Answer:

442.36038 meters or 1451.31362 feet

Explanation:

P_1 represents the initial pressure of 30.15 inHg

P_2 shows the final pressure as 28.607 inHg

\rho indicates the air density of 0.075 lb/ft³

1\ lb/ft^3=16.0185\ kg/m^3

1\ in=0.0254\ m

1\ m=3.28084\ ft

Mercury's density is 13560 kg/m³

The gravity acceleration constant is 9.81 m/s²

The pressure difference is calculated by

P_1-P_2=\rho gh\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{P_1-P_2}{\rho g}\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{(30.15-28.607)\times 13560\times 0.0254\times 9.81}{0.075\times 16.0185\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h=442.36038\ m\\\Rightarrow h=442.36038\times 3.28084\\\Rightarrow h=1451.31362\ ft

The estimated building height is 442.36038 meters or 1451.31362 feet

a fixed mass of a n ideal gas is heated from 50 to 80C at a constant pressure at 1 atm and again at a constant pressure of 3 atm
inna [3103]

Answer:

The required energy remains identical in both scenarios since the specific heat capacity (Cp) does not change with varying pressure.

Explanation:

Given;

initial temperature, t₁ = 50 °C

final temperature, t₂ = 80 °C

Temperature change, ΔT = 80 °C - 50 °C = 30 °C

Pressure for scenario one = 1 atm

Pressure for scenario two = 3 atm

The energy needed in both scenarios is expressed as;

Q = M*C_p*\delta T

Where;

Cp denotes specific heat capacity, which only varies with temperature and remains unaffected by pressure.

Hence, the energy required remains the same for both scenarios since specific heat capacity (Cp) is pressure-independent.

A projectile is fired from ground level with a speed of 150 m/s at an angle 30.° above the horizontal on an airless planet where
Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

130 m/s (to two significant figures)

Explanation:

In projectile motion, the launching velocity and launch angle help to determine both the horizontal and vertical velocity components.

u represents the initial projectile velocity = 150 m/s

uₓ = u cos θ = 150 cos 30° = 129.9 m/s

uᵧ = u sin θ = 150 sin 30° = 75.0 m/s

A projectile's motion can be viewed as made up of independent vertical and horizontal elements.

The vertical motion is affected by gravitational acceleration (which pulls down on the projectile), altering the vertical velocity component due to this acting force.

Conversely, there is no acting force in the horizontal direction, which means the horizontal component maintains a steady velocity throughout the projectile's flight.

Thus, at t = 4 s, the horizontal component of the projectile's speed remains equal to the initial horizontal velocity component.

At t = 4 s, the horizontal component of velocity is uₓ = u cos θ = 150 cos 30° = 129.9 m/s ≈ 130 m/s

Determine the mass of a ball with a velocity of 40.0 m/s and a wavelength of 8.92 Ã 10-34 m.
Sav [3153]
The wavelength can be calculated as Planck's constant divided by the momentum of the ball.
This translates to:
lambda = h / p.............> equation I
Momentum is equal to mass times velocity............> equation II

By substituting equation II into equation I, we obtain:
lambda = h / mv
Here are the values provided:
lambda = 8.92 * 10^-34 m
Planck's constant = 6.625 * 10^-34
velocity = 40 m/sec

Substituting these values into the previous equation, we calculate the mass as follows:
8.92*10^-34 = (6.625*10^-34) / (40*m)
mass = 0.0185678 kg

A 2.1 × 103 kg car starts from rest at the top of a driveway that is sloped at an angle of 20.0° with the horizontal. An average
Keith_Richards [3271]

Answer:

The driveway measures 4.98 m

Explanation:

We aim to find the length of the driveway, thus utilizing the following equations

W=ΔK.E    where W represents work and  ΔK.E   indicates the change in kinetic energy

Moreover,

K.E = \frac{ MV^2}{2}also

W = F.d  where F is the force and d denotes distance

Given that

= 4000 N indicating this frictional force

F_{f} m = 2100 Kg  

θ= 20.0°  

V=3.8 m/s representing the car's speed at the bottom of the driveway

W=Δ K.E

=  15162  J  

W = (1/2)(2100)(3.8)^2As the x component of gravity is

= mg sinФ

Fx_thus

= (2100)(9.8)sin(20.0°) results in

Fx_{} = 7038.77 N

And the Net force isFx_{}

=

-

F_{net}Fx_ {} = 7038.77 - 4000 = 3038.77 NF_{f}

So, the length of the driveway equals W / (

) = 15162/3038.77 = 4.98 m F_{net}

F_{net}

Thus, this is the length of the driveway.

A bucket of mass m is hanging from the free end of a rope whose other end is wrapped around a drum (radius R, mass M) that can r
Maru [3345]

Response:

Explanation:

Let T denote the tension.

By employing Newton's second law to analyze the bucket's downward motion, we have:

mg - T = ma

A torque, TR, acts on the drum, inducing an angular acceleration α in it. If I refers to the moment of inertia of the drum, then:

TR = Iα

Rearranging gives: TR = Ia/R

This leads to T =  Ia/R²

Substituting this expression for T back into the previous equation yields:

mg - T = ma

mg - Ia/R² = ma

Consequently, we find that mg =  Ia/R² + ma

Therefore, a (I/R² + m) = mg

This results in: a = mg / (I/R² + m)

Next, we aim to express T as:

mg - T = ma

which simplifies to mg - ma  = T

Rearranging gives mg - m²g / (I/R² + m) = T

Thus, we arrive at: mg - mg / (1 + I / m R²) = T

For part (b), T =  Ia/R²

and for part (c), the moment of inertia of a hollow cylinder calculates to:

I = 1/2  M (R² - (R² / 4))

This simplifies to 3/4 x 1/2 MR², yielding 3/8 MR²

Thus, I / R² = 3/8 M

When we substitute, we find a = mg / (3/8 M + m)

and subsequently T =  Ia/R²

= 3/8 MR² × mg / (3/8 M + m) × 1/R²

Results in: \frac{3mMg}{(3M +8m)}
