Answer:

The two metals absorb different amounts of thermal energy.

Explanation:

Temperature controlling device in an electric equipment like a heater, is called a thermostat.

A bimetallic strip contains two different metals. Each metal has its own characteristic property of expansion or cooling. Coefficient of thermal expansion has a different value for different metals.

The metal that has a higher expansion coefficients will expand more when  heated, compared to the metal that has a lower coefficient of expansion.

In a thermostat used in a heating circuit, the electric contact is cut off due to the bending of the bimetallic strip, when the desired temperature is reached.

Hello!

In a thermostat, the property of the bimetallic coil that allows it to contract and expand is that The two metals absorb different amounts of thermal energy. 

This bimetallic coil is used to transform thermal energy into mechanical movement. Two metals with different thermal expansivity are joined together parallelly and the changes of temperature cause bending in different directions depending on if the temperature is rising or descending. 

The differences in the thermal energy absorption of the two metals are the basis for the mechanism of this device.

What is the difference between compound, element and mixture?
defon
Compound; consists of atoms of two or more different elements bound together,can be broken down into a simpler type of matter (elements) by chemical means (but not by physical means) has properties that are different from its component elements, and always contains the same ratio of its component atoms.Mixtures; Note that a mixture:consists of two or more different elements and/or compounds physically intermingled, can be separated into its components by physical means, and often retains many of the properties of its components.

An archer defending a castle is on an 15.5 m high wall. He shoots an arrow straight down at 22.8 m/s. How much time does it take
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

  about 602 milliseconds

Explanation:

The motion can be approximated by the equation ...

  y = -4.9t^2 -22.8t +15.5

where t is the time since the arrow was released, and y is the distance above the ground.

When y=0, the arrow has hit the ground.

Using the quadratic formula, we find ...

  t = (-(-22.8) ± √((-22.8)^2 -4(-4.9)(15.5)))/(2(-4.9))

  = (22.8 ± √823.64)/(-9.8)

The positive solution is ...

  t ≈ 0.60195193

It takes about 602 milliseconds for the arrow to reach the ground.

When all else remains the same, what effect would decreasing the focal length have on a convex lens?
aniked [119]
<h3>Answer;</h3>

<u>It would make the lens stronger. </u>

<h3>Explanation;</h3>
  • The focal length is the distance between the optical center or the center of the lens to the focal point of a convex or concave lens.
  • The power of the convex lens is lens ability to undertake refraction or bend light. It is given as the reciprocal of focal length.
  • Power of the lens = 1/ f; therefore the smaller the focal length the higher the power and the larger the focal length the lower the power.
  • Thus; decreasing the focal length of a convex lens makes the lens stronger.

A negative charge, q1, of 6 µC is 0. 002 m north of a positive charge, q2, of 3 µC. What is the magnitude and direction of the e
prohojiy [21]

Force on the particle is defined as the application of the force field of one particle on another particle. The magnitude and direction of the electrical force will be 4.05×10⁴N towards the north.

<h3>What is electrical force?</h3>

Force on the particle is defined as the application of the force field of one particle on another particle. It is a type of virtual force.

The given data in the problem is

q₁ is the negative charge = 6 µC=6×10⁻⁶ C

q₂ is the positive charge = 3 µC=3×10⁻⁶ C

r is the distance between the charges=0.002 m

F_E is the electric force =?

The value of electric force will be;

\rm F_E= \frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2} \\\\ F_E= \frac{9\times 10^9\times 6\times 10^{-6}\times3\times10^{-6}}{(0.002)^2}\\\\ \rm F_E=4.05\times10^4\;N

Hence the magnitude and direction of the electrical force will be 4.05×10⁴N towards the north.

It’s C
Cause Impulse is found by multiplying the force and change in time (which is simply time)
So if you rearrange the equation for time you end up dividing Impulse by force.
