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.

AnnyKZ [126]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

The hoist is in static equilibrium supported by tensions in the two ropes.

For horizontal force balance, obtain
T₃ cos 50 = T₂ cos 38
0.6428T₃ = 0.788T₂
T₃ = 1.2259T₂             (1)

For vertical force balance, obtain
T₂ sin 38 + T₃ sin 50 = 350
0.6157T₂ + 0.766T₃ = 350     (2)

Substitute (1) into (2).
0.6157T₂ + 0.766(1.2259T₂) = 350
1.5547T₂ = 350
T₂ = 225.124 N
T₃ = 1.2259(225.124) = 275.979

Answer:
T₂ = 225.12 N
T₃ = 275.98 N

Create the following matrix H:
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

a) {[1.25  1.5  1.75  2.5  2.75]

    [35  30  25  20  15]  }

b) {[1.5  2  40]

    [1.75  3  35]

    [2.25  2  25]

    [2.75  4  15]}

Explanation:

Matrix H: {[1.25  1.5  1.75  2  2.25  2.5  2.75]

                [1  2  3  1  2  3  4]

                [45  40  35  30  25  20  15]}

Its always important to get the dimensions of your matrix right. "Roman Columns" is the mental heuristic I use since a matrix is defined by its rows first and then its column such that a 2 X 5 matrix has 2 rows and 5 columns.

Next, it helps in the beginning to think of a matrix as a grid, labeling your rows  with letters (A, B, C, ...) and your columns with numbers (1, 2, 3, ...).

For question a, we just want to take the elements A1, A2, A3, A6 and A7 from matrix H and make that the first row of matrix G. And then we will take the elements B3, B4, B5, B6 and B7 from matrix H as our second row in matrix G.

For question b, we will be taking columns from matrix H and making them rows in our matrix K. The second column of H looks like this:

{[1.5]

[2]

[40]}

Transposing this column will make our first row of K look like this:

{[1.5  2  40]}

Repeating for columns 3, 5 and 7 will give us the final matrix K as seen above.

The heat required to melt a piece of copper is (82 x 10 ^5 J). The heat of fusion of copper is (2.05×10 ^5 J/ kg). What is the m
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

Heat of Fusion = 2.05 * 10^5 J / kg      watch the units.

Heat to actually melt the copper = 82 10^5 J

Formula

Mass of copper = Heat / Heat of Fusion

Solution

Mass of copper = 82*10^5 J / (2.05 * 10^5 J / kg)

Mass of copper = 40 kg

Notice that the kg is in the denominator of the second fraction. The rules of fractions would tell you the 1/1 / / 1 /kg . You take the right fraction and turn it upside down and multiply. 1 / 1 * kg/1 = 1* kg / 1*1 which is just kg.

Answer 40 kg of copper

Ivenika [448]
The focal length would likely decrease as the refractive index and the increase when the curvature radius of the lens increases. The decrease in focal length happens since a higher index of refraction would signify that the rays of the sun striking to an object would tend to bend more.
