The complete question is shown on the first and second uploaded image  

Answer:

When water is used the reading is  [tex]    R =  2281.6 \  cm  [/tex]

When mercury is used the reading is [tex]   R =  23.83 \ cm [/tex]  

The best fluid to use is mercury because for water a slight change in toluene level will cause a  large change in height .

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The length of the leg of the manometer to the top of the tank is  d =  500cm

   The toluene level where in the tank where the height of the manometer fluid level in the open arm is equal to the height where the manometer is connected to the tank is  h =150 cm  

   The manometer reading is  R  

Generally at the point where the height of the open arm is equal to the height of the of the point connected to the tank ,  

   The pressure at the height of the both arms of the manometer corresponding to the base of the tank are equal  

     i.e   [tex]P_1 = P_2[/tex]

Here [tex]P_1[/tex] is the pressure of the manometer at the point corresponding to the base of the tank and this is mathematically represented as  

       [tex] P_{atm} + P_1 =  P_{atm} + P_t[/tex]

Here [tex]P_t[/tex] is the pressure due to the toluene level in the tank and in the arm of the manometer connected to the tank and this is mathematically represented as  

         [tex]P_t  =  \rho_t  * g  * h_i[/tex]

Here  

      [tex]\rho_t [/tex] is the density of toluene with value  [tex]\rho_t =  867 kg/m^3 [/tex]

       

 [tex]h_i[/tex] is the height of the connected arm above the point equivalent to the base of the tank , this mathematically represented as

          [tex]h_i =  d - h + R[/tex]

  and  [tex] P_2 [/tex] is the the pressure at the open arm of the manometer at the point equivalent to the base of the base of the tank and this is mathematically represented as

         [tex] P_2 =  \rho_f * g *  h_f [/tex]

Here  

       [tex]\rho_f[/tex] is the density of the fluid in use , if it is water the density is  

       [tex]\rho_w =  1000 \  kg /m^3 [/tex]

and  if it is  mercury the density is  

        [tex]\rho_m =  13600 \  kg /m^3 [/tex]

[tex]h_f[/tex] is the height of the  fluid in the open arm of the manometer from the point equivalent to the base of the tank which is equivalent the manometer reading R

So when the fluid is water we have

      [tex] P_{atm} +  \rho_t* g *(d - h + R) =  P_{atm} + \rho_f * g *  h_f[/tex]

=>   [tex]   \rho_t* (d - h + R) =   \rho_w *  h_f[/tex]        

=>   [tex]    867  (500 - 150 + R) =    1000 *  R [/tex]

=>    [tex]    R =  2281.6 \  cm  [/tex]

So when the fluid is mercury we have      

  [tex]   \rho_t* (d - h + R) =   \rho_m *  h_f[/tex]          

=>   [tex]    867  (500 - 150 + R) =   13600  *  R [/tex]  

=>   [tex]   R =  23.83 \ cm [/tex]  

The difference in the mercury reading for mercury due to the fact that they have different densities as we have seen in this calculation

So the best fluid to use is mercury because for water a slight change in toluene level will cause a  large change in height .

When the light turns green, Mark accelerates straight down the road at 1.8 m/s2 for 8 seconds. What is his final velocity at the end of those 8 seconds?

Answers

Answer:

14.4m/s

Explanation:

To calculate the final velocity (V), we use the formula:

v = u + at

Where; v = final velocity (m/s)

u = initial velocity (m/s)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

t = time (s)

According to the provided information in this question, v = ?, u = 0m/s, a = 1.8m/s², t = 8s

Hence, v = u + at

v = 0 + (1.8 × 8)

v = 0 + 14.4

v = 14.4m/s

Therefore, his final velocity at the end of those 8 seconds is 14.4m/s.

b. The decomposition of radioactive elements causes heat in the interior part of
the Earth
c. Heat slowly rises to the mantle and creates convection current.
d. Heat moves to the core.
e. The process repeats as cycle.

