The displacement of Edward in the westerly direction is determined as 180.27 km.

<h3>Displacement of Edward</h3>

The displacement of Edward is calculated as follows;

R² = a² + b² - 2abcosθ

R² = 150² + 200² - 2(150 x 200) x cos60

R² = 32500

R = 180.27 km

Thus, the displacement of Edward in the westerly direction is determined as 180.27 km.

A ‘thermal tap’ used in a certain apparatus consists of a silica rod which
abruzzese [7]

Correct question is;

A thermal tap used in a certain apparatus consists of a silica rod which fits tightly inside an aluminium tube whose internal diameter is 8mm at 0°C.When the temperature is raised ,the fits is no longer exact. Calculate what change in temperature is necessary to produce a channel whose cross-sectional is equal to that of the tube of 1mm. (linear expansivity of silica = 8 × 10^(-6) /K and linear expansivity of aluminium = 26 × 10^(-6) /K).

Answer:

ΔT = 268.67K

Explanation:

We are given;

d1 = 8mm

d2 = 1mm

At standard temperature and pressure conditions, the temperature is 273K.

Thus; Initial temperature; T1 = 273K,

Using the combined gas law, we have;

P1×V1/T1 = P2×V2/T2

The pressure is constant and so P1 = P2. They will cancel out in the combined gas law to give:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Now, volume of the tube is given by the formula;V = Area × height = Ah

Thus;

V1 = (πd1²/4)h

V2 = (π(d2)²/4)h

Thus;

(πd1²/4)h/T1 = (π(d2)²/4)h/T2

π, h and 4 will cancel out to give;

d1²/T1 = (d2)²/T2

T2 = ((d2)² × T1)/d1²

T2 = (1² × T1)/8²

T2 = 273/64

T2 = 4.23K

Therefore, Change in temperature is; ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT = 273 - 4.23

ΔT = 268.67K

Thus, the temperature decreased to 268.67K

Which kind of force do you exert on an object when you pull it toward you?
jarptica [38.1K]

By definition we have to:

Applied force: It is the external force that acts directly on a body.

Therefore, we can say that if you have an object and push it towards yourself, you are exerting an external force on the object.

This external force was not acting on the object previously, therefore, it is a force that you are applying at that moment.

Answer:

you exert an Applied Force on an object when you pull it towards you

A. Applied Force
