As a rain storm passes through a region, there is an associated drop in atmospheric pressure. If the height of a mercury baromet

er drops by 21.6 mm from the normal height, what is the atmospheric pressure (in Pa)? Normal atmospheric pressure is 1.013 ✕ 105 Pa and the density of mercury is 13.6 g/cm3.

Answer:

new atmospheric pressure is 0.9838 × 10^{5}  Pa

Explanation:

given data

height = 21.6 mm = 0.0216 m

Normal atmospheric pressure = 1.013 ✕ 10^5 Pa

density of mercury = 13.6 g/cm³

to find out

atmospheric pressure

solution

we find first height of mercury when normal pressure that is

pressure p = ρ×g×h

put here value

1.013 × 10^{5}  = 13.6 × 10³ × 9.81 × h

h =  0.759 m

so change in height Δh = 0.759 - 0.0216

new height H = 0.7374 m

so new pressure = ρ×g×H

put here value

new pressure = 13.6 × 10³ × 9.81 × 0.7374

atmospheric pressure = 98380.9584

so new atmospheric pressure is 0.9838 × 10^{5}  Pa

Why does a balloon filled with the air from your lungs sink to the ground but a balloon filled with Helium floats ?
hoa [83]

Helium is lighter than air from the lungs.

Explanation:

A balloon filled with the air from lungs will sink to the ground but a balloon filled with Helium floats because helium is lighter than air.

Air is a mixture of many gases.

The air from the lungs is predominantly made up of carbon dioxide and water vapor.

  • Gram per mole of carbon dioxide is 44. Water vapor is 18.
  • Compared to helium which is 4, we see that the gas is lighter.
  • Since the gas is lighter, it will float in air.
  • The main component of air around us is nitrogen gas with a gram per mole of 28.
  • A balloon filled with more of air from the lungs weigh more than that will filled air around and even far more than helium gas.
  • This will cause a helium filled balloon to float.

If 3,600 J of work is done in 3.0 s, what is the power?
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

1,200 watts

Explanation:

1 watt = 1 Joule (J) of work / second

So, 3600 Joules of work / 3 seconds is:

3600 J / 3 seconds = 1,200 watts