Answers

Answer:

1) Lithospheric plates move in the asthenosphere due to rising and sinking of materials is 1.

2) The decomposition of radioactive elements causes heat in the interior part of the Earth

3) Heat slowly rises to the mantle and creates convection current.

4). Heat moves to the core

5) The process repeats as cycle.

Explanation:

Mantle convection is the gradual slow creeping of movement of the Earth's mantle which is as a result of convection current which transfer heat from the interior to the surface of the Earth .

The process of mantle convection start with

1. Lithospheric plates move in the asthenosphere due to rising and sinking of materials is and thus form the two component of the mantle.

2) The decomposition of radioactive elements causes heat in the interior part of the Earth. This is as a result of accretion which is associated to sea flooding

3) Heat slowly rises to the mantle and creates convection current.

4). Heat moves to the core, cools down by conduction and convection of heat.

5) The process repeats as cycle.

The proper and correct arrangement of events in the mantle convection process are:

1. The decomposition of radioactive elements causes heat in the interior part of  the Earth.

2. Heat moves to the core

3. Heat slowly rises to the mantle and creates convection current.

4. Lithospheric plates move in the asthenosphere due to rising and sinking of  materials.

5. The process repeats as a cycle.

Convection is considered to be one of the most efficient ways through which heat is transported from the interior of planet Earth to the surface.

Mantle convection can be defined as the very slow transfer of heat due to the movement of Earth's solid silicate material within the mantle.

Basically, the slow creeping of the mantle causes a transfer of heat from the white-hot core to the brittle lithosphere during mantle convection.

Furthermore, the heating of the mantle takes place from below (the core) and it rises upward in hotter regions while it sinks down in colder regions.

The proper and correct arrangement of events in the mantle convection process are:

1. Heat is caused in the interior part of  the Earth due to the decomposition or decay of radioactive elements.

2. Heat moves to the core.

3. Heat slowly rises from the Earth's core to the mantle and creates convection current in the asthenosphere, which is the plastic layer of the mantle.

4. Lithospheric plates move in the asthenosphere due to rising and sinking of  materials.

5. The process is then repeated as a cycle.

(02.04 LC) Which statement best describes the rate of dissolving? (2 points) Group of answer choices All substances dissolve at the same rate. All substances dissolve at a fast rate. The rate of dissolving may be fast or slow. Rates of dissolving are usually slow.

Answers

Answer:

C. The rate of dissolving may be fast or slow.

Explanation:

When a solute is added to a solvent, the rate of dissolving may be fast or slow. This is determined by the temperature of the solvent.

A high temperature of solvent can cause an increase in the rate of dissolving a solute or substance in it, while a low temperature of solvent causes a decrease in the rate of dissolving a solute or substance in a solvent.

Therefore, the rate of dissolving may be fast or slow.

you throw a snowball horizontally. it hits a target 2 meters away. you notice that it hit .9 m below were u aimed. with what horizontal velocoty did you throw the ball

Answers

Answer:

The target is 2 meters ahead of you.

If you throw the snowball with a velocity S, then the time that the snowball will need to hit the target is:

2m/S = T

Now let's analyze the vertical problem.

The only force acting on the snowball is the gravitational force, then the acceleration will be -g = -9.8m/s^2.

a(t) = -9.8m/s^2

For the vertical velocity, we need to integrate over time and get:

v(t) = (-9.8m/s^2)*t + v0

Where v0 is the initial vertical velocity, in this case is zero because the ball is thrown horizontally.

v(t) = (-9.8m/s^2)*t

For the vertical position, we integrate again over time.

p(t) = (-4.9m/s^2)*t^2 + p0.

Now, we know that when the ball hit the target, it hits 9 meters below the desired point (where the desired point is p0), so p(2m/S) = p0 - 9m.

Then we have:

(-4.9m/s^2)*(2m/S)^2 = -9m.

We need to solve this for S.

