Answer:

Air pressure is the pressure exerted by the air around us while Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere on the earth. Air pressure is measured by tore gauge while atmospheric pressure is measured using mercury barometer.

You create a ramp using two text books and a 0.50m board. Using a timer you determine that a cart can roll down the ramp in 0.55

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The velocity of the cart at the bottom of the ramp is 1.81m/s, and the acceleration would be 3.30m/s^2.

Explanation:

Assuming the initial velocity to be zero, we can obtain the velocity at the bottom of the ramp using the kinematics equations:

$v=v_0+at\\\\v^2=v_0^2+2ad$

Dividing the second equation by the first one, we obtain:

$v=\frac{v_0^2+2ad}{v_0+at}$

And, since $v_0=0$ , then:

$v=\frac{2ad}{at}\\\\v=\frac{2d}{t}\\\\v=\frac{2(0.50m)}{0.55s}\\\\v=1.81m/s$

It means that the velocity at the bottom of the ramp is 1.81m/s.

We could use this data, plus any of the two initial equations, to determine the acceleration:

$v=v_0+at\\\\\implies a=\frac{v}{t}\\\\a=\frac{1.81m/s}{0.55s}\\\\a=3.30m/s^2$

So the acceleration is 3.30m/s^2.

You have 4.9 g of an unknown substance. To identify the substance, you decide to measure its specific heat and find that it requ

kifflom [539]

The unknown substance can be lithium, which has a specific heat capacity of approximately $3.5 J/gK$ .

Explanation:

When heat energy is supplied to a certain substance, the temperature of the substance increases according to the equation:

$Q=mC_s \Delta T$

where

Q is the amount of energy supplied

m is the mass of the sample

$C_s$ is the specific heat capacity of the substance

$\Delta T$ is the change in temperature

In this problem, we have

m = 4.9 g is the mass

Q = 668.85 J is the specific heat capacity

$\Delta T = 39 K$ is the change in temperature

Solving for $C_s$ , we find the specific heat capacity of the substance:

$C_s = \frac{Q}{m\Delta T}=\frac{668.85}{(4.9)(39)}=3.5 J/gK$

Looking at tables of specific heat capacity, we can see that the unknown substance can be lithium, which has a specific heat capacity of approximately $3.5 J/gK$ .

The focal length for a spherical convex mirror is –20 cm. What is its radius of curvature?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

40 cm

Explanation:

The focus of a spherical convex mirror is the point at which the rays of an object converge in the infinite, it is also the point at which an object must be placed so that its image is formed in the infinite. The distance from the focus to the origin is called the focal length and is called f. It is related to the radius of the mirror, R, according to:

$f=-\frac{R}{2}$
