A glass tube in the shape of a letter J has the shorter limb sealed and the longer limb open. Mercury is poured into the tube until the levels in either limb is the same when the tube is vertical.In this position, the length of the air column in the sealed limb is 6.3cm.More mercury is then poured into the tube until the length of the trapped air column is 42cm.Calculate the difference in the levels of mercury in the limbs if a nearby mercury barometer reads 75.0cm and the reading of a nearby thermometer has not changed?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

35.4 cm

Explanation:

We have that when the level of mercury on either limb is the same, the pressure of the trapped air, P₁ = Atmospheric pressure

Also the initial height of the mercury in the tube = The reading of the barometer = 75.0 cm

The initial length of the air column, l₁ = 6.3 cm

The final length of the air column, l₂ = 4.2 cm (The length is expected to decrease due to compression)

The volume, V = l × A

Where;

A = The cross sectional area of the tube

Therefore, the volume of the air column is directly proportional to the length of the air column

∴ V ∝ l

According to Boyles law, we have;

P₁·V₁ = P₂·V₂

Where;

P₁ = The initial pressure in the air column before more mercury is added

V₁ = The initial volume occupied by the air in the air column

P₂, and V₂ are the final pressure and volume of the air column respectively

Given that V = l·A, we can write;

P₁·l₁·A = P₂·l₂·A

P₂ = P₁·l₁·A/(l₂·A) = P₁·l₁/(l₂) = P₁ × 6.3/4.2 = 1.5·P₁

The pressure in the air column after more mercury is added, P₂ = 1.5 × P₁

P₁ = Atmospheric pressure, therefore;

The pressure in the air column after more mercury is added, P₂ = 1.5 × Atmospheric pressure

Pressure = h·ρ·g

Where;

ρ = The density of the substance

g = The acceleration due to gravity

h = The height of the column of the fluid

Given that the density and the gravitational force, can be taken as constant, we have that the pressure of the fluid is directly proportional to the height of the fluid column

Therefore, when the pressure doubles, the height of the fluid column doubles, and when the factor of increase is 1.5, we have;

The final level of the mercury, h₂ = 1.5·h₁ = 1.5×75 cm = 112.5 cm

The initial length of the closed end of the J tube, [tex]h_{closed1}[/tex] = 6.3 cm + 75 cm = 81.3 cm

The final length of the mercury in the closed end, [tex]h_{closed2}[/tex] = 81.3 cm - 4.2 cm = 77.1 cm

The difference in the level of mercury, Δh = h₂ - [tex]h_{closed2}[/tex]

∴ Δh = 112.5 cm - 77.1 cm = 35.4 cm

The difference in the levels of mercury in the limbs, Δh = 35.4 cm

Explanation:

Applying,

ΔH = Energy level of Product(E') - Energy level of reactant(E)

Where ΔH = enthalpy change, E' and E = energy level of the product and the reactant respectively

ΔH = E'-E............. Equation 1

From the diagram,

Given: E' = 200 kJ, E = 50 kJ

Substitute these values into equation 1

ΔH = 200-50

ΔH = 150 kJ

Hence the enthalpy change for the reaction is 150 kJ

Noticing large amounts of algal growth in her small farm pond, a farmer adds about 20 grass carp to feed on the abundant algae and plants. After several years, the carp grow large, exceeding 20 pounds each in size. Late one summer, the farmer notices that the carp and most of the other fish are dead. The water also smells very bad. Which one of the following is the most likely explanation for the death of these fish?
A. the algae overgrew the pond and produced toxic levels of ozone
B. carbon dioxide released by the carp and algae eventually suffocated the fish in the pond
C. the large carp grew so large that they could not get enough oxygen
D. bacteria feeding on the large volume of carp feces depleted the oxygen

Answers

Answer:

D. bacteria feeding on the large volume of carp feces depleted the oxygen

Explanation:

In the context, it is given that in a small farm pond, the owner added 20 grass carp and feed them with the abundant plants and algae that is found on her pond. The carp grew large after many years but one summer the owner found the grass carps along with other fishes were dead.

