Explain how the fixed points are used when calibrating a thermometer. ​

Physics

8090 [49]2 years ago

<u>Answer:</u>

First, the thermometer is dipped into boiling water, and the mercury inside the thermometer rises to a high level, called the boiling point. This level is then marked as 100°C. The thermometer is then dipped into melting ice, which causes the mercury level to fall to a point called the ice point. This point is then marked as 0°C. The length of the thermometer from the 0°C mark to the 100°C point is then divided into 100 equal sections, and the rest of the levels are marked accordingly.

how much work does tension do on the laptop as it moves 2.0 mm ? express your answer with the appropriate units.
8090 [49]

The work done by tension force of 14N applied on the laptop by a rope as it moves 2.0 mm up the slope is 0.028 J

W = F d cos θ

W = Work done

F = Force

d = Displacement

θ = Angle between force and displacement vector

F = 14 N

d = 2 mm = 0.002 m

θ = 0

W = 14 * 0.002 * 1

W = 0.028 J

Work done is the change in energy of an object. So if an object moves a certain distance, work is done on the object. If the force and displacement are perpendicular to each other there is no work done on the object.

Therefore, the work done by tension on the laptop is 0.028 J

A 12.65 g sample of a radioactive substance is allowed to decay for 17.22 min. At that time, the sample weighed 3.115 g. What is
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

8.61 min

Explanation:

original mass= 12.65

first half life = 12.65/2 = 6.325

second half life = 6.325/2 = 3.1625

Note : 3.1625 is the closest to the value (3.115) given so we work with it

total time for decay =17.22

therefore two decays = 17.22/2= 8.61
