The atmosphere pressure can support mercury in a tube, which the upper end is closed, up to 0.76 meter. If the mercury is replac

ed by pure water in this case, what is the maximum height the atmosphere pressure can support the water in such kind a tube? (The density of mercury is about 13.6 times larger than that of water).

Answer:

Maximum height the atmosphere pressure can support the

water=10.336 m

Explanation:

We know that ,

Pressure = h\cdot\rho\cdot g

Case 1 - Mercury in the tube

Density\ of\ mercury =\rho_1\\and\ height\ attained\ for\ mercury\ column = h_1

Case 2 - Water in the tube

Density\ of\ water =\rho_2\\and\ height\ attained\ for\ water\ column = h_2

Since atmospheric pressure is same

.P=h_1\cdot\rho_1\cdot g = h_2\cdot\rho_2\cdot g

or,  h_2=\frac{h_1\rho_1}{\rho_2}

Given\ h_1= 0.76\  m,\rho_1=13.6\cdot\rho_2

∴ h_2=0.76\cdot13.6=10.336\ m

Hence height of the water column =10.336 m

An electric toaster is rated 1200 watts at 120 volts. what is the total electrical energy used to operate the toaster for 30 sec
Anarel [89]
Energy is calculated as power*time, so give the wattage of 1200 W (equivalent to 1200 Joules/second) and time of 30 seconds, multiplying these gives 36000 J or 36 kJ of electrical energy.

If electrical charge or current is needed: Power = voltage * current, so given the power of 1200 watts and voltage of 120 V, current is 1200 W / 120 V = 10 Amperes. Charge is calculated by multiplying 10 A*30 s = 300 C.

A hot piece of iron is thrown into the ocean and its temperature eventually stabilizes. Which of the following statements concer
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

E. The ocean gains more entropy than the iron loses.

Explanation:

When there is a spontaneous process , entropy of the system increases . Here hot iron is losing entropy and ocean is gaining entropy . Net effect will be gain of entropy . That means entropy gained by ocean is more than entropy lost by iron .

Hence option E is correct .

Tex, an 85.0 kilogram rodeo bull rider is thrown from the bull after a short ride. The 520. kilogram bull chases after Tex at 13
Julli [10]
The question above can be answered through using the concept of Conservation of Momentum which may be expressed as,
                 m1v1 + m2v2 = mTvT
where m1 and v1 are mass and initial velocity of Tex, 2s are that of the bull, and the Ts are the total. Then substituting,
                    (85 kg)(3 m/s) + (520 kg)(13 m/s) = (520 + 85)(vT)
The value of vT obtained from above equation is 11.6 m/s

A shuttle on Earth has a mass of 4.5 E 5 kg. Compare its weight on Earth to its weight while in orbit at a height of 6.3 E 5 met
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

83%

Explanation:

On the surface, the weight is:

W = GMm / R²

where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth, m is the mass of the shuttle, and R is the radius of the Earth.

In orbit, the weight is:

w = GMm / (R+h)²

where h is the height of the shuttle above the surface of the Earth.

The ratio is:

w/W = R² / (R+h)²

w/W = (R / (R+h))²

Given that R = 6.4×10⁶ m and h = 6.3×10⁵ m:

w/W = (6.4×10⁶ / 7.03×10⁶)²

w/W = 0.83

The shuttle in orbit retains 83% of its weight on Earth.

A meter stick balances at the 50.0-cm mark. If a mass of 50.0 g is placed at the 90.0-cm mark, the stick balances at the 61.3-cm
Airida [17]

Answer:

126.99115 g

Explanation:

50 g at 90 cm

Stick balances at 61.3 cm

x = Distance of the third 0.6 kg mass

Meter stick hanging at 50 cm

Torque about the support point is given by (torque is conserved)

mgl_1=Mgl_2\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{ml_1}{l_2}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{50\times (61.3-90)}{50-61.3}\\\Rightarrow M=126.99115\ g

The mass of the meter stick is 126.99115 g
