Hey there!

The pressure under a liquid column can be , calculated using  the following formula :

P = p x g x h  

P atm = 1.013 x 10⁵ Pa

g = 9.8 m/s²

h = ?

h =  P / ( p x g ) =

h= ( 1.013 x 10⁵ Pa ) / ( 900 x 9.8 ) =

h = ( 1.013 x 10⁵ ) / ( 8820 ) =

h = 11.48 m ≈  11.50 m

Hope this helps!

You are working as an assistant to an air-traffic controller at the local airport, from which small airplanes take off and land.
Alika [10]

Answer:

d = 2021.6 km

Explanation:

We can solve this distance exercise with vectors, the easiest method s to find the components of the position of each plane and then use the Pythagorean theorem to find distance between them

Airplane 1

Height   y₁ = 800m

Angle θ = 25°

           cos 25 = x / r

           sin 25 = z / r

           x₁ = r cos 20

           z₁ = r sin 25

          x₁ = 18 103 cos 25 = 16,314 103 m = 16314 m

          z₁ = 18 103 sin 25 = 7,607 103 m= 7607 m

2 plane

Height   y₂ = 1100 m

Angle θ = 20°

          x₂ = 20 103 cos 25 = 18.126 103 m = 18126 m

          z₂ = 20 103 without 25 = 8.452 103 m = 8452 m

The distance between the planes using the Pythagorean Theorem is

         d² = (x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)² + (z₂-z₁)²2

Let's calculate

        d² = (18126-16314)²  + (1100-800)² + (8452-7607)²

        d² = 3,283 106 +9 104 + 7,140 105

        d² = (328.3 + 9 + 71.40) 10⁴

        d = √(408.7 10⁴)

        d = 20,216 10² m

        d = 2021.6 km

A 248-g piece of copper is dropped into 390 mL of water at 22.6 °C. The final temperature of the water was measured as 39.9 °C.
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

335°C

Explanation:

Heat gained or lost is:

q = m C ΔT

where m is the mass, C is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Heat gained by the water = heat lost by the copper

mw Cw ΔTw = mc Cc ΔTc

The water and copper reach the same final temperature, so:

mw Cw (T - Tw) = mc Cc (Tc - T)

Given:

mw = 390 g

Cw = 4.186 J/g/°C

Tw = 22.6°C

mc = 248 g

Cc = 0.386 J/g/°C

T = 39.9°C

Find: Tc

(390) (4.186) (39.9 - 22.6) = (248) (0.386) (Tc - 39.9)

Tc = 335

A projectile is launched horizontally east at a speed of 29.4 M/s towards a wall 88.2 m away. What is the velocity of the projec
Drupady [299]

Time before projectile hits wall

= 88.2 m / 29.4 m/s = 3 seconds

Vertical velocity of projectile after three seconds

= 3*9.8 = 29.4 m/s

Horizontal velocity of projectile after three seconds, assuming no air resistance

= 29.4 m/s  (given)

Conclusion:

velocity of projectile when it hits the wall

= < 29.4, -29.4> m/s

= sqrt(29.4^2+29.4^2) m/s east-bound at 45 degrees below horizontal

= 41.58 m/s east-bound at 45 degrees below horizontal.

A student measures the pH of a solution to be 6.8. Which should the student add if she wants to decrease the pH of the solution?
zloy xaker [14]
The neutral pH is 7. Less than 7 indicates an acid and more than 7 indicates a base (up to 14).
<span> NaCl - it's a salt (we can't measure the pH)
H2O - it can be an acid but also a base  (the pH it is almost neutral,meaning close to 7 )
HF - it is a strong acid
</span><span> KOH  - it is a strong base (pH=14)
</span>
                        ↓

He needs to use HF (Hydrogen fluoride) to decrease the pH.
