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

How much work is done by the force lifting a
Ann [662]

The work done in lifting the hamburger is equal to the increase in gravitational potential energy of the hamburger, given by

W=\Delta U=mg \Delta h

where

m=0.1 kg is the mass of the hamburger

g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration

\Delta h=0.3 m is the increase in height of the hamburger


Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

W=(0.1 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(0.3 m)=0.3 J


So, the correct answer is

(3) 0.3 J

The stopping distances associated with slower speeds approximate the forward visibilities provided by low beam lights. However,
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Illumination distance is the distance, up to which the light of the vehicle can reach. Hence, it is a maximum distance from the, that driver can see.

Stopping distance is the minimum distance required by the car to stop after brakes are applied.

So, in order to avoid any accident the illumination distance must be greater than the stopping distance. So, the driver can stop the vehicle in time, when he sees something in front of it.

Since, the stopping distance in this case is two or three times longer than illumination distance. Therefore, low beam light does not provide enough visibility in high speed driving situations.

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>a. True</u>

(b) Can the speed of a rocket exceed the exhaust speed of the fuel? Explain.
muminat

<u>Yes. The speed of a rocket can exceed the exhaust speed of the fuel.</u>

How this is explained?

  • The thrust of the rocket does not depend on the relative speed of the gases or the relative speed of the rocket.
  • It depends on conservation of momentum.

What is conservation of momentum?

  • Conservation of momentum, general law of physics according to which the quantity called momentum that characterizes motion never changes in an isolated collection of objects; that is, the total momentum of a system remains constant.
  • Momentum is equal to the mass of an object multiplied by its velocity and is equivalent to the force required to bring the object to a stop in a unit length of time.
  • For any array of several objects, the total momentum is the sum of the individual momenta.
  • There is a peculiarity, however, in that momentum is a vector, involving both the direction and the magnitude of motion, so that the momenta of objects going in opposite directions can cancel to yield an overall sum of zero.

To know more about conservation of momentum, refer:

Find the voltage change when: a. An electric field does 12 J of work on a 0.0001-C charge. b. The same electric field does 24 J
kondaur [170]

Explanation:

Given that,

(a) Work done by the electric field is 12 J on a 0.0001 C of charge. The electric potential is defined as the work done per unit charged particles. It is given by :

V=\dfrac{W}{q}

V=\dfrac{12}{0.0001}

V=12\times 10^4\ Volt

(b) Similarly, same electric field does 24 J of work on a 0.0002-C charge. The electric potential difference is given by :

V=\dfrac{W}{q}

V=\dfrac{24}{0.0002}

V=12\times 10^4\ Volt

Therefore, this is the required solution.
