The mercury thermometer operates on the principle of dilation.

<h3>What is the working principle of a mercury thermometer?</h3>

Like all liquids, mercury expands as it is heated, so it moves along the thermometer tube, determining the temperature. Its expansion rate is calibrated on the glass scale, expansion is linear and can be accurately calibrated.

Mercury allows it to be used in a thermometer by its liquid expansion fast enough to measure something so that it still maintains an accurate measurement.

A force of 1200 N is applied to a drum of radius 80 cm which has a 12 kg mass, m1, attached by a cord
maksim [4K]

Answer:

1.022 x 103 N.m

Explanation:

Solution

Given:

The weight of the block of mass m₂ is :

w₂ = m₂*g

Where

w₂ = 39 x 9.8 = 382.2 N

Then,

The weight of the block of mass m₁

w₁= m₁*g;

so,

w₁ = 12 x 9.8 = 117.5 N

Thus,

The tension wrapped in cord on drum (80 cm) T₁ = F - w₁

Now,

T₁ = 1200 - 117.5

T₁ = 1082.5 N

The tension  wrapped in the cord on drum (41 cm) T₂ = w₂;

T₂ = 382.2 N

Hence,

We calculate net torque on the center of the drum:

The net torque = T₁ x 0.8 + T₂ x 0.41;

= 1082.5 x 0.8 + 382.2 x 0.41;

= 1.022 x 103 N.m

Therefore, the resulting torque applied to the system is 1.022 x 103 N.m

Suppose a logs mass was 5kg. After burning, the mass of the ash is 1 kg. Explain what may have happened to the other 4kg?
Helen [10]
Well, we know that mass is conserved, so the missing 4 kg couldn't
just disappear.  It had to go somewhere.

It may have left the burning log in the form of hot gases and smoke particles.

A ball is kicked from the top of a building with a velocity of 50 m/s and lands 165 m away from the base of the building.
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

3.1 s

Explanation:

we can assume that this motion has a horizontal projectile motion.

projectile motion happens when  an object is subjected to only gravity. Gravity acts to influence the vertical motion of the projectile, it makes a  vertical acceleration.  

The horizontal motion of the projectile is the result of the constant velocity of the object.We assume no acceleration in the horizontal direction.  

applying motion equations

where

s - distance

u - initial velocity

a-acceleration

t - time

s = ut + (1/2)at²

→ 165 = 50t + 0 (as no acceleration is in horizontal direction)

t = 3.1 s
