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).

Sound with frequency 1300 Hz leaves a room through a doorway with a width of 1.03 m . At what minimum angle relative to the cent
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

  about 14.7°

Explanation:

The formula for the angle of the first minimum is ...

  sin(θ) = λ/a

where θ is the angle relative to the door centerline, λ is the wavelength of the sound, and "a" is the width of the door.

The wavelength of the sound is the speed of sound divided by the frequency:

  λ = (340 m/s)/(1300 Hz) ≈ 0.261538 m

Then the angle of interest is ...

  θ = arcsin(0.261538/1.03) ≈ 14.7°

At an angle of about 14.7°, someone outside the room will hear no sound.

Two or more velocities add by ____?<br><br> Plz help
VladimirAG [237]
By vector addition.
In fact, velocity is a vector, with a magnitude intensity, a direction and a verse, so we can't simply do an algebraic sum of the two (or more velocities). 
First we need to decompose each velocity on both x- and y-axis (if we are on a 2D-plane), then we should do the algebraic sum of all the components on the x- axis and of all the components on the y-axis, to find the resultants on x- and y-axis. And finally, the magnitude of the resultant will be given by
R= \sqrt{(R_x)^2+(R_y)^2}
where Rx and Rx are the resultants on x- and y-axis. The direction of the resultant will be given by
\tan \alpha =  \frac{R_y}{R_x}
where \alpha is its direction with respect to the x-axis.

A bird sits on a high-voltage power line with its feet 3.87 cm apart. The wire is made from aluminum, is 2.11 cm in diameter, an
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

ΔV=0.484mV

Explanation:

The potential difference across the end of conductor that obeys Ohms law:

ΔV=IR

Where I is current

R is resistance

The resistance of a cylindrical conductor is related to its resistivity p,Length L and cross section area A

R=(pL)/A

Given data

Length L=3.87 cm =0.0387m

Diameter d=2.11 cm =0.0211 m

Current I=165 A

Resistivity of aluminum p=2.65×10⁻⁸ ohms

So

ΔV=IR

=I(\frac{pL}{A})\\ =I(\frac{pL}{\pi r^{2} } )\\=I(\frac{pL}{\pi (d/2)^{2} } )\\=165A((\frac{(2.65*10^{-8})(0.0387m)}{\pi (0.0211m/2)^{2} } ))\\=4.84*10^{-4}V

ΔV=0.484mV
