Suppose you have a barometer with mercury and a barometer with water. How does the height of water (hwater) compare with the height of mercury (hmercury) in each of these barometers when they are placed side-by-side under the same atmospheric conditions?

Large electric fields in cell membranes cause ions to move through the cell wall. the field strength in a typical membrane is 1.0 x 10 7 n/c. what is the magnitude of the force on a calcium ion with charge +e? what is its acceleration? is it possible for a particle with the same charge as as calcium to have a different acceleration if placed at this location? what would change the acceleration: mass of the particle? diameter of the particle?
