What is temperature? how temperature can be measured​

Physics
1 answer:
german1 year ago
3 0

Answer:

Temperature is the kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.

Explanation:

The more kinetic energy a particle has the higher it's temperature. In the case of the atmosphere, which is what we are primarily concerned with in Meteorology, we measure this using a mercury thermometer (in certain situations we use an alcohol thermometer and of course modern times have given us things like dewcells and digital thermometers but we always go back to the mercury thermometer for accuracy).

What is the kinetic energy k of an electron with momentum 1.05×10−24 kilogram meters per second?
fiasKO [112]
Momentum = mv
where m is the mass of an electron and v is the velocity of the electron.

v = momentum ÷ m
   = (1.05×10∧-24)÷(9.1×10∧-31) = 1,153,846.154 m/s

kinetic energy = (mv∧2)÷2
                       = (9.1×10∧-31 × 1,153,846.154∧2) ÷2
                      = (1.21154×10∧-18) ÷ 2
                      = 6.05769×10∧-19 J

Mike is standing on the roof of a building looking at the roof of the neighboring building that is 15 meters away and 10 meters
amid [387]

Answer:

Part a)

t = 1.65 s

Part b)

x = 40.4 m

Since the distance of other building is 15 m so YES it can make it to other building

Part c)

v = 27.3 m/s

direction of velocity is given as

[tex]\theta = 26.35 degree

Explanation:

Part a)

acceleration due to gravity on this planet is 3/4 times the gravity on earth

So the acceleration due to gravity on this new planet is given as

a = \frac{3}{4}(9.81)

a = 7.36 m/s^2

now the vertical displacement covered by the canister is given as

y = 10 m

now by kinematics we have

y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

10 = \frac{1}{2}(7.36)t^2

t = 1.65 s

Part b)

Horizontal speed of the canister is given as

v_x = 24.5 m/s

now the distance moved by it

x = v_x t

x = 24.5 (1.65)

x = 40.4 m

Since the distance of other building is 15 m so YES it can make it to other building

Part c)

Final velocity in X direction will remains the same

v_x = 24.5 m/s

final velocity in Y direction

v_y = v_i + at

v_y = 0 + (7.36)(1.65)

v_y = 12.14 m/s

now magnitude of velocity is given as

v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}

v = \sqrt{24.5^2 + 12.14^2}

v = 27.3 m/s

direction of velocity is given as

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{v_y}{v_x}

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{12.14}{24.5}

[tex]\theta = 26.35 degree

Cindy saw her mother heating a wet pan on the stove. As the pan got hotter, the water on the outside began to dry. Why?
dlinn [17]

Answer:

As the temperature of materials increase, the objects find a phenomenon called change of phase.

This means that if you give enough heat to a liquid, this can change of state from liquid state to gas state (the water evaporates)

So the water in the pan reaches the evaporation temperature (around 100°C) and it starts to evaporate, this is why the water on the outside begins to "dry"

A 10 kg turkey, He kicks the 0.5 kg ball with a force of 50N for 0.2 seconds and the ball flies straight away horizontally from
Harman [31]

Answer:

a. 20m/s

b.50N

c. Turkey has a larger mass than the ball. Neglible final acceleration and therefore remains stationery.

Explanation:

a. Given the force as 50N, times as 0.2seconds and the weight of the ball as 0.5 kg, it's final velocity can be calculated as:

F\bigtriangleup t=m\bigtriangleup v\\\\50N\times 0.2s=0.5kg\times \bigtriangleup v\\\\\bigtriangleup v=2(50N\times0.2)\\\\=20m/s

Hence, the velocity of the ball after the kick is 20m/s

b.The force felt by the turkey:

#Applying Newton's 3rd Law of motion, opposite and equal reaction:

-The turkey felt a force of 50N but in the opposite direction to the same force felt by the ball.

c. Using the law of momentum conservation:

-Due to ther external forces exerted on the turkey, it remains stationery.

-The turkey has a larger mass than the ball. It will therefore have a negligible acceleration if any and thus remains stationery.

-Momentum is not conserved due to these external forces.

The number of different species in the biosphere or in a particular area is called
Arada [10]

Answer:

Biodiversity.

Explanation:

The number of different species in a particular area is known as biodiversity. Blue whales, plants, different kind of animals, and micro-organism living in an ocean is the example of biodiversity. In biodiversity each specie has its own role. For example, if a biodiversity has large number of plants (species), it will have many type of crops.
