The pressure of the atmosphere, when a barometer reads 780 mm Hg. Mercury which a density of 1.36 x 10^4 kg /m^3 is B 1.1 x 10^5 N/m^2

This problem can be solved using the formula below

P = dgh................. Equation 1

Where P = Pressure of the atmosphere, d = density of the mercury, h = height of the mercury, g = acceleration due to gravity.

From the question,

Given: d = 1.36×10⁴ kg/m³, h = 780 mm = 0.78 m,

Constant: g = 10 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (1.36×10⁴)(10)(0.78)

P = 10.608×10⁴ N/m²

P ≈ 1.1×10⁵ N/m²

Hence the right answer is B. 1.1×10⁵ N/m²

Answer:

Explanation:

Pressure = density × g × height

$p \: = (1.36 \times {10}^{4} )(10)(780 \times {10}^{ - 3} ) \\ p = 1.1 \times {10}^{5}$

You can hear a difference between these two sounds. That is because their pitch isdifferent. Pitch depends on the frequency of a sound wave. ... High sounds have highfrequencies and low sounds have lowfrequencies.

The temperature scale which starts at absolute zero is the _____.

oksian1 [2.3K]

The temperature scale which starts at absolute zero is the Kelvin scale. The correct option in respect to the given question is the last option. William Thompson was the British scientist and inventor that invented the Kelvin scale. William Thompson was also popularly known as Lord Kelvin.His discovery of the Kelvin scale is considered one among the three best scales in use for measuring temperatures.Each measuring unit of this scale is never called a degree but a Kelvin. This specialized scale gives the option of measuring temperature in both centigrade and Fahrenheit.

A 100-kg running back runs at 5 m/s into a stationary linebacker. It takes 0.5 s for the running back to be completely stopped.

Elza [17]

Answer:

1000 N

Explanation:

First, we need to find the deceleration of the running back, which is given by:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v = 0 is his final velocity

u = 5 m/s is his initial velocity

t = 0.5 s is the time taken

Substituting, we have

$a=\frac{0-5 m/s}{0.5 s}=-10 m/s^2$

And now we can calculate the force exerted on the running back, by using Newton's second law:

$F=ma=(100 kg)(-10 m/s^2)=-1000 N$

so, the magnitude of the force is 1000 N.

Bob walks 370 m south, then jogs 410 m southwest, then walks 370 m in a direction 28 degrees east of north.

wlad13 [49]

We will measure all angles from West, the negative x-axis and divide the journey into 3 parts:
P1 = 370y
P2 = 410cos(45)x + 410sin(45)y = 290x + 290y
P3 = 370cos(270 - 28)x + 370sin(270 - 28) = -174x - 327y

Overall displacement:
x = 290 - 174 = 116 m
y = 370 + 290 - 327 = 333 m

displacement = √(116² + 333²)
= 353 m

Direction:
tan(∅) = y/x
∅ = tan⁻¹ (333 / 116)
∅ = 70.8° from West.
