THEORETICALLY: An absolute vacuum has no mass contained. In empty space there is no mass, so an absolute vacuum is empty space and empty space is an absolute vacuum. There is no difference. Although, there may be energy passing through the empty space or vacuum in the form of electromagnetic waves, or gravitational or magnetic fields.

What is a Vacuum in kilo pascal?

Depends on If it's absolute or relative. Vacuum in any unit is zero in absolute pressure. Vacuum in any unit is -normal air pressure in relative pressure.


What is the absolute pressure if vacuum gauge reads 20 inches and barometer reads 30.71?

To calculate the absolute pressure, first convert the vacuum gauge reading to pressure in inches of mercury (inHg). Since the vacuum gauge reads 20 inches, the absolute pressure is the barometric pressure minus the vacuum gauge reading: (30.71 , \text{inHg} - 20 , \text{inHg} = 10.71 , \text{inHg}). Therefore, the absolute pressure is 10.71 inches of mercury.


What Compared to the speed of microwaves in a vacuum the speed of x rays in a vacuum is?

The speed of X-rays in a vacuum is the same as the speed of microwaves in a vacuum, as both travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (or about 186,282 miles per second). This is true for all forms of electromagnetic radiation in a vacuum, regardless of their frequency or wavelength. Therefore, there is no difference in speed between X-rays and microwaves when in a vacuum.


What is the large space surrounding the atomic nucleus that is orbiting electrons that can be found?

This space is only absolute vacuum.


Does a gas escape through a tiny opening into a vacuum during effusion?

Yes, a gas can escape through a tiny opening into a vacuum during effusion. Effusion is the process by which gas molecules pass through a small opening into a vacuum due to their random motion. This happens because of the difference in pressure between the gas inside and the vacuum outside.

What is the difference between a vacuum and an implosion?

An absolute vacuum is purely theoretical, and is an utter absence of matter. An implosion is essentially a violent inward collapse.


What is the difference between absolute and gauge pressure?

Absolute pressure is measured relative to a perfect vacuum, while gauge pressure is measured relative to atmospheric pressure.


What is the difference between gauge pressure and absolute pressure?

Gauge pressure is the pressure measured relative to atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure is the pressure measured relative to a perfect vacuum.

What is the difference between back pressure and absolute pressure in steam turbine?

Back pressure is the small amount of vacuum that is created when the used steam condenses from the turbine back into re-usable water.


What is difference between absolute permittivity and relative permittivity of medium?

The absolute permittivity of a medium is its relative permittivity multiplied by the vacuum permittivity. The absolute permittivity is a proportionality constant between the electric and displacement field with units of Farad/meters (in SI units). This number is usually very small (e.g. for air: 0.000 000 000 008 85 F/m). The relative permittivity is a unit-less number scaled upward to present nicer numbers (e.g. for air: 1.0005). To get the absolute permittivity from the relative permittivity one should multiply with the vacuum permittivity: 8.85418781... E-12 F/m.


What is the formula for vaccum force?

The formula for vacuum force can be calculated as: Vacuum force = Pressure difference x Area Where the pressure difference is the difference in pressure between the vacuum and the surrounding atmosphere, and the area is the surface area over which the force is acting.


Is there a difference in cleaning efficiency between a canister vacuum and a broom-style vacuum?

No, the efficiency lies in the suction and brush types.


What role does pressure play in the functioning of a vacuum?

Pressure plays a crucial role in the functioning of a vacuum by creating a difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the vacuum. This pressure difference allows the vacuum to suck in air or other substances, creating a low-pressure environment inside the vacuum.

What is the difference between a vacuum cleaner and a vacuum?

A vacuum cleaner is a machine used to clean floors by sucking up dirt and debris, while a vacuum refers to a space devoid of matter or air.


What is the difference between international standards and absolute standards?

The question isn't as clear as it could be, but making some hopefully educated guesses about what you mean: International standards are those agreed upon by several countries. For example, the kilogram and the meter are international standards. Absolute standards are things that don't need to be agreed upon because they just are what they are. The speed of light in a vacuum, for example, is an absolute standard. The charge on an electron is an absolute standard.
