In a thermostat, what property of the bimetallic coil allows it to contract and expand? The two metals absorb different amounts

of thermal energy. The two metals are placed perpendicular to each other. The two metals burn at different temperatures. The two metals turn into liquids when absorbing energy.

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.

IN WHAT WAY HAS TECHNOLOGY USED ABOARD THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION BENEFITTED HUMANS BACK ON EARTH?
drek231 [11]

Answer

The ways are;

• By commercializing low earth orbit

• By supporting water purification efforts worldwide

• By bringing space station ultrasound equipment on earth

• By improving eye surgery with space hardware

Explanation

There is a revolutionary commercial pathways that is currently opening access to space.For example, NASA is purchasing commercial cargo resupply to space station which enable U.S business to develop a competition in selling services to others while freeing NASA resources for deep space exploration. Using  technology developed in space, the Water Security Corporation has deployed systems using NASA water-processing technology to ensure drinkable water availability for human survival. Medical care in remote regions is now  facilitated by use of small ultrasound units, tele-medicine  and remote guided methods similar to those used in space. The Eye Tracking Device experiment has enable researchers to have an insight into corrective laser surgeries.

Answer:

The angle of banked curve that makes the reliance on friction unnecessary is

\arcsin(v^2/(gR))

Explanation:

In order the car to stay on the curve without friction, the net force in the direction of radius should be equal or smaller than the centripetal force. Otherwise the car could slide off the curve.

The only force in the direction of radius is the sine component of the weight of the car

w_r = mg\sin(\theta)

The cosine component is equivalent to the normal force, which we will not be using since friction is unnecessary.

Newton’s Second Law states that

F_{net} = ma = mg\sin(\theta)\\\sin(\theta) = a/g

Also, the car is making a circular motion:

a = \frac{v^2}{R}

Combining the equations:

\sin(\theta) = \frac{a}{g} = \frac{v^2/R}{g} = \frac{v^2}{gR}

Finally the angle is

\arcsin(v^2/(gR))