The most possible explanation for the dead of the fishes in the pond because the bacteria feeds on the carp feces which depletes the dissolved oxygen present in the water. Thus the fishes could not breathe and were finally dead.

Therefore, the correct option is (D).

Explanation:

Given that,

A car at a position 150 km [W] of Toronto travels to a position 400 km [W] of  Toronto.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a simple gravitational force problem using the equation:

[tex]F_g=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}[/tex] where F is the gravitational force, G is the universal gravitational constant, the m's are the masses of the2 objects, and r is the distance between the centers of the masses. I am going to state G to 3 sig fig's so that is the number of sig fig's we will have in our answer. If we are solving for the gravitational force, we can fill in everything else where it goes. Keep in mind that I am NOT rounding until the very end, even when I show some simplification before the final answer.

Filling in:

[tex]F_g=\frac{(6.67*19^{-11})(7.2000*10^{26})(5.0000*10^{23})}{(6.10*10^{11})^2}[/tex] I'm going to do the math on the top and then on the bottom and divide at the end.

a) Calculate the time it takes the tennis ball to reach the spectator.

b) Calculate the ball's horizontal range (horizontal distance travelled).

Answers

Answer:

(a) t = 0.75 s

(b) d = 26 m

Explanation:

Height, h = 12 m

Angle, A = 30 degree

initial velocity, u = 40 m/s

(a) Let the time is t.

Use second equation of motion

 [tex]h = u t + 0.5 at^2\\\\12 = 40 sin 30 t - 0.5 \times10 \times t^2\\\\12 = 20 t - 5 t^2\\\\5 t^2 - 20 t + 12 =0 \\\\t = \frac{20\pm \sqrt{400-240}}{10}\\\\t = \frac{20\pm 12.65}{10}\\\\t = 3.3 s, 0.75 s[/tex]

(b) d = u cos A t

d = 40 x cos 30 x 0.75 = 26 m

A delivery boy on a bicycle drags a wagon full of newspapers by pedaling at 0.90 m/s for 45 minutes using a force of 40 N. How much work has the boy done?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation for work is

W = FΔx

We are looking for work, so that means we have to be able to fill in the Force and the displacement. We have Force, but we don't have displacement. But the thing we need to do first is change the 45 minutes to seconds because the velocity is in m/s, not m/min.

45 minutes is 2700 seconds.

That means that  the displacement is

Δx = (.90)(2700) so

Δx = 2430 m

Now we plug that in to find work, along with the given Force:

W = 40(2430) so

W = 97200 J (and that is not the correct number of sig fig's but I have a feeling you're not too into that in class, because if you were, the 40 N would be expressed as 40.0 or 4.0 × 10¹)

A pair of forces with equal magnitude, opposite directions, and different lines of action is called a "couple." When a couple acts on a rigid object, the couple produces a torque that does not depend on the location of the axis. The drawing shows a couple acting on a tire wrench, each force being perpendicular to the wrench. Determine an expression for the torque produced by the couple when the axis is perpendicular to the tire and passes through the following. Express your answers in terms of the magnitude F of the force and the length L of the wrench.

We are to find an expression for the torque when the axis is perpendicular to the tire and passes through the points A, B & C

Answer:

Point A: τ = Fl

Point B: τ = 0

Point C: - Fl

Explanation:

Formula for torque is;

τ = F × d

Where;

F is perpendicular force

d is distance.

Thus;

> At point A, it means we are taking torque about point A and so we have;

τ = (-F × 0) + (F × L)

τ = Fl

> At point B, it means we are taking torque about point B and so we have;

τ = (-F × L/2) + (F × L/2)

τ = -(FL/2) + (FL/2)

τ = 0

> At point C, it means we are taking torque about point C and so we have;

τ = (-F × L) + (F × 0)

τ = -FL

Answer:

The bicycle has the greater acceleration.

Explanation:

Cyclist reaches a top speed of 10m/s in 15 s.

Formula for acceleration here is;

a = v/t

a = 10/15

a = 0.67 m/s²

Car reaches a speed of 15 m/s in 55 s.

Thus;

a = 15/55

a = 0.27 m/s²

From the 2 acceleration values gotten, we can say that;

The bicycle has the greater acceleration.