(-4.9m/s^2)*4m^2/-9m = S^2

2.178 m^2/s^2 = S^2

√(2.178 m^2/s^2) = S = 1.48 m/s

The horizontal velocity is 1.48 m/s

Explanation:

1 Solid ball, no subatomic particles. This model was proposed by some Greek Philosophers and John Dalton in 1803. That matter was made up of small indivisible substances called atoms.

4 Solid ball of positive materials with electrons scattered throughout. (Plum Pudding Model). This model was proposed by JJ Thomson in 1904. That the atom contained a large positively charged ball with negative charges scattered about.

3 # The atom is mostly empty space. A dense nucleus with protons and neutrons is in the center and electrons travel around it randomly. This model was proposed by Ernest Rutherford in 1911. The center of the atom was dense and positively charged with protons and neutrons surrounded by electrons orbiting it and most of the space between the nucleus and the electron orbit empty.

2 A dense nucleus with protons and neutrons is in the center of the atom. The electrons travel around the nucleus in distinct energy levels. This model was proposed by Niels Bohr in 1913. This was due to the fact that atoms only emit light at certain wavelengths which would imply that they have discrete energy levels which the electrons are contained in.

Сл A dense nucleus with protons and neutrons in the center of the atom. The electrons are found in "electron clouds" which surround the nucleus. Electron cloud show where electrons are likely to be, but not exactly where they are. This model was proposed by Erwin Schrodinger in 1926 through the solution of the Schrodinger wave equation. The position of the electron is assumed to to be a probability in an electron cloud.

sliding friction (1) between the car and the ground is?

Answers

Answer:

0.07

Explanation:

Huge Brain

Coefficient of friction between the car and the ground will be 0.07.    

    Given in the question,

Mass of the car 'm' = 3000 kgForce 'F' by which the car is pulled = 11000 NAcceleration 'a' by which the car gets accelerated = 3 meters per second²

Force applied on the car by which the car is accelerated,

F = ma

  = 3000 × 3

  = 9000 N

Force [tex]F_k[/tex] to overcome the friction = 11000 - 9000

                                                         = 2000 N

Gravitational force F' on the car = mg

                                                       = 3000(9.8)

                                                       = 29400 N

Since, [tex]\mu_k=\frac{F_k}{F'}[/tex]

                [tex]=\frac{2000}{29400}[/tex]

                [tex]=0.068[/tex]

                ≈ 0.07

   Therefore, coefficient of friction between the car and the ground will be 0.07.

Answers

Answer:

Velocity

Explanation:

If the position-time graph of the motion of an object is a straight line, it would mean that the object is moving uniformly. The velocity or the slope of the object is constant in such case. If the slope is curved line, it means that the velocity is not constant.

A 0.660 kg ball is dropped from rest from the top of a building and falls for 5.65 seconds. How tall was the building ?

Answers

Answer:

The height of the building is approximately 156.58 m

Explanation:

The mass of the ball dropped from rest from the building top = 0.660 kg

The time in which the ball falls, t = 5.65 seconds

The height, h, of the building is given from the following equation of motion;

h = u·t + ¹/₂·g·t²

Where;

u = The initial velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Plugging in the values, we have;

h = 0 × 5.65 + ¹/₂ × 9.81 × 5.65² ≈ 156.58 m

The height of the building, h ≈ 156.58 m.

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Compression is the region of high pressure in a medium caused by a pressure wave.

What is Compression?When a physical force presses inward on an object, causing it to become compacted, that is when compression force (also known as compressive force) happens. The atoms and molecules of the item move around in relation to one another throughout this process. Depending on the kind of material receiving the compressive stress, this change may be either temporary or permanent. Depending on the direction or location of the compressive force imparted to the object, other outcomes may also ensue.According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, there is an equal and opposite reaction force for every action force. Both ends of an object that is lying on a surface are subjected to the same amount of compression force.The physical shape of the spring gets compacted as compression force is applied to it. The spring immediately extends outward and returns to its original shape when the compression is released. This can be a dynamic reaction, depending on the amount of force used and the spring's own malleability.
