Answer: Mercury is used for making thermometers, barometers, diffusion pumps, and other laboratory instruments. It can also be used to make mercury-vapor lamps, advertising signs, and mercury switches as well as pesticides, dental preparations, batteries, and catalysts.

We simply asked to name three uses for mercury.
The most common and well-known use of mercury is the production of thermometers. It's property to stay liquid at room temperature makes it ideal for a temperature indicator. However, the use of mercury is thermometers has been phased out due to health hazards.
It is also used to form an amalgam which is the result of its combination with silver or gold. Mercury has been used to mine gold and silver. This application has also been phased out.
Today's use of mercury includes mercury-vapor lamps which are the bright lamps used in high-ways.

A proton enters a uniform magnetic field of strength 1 T at 300 m/s. The magnetic field is oriented perpendicular to the proton’
scZoUnD [109]

A charged particle moving in a magnetic field experiences a force equal to:

\vec{F}=q\vec{v}\times \vec{B}

Thus, the magnitude of the force that the proton experiences is given by:

F=qvBsin\theta

The magnetic field is perpendicular to the proton's velocity, therefore, we have \theta=90^\circ. Replacing the given values, we obtain:

F=1.6*10^{-19}C(300\frac{m}{s})(1T)sin(90^\circ)\\F=4.8*10^{-17}N

gas is compressed by a piston in a cylinder from an initial pressure of 1.0 bar and initial volume of 0.4m3 , to a final pressur
Ket [755]

The work was done on the gas. and internal energy of the gas will be -13459 J and -21649 J.

<h3>What is work done by gas?</h3>

When energy is moved from one store to another, work is completed. Work done on the gas is taken as -ve.

Given data;

Initial pressure(P₁)=1.0 bar

The initial volume, V₁=0.4m³

Final pressure(P₂) =1.4 bar.  

work is done on the gas., W=?(-ve)

Heat release= - 8.1 kJ

Change in the internal energy of the gas., ΔE

During the compression process, PV=C

P₁V₁=P₂V₂

1.0 bar × 0.4m³= 1.4 bar ×V₂

V₂=0.285 m³

\rm W=P_1V_1ln\frac{V_2}{V_1} \\\\\ \rm W=1.0 \times 0.4 ln\frac{0.285}{0.4} \\\\\ W=-13549 \ J

The work done on the gas will be -13459 J.

The internal energy is found as;

ΔE=q+w

ΔE= -8.1 ×10³ -13549

ΔE=-21649 J

Hence, work was done on the gas. and internal energy of the gas will be -13459 J and -21649 J.

An electron moves with velocity v⃗ =(5.9i−6.4j)×104m/s in a magnetic field B⃗ =(−0.63i+0.65j)T. Determine the z-component of the
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force on the electron = q ( v x B )

q = - 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

v = (5.9i−6.4j)×10⁴

B = (−0.63i+0.65j)

v x B = (5.9i−6.4j)×10⁴  x (−0.63i+0.65j)

= (3.835  - 4.032 ) x 10⁴ k

= - 1970 k

Force on the electron = q ( v x B )

= - 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x -1970 k

= 3.152 x 10⁻¹⁶ k

z-component of the force on the electron

Fz = 3.152 x 10⁻¹⁶ N
