Each of the following statements is arguably true of thermometers. Which of them is most helpful to keep in mind if you are cond

ucting an experiment to measure the specific heat of a material? Group of answer choices It may take a few minutes for a thermometer to come into equilibrium with its surroundings. The temperature reported by a thermometer is never precisely the same as its surroundings. A thermometer can only report information about its own temperature. By definition, the temperature of the surrounding environment is exactly what the thermometer reports.

Answer:

The temperature reported by a thermometer is never precisely the same as its surroundings

Explanation:

In this experiment to determine the specific heat of a material the theory explains that when a heat interchange takes place between two bodies that were having different temperatures at the start, the quantity of heat the warmer body looses is equal to that gained by the cooler body to reach the equilibrium temperature. <u>This is true only if no heat is lost or gained from the surrounding.</u> If heat is gained or lost from the surrounding environment, the temperature readings by the thermometer will be incorrect. The experimenter should therefore keep in mind that for accurate results, the temperature recorded by the thermometer is similar to that of the surrounding at the start of the experiment and if it differs then note that there is either heat gained or lost to the environment.

Answer:

The average densities of both matches the expected density for objects made from water ice.

Explanation:

Charon's density is 1.2 to 1.3 g / cm3, while Pluto's density is 1.8 to 2.1 g / cm3. This was discovered in many researches and measurements of these two celestial bodies, with the objective of understanding them and promoting efficient scientific knowledge.

With the measurements of the average densities between pluto and Charon it was possible to conclude several statements about them. Firstly, it is possible to see that the two formed independently and at different times, in addition to indicating the existence of few rocks in charon, which is consistent with the average density of objects made mostly of water ice.

Suppose you are drinking root beer from a conical paper cup. The cup has a diameter of 10 centimeters and a depth of 13 centimet
sveta [45]

Answer:

The level of the root beer is dropping at a rate of 0.08603 cm/s.

Explanation:

The volume of the cone is :

V=\frac {1}{3}\times \pi\times r^2\times h

Where, V is the volume of the cone

r is the radius of the cone

h is the height of the cone

The ratio of the radius and the height remains constant in overall the cone.

Thus, given that, r = d / 2 = 10 / 2 cm = 5 cm

h = 13 cm

r / h = 5 / 13

r = {5 / 13} h

V=\frac {1}{3}\times \frac {22}{7}\times ({{{\frac {5}{13}\times h}}})^2\times h

V=\frac {550}{3549}\times h^3

Also differentiating the expression of volume w.r.t. time as:

\frac {dV}{dt}=\frac {550}{3549}\times 3\times h^2\times \frac {dh}{dt}

Given: \frac {dV}{dt} = -4 cm³/sec (negative sign to show leaving)

h = 10 cm

So,

-4=\frac{550}{3549}\times 3\times {10}^2\times \frac {dh}{dt}

\frac{55000}{1183}\times \frac {dh}{dt}=-4

\frac {dh}{dt}=-0.08603\ cm/s

<u>The level of the root beer is dropping at a rate of 0.08603 cm/s.</u>

A circular coil of wire of radius 5.0 cm has 20 turns and carries a current of 2.0 A. The coil lies in a magnetic field of magni
Korvikt [17]

Answer:a. Magnetic dipole moment is 0.3412Am²

b. Torque is zero(0)N.m

Explanation: The magnetic dipole moment U is given as the product of the number of turns n times the current I times the area A

That is,

U = n*I*A

But Area A is given as pi*radius² since it is a circular coil

Radius given is 5cm converting to meter we divide by 100 so we have our radius to be 0.05m. So area A is

A = 3.142*(0.05)² =7.86*EXP {-3} m²

Current I is 2 A

Number of turns is 20

So magnetic dipole moment U is

U = 20*2*7.86*EXP {-3}=0.3142A.m²

b. Torque is given as the cross product of the magnetic field B and magnetic dipole moment U

Torque = B x U =B*U*Sine(theta)

But since the magnetic field is directed parallel to the plane of the coil from the question, it means that the angle between them is zero and sine zero is equals 0(zero) if you substitute that into the formula for torque you will find out that your torque would equals zero(0)N.m

A 3 kilogram cat is resting on top of a bookshelf that is 1 meters high. What is the cat’s gravitational potential energy relati
AVprozaik [17]

We have: Gravitational Potential Energy (U) = mgh

Here, m = 3 Kg

g = 9.8 m/s²        [ constant value for earth system ]

h = 3 m


Substitute their values into the expression:

U = 3 × 9.8 × 3

U = 88.2 J


In short, Your Answer would be 88.2 Joules
