atomic number from the mass number to find the number of neutrons.
I hope this helps! :)

Calculate the number of images formed by two plane mirrors inclined at angel of 18 to each other

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

please give me brainlist and follow

Explanation:

Formula for number of images formed by two plane mirrors incident at an angle θ is n = 360∘θ. If n is even, the number of images is n-1, if n is an odd number of images.

1. Bone has a Young’s modulus of about

Blababa [14]

As we know that

$Y = \frac{stress}{strain}$

now plug in all data into this

$1.8\times 10^{10} = \frac{1.68 \times 10^8}{strain}$

$strain = 9.33 \times 10^{-3}$

now from the formula of strain

$strain = \frac{\Delta L}{L}$

$9.33 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{\Delta L}{0.54}$

$\Delta L = 5.04 \times 10^{-3} m$

$\Delta L = 5.04 mm$

As we know that

pressure * area = Force

here we know that

$Area = 3.53 \times 11.6 = 40.95 m^2$

$P = 0.2 atm = 0.2 \times 1.01 \times 10^5 = 2.02\times 10^4 Pa$

now force is given as

$F = 40.95 \times (2.02\times 10^4) = 8.27 \times 10^5 N$

As we know that density of water will vary with the height as given below

$\rho = \frac{\rho_0}{1 - \frac{\Delta P}{B}}$

here we know that

$\Delta P = 2600 atm = 2600 \times 1.01 \times 10^5 = 2.63\times 10^8 Pa$

$B = 2.3 \times 10^9 N/m^2$

now density is given as

$\rho = \frac{1050}{1 - \frac{2.63\times 10^8}{2.3 \times 10^9}}$

$\rho = 1185.3 kg/m^3$

as we know that pressure changes with depth as per following equation

$P = P_o + \rho g h$

here we know that

$P = 3 P_0$

now we will have

$3P_0 = P_0 + \rho g h$

$2P_0 = \rho g h$

$2(1.01 \times 10^5) = 1025 (9.81)(h)$

here we will have

$h = 20.1 m$

so it is 20.1 m below the surface

Here net buoyancy force due to water and oil will balance the weight of the block

so here we will have

$mg = \rho_1V_1g + \rho_2V_2g$

$A(0.0476)979 = 922(A)(0.0476 - x) + 1000(A)(x)$

$46.6 = 43.89 - 922x + 1000x$

$x = 3.48 cm$

so it is 3.48 cm below the interface

A sphere of radius R contains charge Q spread uniformly throughout its volume. Find an expression for the electrostatic energy c

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

$E = \frac{3kQ^2}{5R}$

Explanation:

Let the sphere is uniformly charge to radius "r" and due to this charged sphere the electric potential on its surface is given as

$V = \frac{kq}{r}$

now we can say that

$q = \frac{Q}{\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3} (\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3)$

$q = \frac{Qr^3}{R^3}$

now electric potential is given as

$V = \frac{k\frac{Qr^3}{R^3}}{r}$

$V = \frac{kQr^2}{R^3}$

now work done to bring a small charge from infinite to the surface of this sphere is given as

$dW = V dq$

$dW = \frac{kQr^2}{R^3} dq$

here we know that

$dq = \frac{3Qr^2dr}{R^3}$

now the total energy of the sphere is given as

$E = \int dW$

$E = \int_0^R \frac{kQr^2}{R^3} (\frac{3Qr^2dr}{R^3})$

$E = \frac{3kQ^2}{R^6} (\frac{R^5}{5} - 0)$

$E = \frac{3kQ^2}{5R}$
