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).

All waves change speed when they enter a new medium, but they don't always bend. When does bending occur?
Anastaziya [24]
Bending occurs when one side of the wave enters the new medium before the other side of the wave. ... The bending occurs because the two sides of the wave are traveling at different speeds.

A block has a volume of 0.09 m3 and a density of 4,000 kg/m3. What's the force of gravity acting on the block in water?
12345 [234]

                                       Density = (mass) / (volume)

                                4,000 kg/m³ = (mass) / (0.09 m³)

Multiply each side
by  0.09 m³ :           (4,000 kg/m³) x (0.09 m³) = mass

                                 mass = 360 kg .

Force of gravity = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)

                           = (360 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

                           = (360 x 9.8)  kg-m/s²

                           =   3,528 newtons . 

That's the force of gravity on this block, and it doesn't matter
what else is around it.  It could be in a box on the shelf or at
the bottom of a swimming pool . . . it's weight is 3,528 newtons
(about 793.7 pounds).

Now, it won't seem that heavy when it's in the water, because
there's another force acting on it in the upward direction, against
gravity.  That's the buoyant force due to the displaced water.

The block is displacing 0.09 m³ of water.  Water has 1,000 kg of
mass in a m³, so the block displaces 90 kg of water.  The weight
of that water is  (90) x (9.8) = 882 newtons (about 198.4 pounds),
and that force tries to hold the block up, against gravity.

So while it's in the water, the block seems to weigh

       (3,528  -  882) = 2,646 newtons  (about 595.2 pounds) .

But again ... it's not correct to call that the "force of gravity acting
on the block in water".  The force of gravity doesn't change, but
there's another force, working against gravity, in the water.

A race car has a maximum speed of 0.104 km/s .What is this speed in miles per hour ?
sweet [91]

Answer:

232.641374 mph

Explanation:

A race car has a maximum speed of 0.104km/s

Let X represent the speed in miles per hour

Therefore the speed in miles per hour can be calculated as follows

1 km/s = 2,236.936292 mph

0.104km/s = X

X = 0.104 × 2,236.936292

X = 232.641374

Hence the speed in miles per hour is 232.641374 mph

Is the average speed of a vehicles vector or a scalar quantity? A) vectorB) scalar
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

As the speed is a scalar quantity as it has the only magnitude in it. Therefore, the average speed is also stated as a scalar quantity.

Hence, the correct answer is (B)
