0.02 °C is the resolution of thermometer B while measuring temperature.

Thermometer A= 87.6

Thermometer B=87.4°C

resolution= 87.6- 87.4°C = 0.02 °C

Heat or cold are measured in terms of temperature. It can be defined in terms of a variety of arbitrary scales and shows how heat energy naturally moves from a hotter to a cooler substance (one at a lower temperature). Even if a match burns at a considerably greater temperature than an iceberg, an iceberg has a much higher overall heat energy. The energy of a thermodynamic system differs from temperature.

Temperature, along with pressure, density, and other related qualities, is referred to as an intense property—one that is independent of the amount of material being addressed—in contrast to broad characteristics like mass or volume.

A proton has been accelerated from rest through a potential difference of -1000 v . part a what is the proton's kinetic energy,

wlad13 [49]

We can apply the law of conservation of energy here. The total energy of the proton must remain constant, so the sum of the variation of electric potential energy and of kinetic energy of the proton must be zero:
$\Delta U + \Delta K=0$
which means
$\Delta K = - \Delta U$
The variation of electric potential energy is equal to the product between the charge of the proton (q=1eV) and the potential difference ( $\Delta V=-1000 V$ ):
$\Delta U = q \Delta V=(1 eV)(-1000 V)=-1000 eV$
Therefore, the kinetic energy gained by the proton is
$\Delta K = -(-1000 eV)=1000 eV$
And since the initial kinetic energy of the proton was zero (it started from rest), then this 1000 eV corresponds to the final kinetic energy of the proton.

An object propelled upwards with an acceleration of 2.0 m / s ^ 2 is launched from rest. After 6 seconds the fuel runs out. Dete

dezoksy [38]

Answer:43.34 m

Explanation:

Given

acceleration(a) $=2 m/s^2$

Initial Velocity(u)=0 m/s

After 6 s fuel runs out

Velocity after 6 s

v=u+at

$v=0+2\times 6=12 m/s$

After this object will start moving under gravity

height reached in first 6 s

$s=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}$

$s=0+\frac{2\times 6^2}{2}$

s=36 m

After fuel run out distance traveled in upward direction is

$v^2-u^2=2as_0$

here v=0

u=12 m/s

$a=9.8 m/s^2$

$0-12^2=2(-9.8)(s)$

$s_0=\frac{144}{2\times 9.8}=7.34 m$

$s+s_0=36+7.34=43.34 m$

What did physicist James Joule's famous paddle wheel experiment demonstrate?

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer

A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water

Explanation

James Joule allowed some water to fall from a height of 1 foot. the water would turn a paddle wheel at the bottom causing a temperature of water to raise.

The height form which the water fell, mass and the temperature of water was measured and used to calculate mechanical equivalent of heat.

From the choices given the best answer is A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water.
