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

Reika [66]

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.

The driver of a 1750 kg car traveling on a horizontal road at 110 km/h suddenly applies the brakes. Due to a slippery pavement,

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer: a=-2.4525 m/s^2

d=s=190.3 m

Explanation:The only force that is stopping the car and causing deceleration is the frictional force Fr

Fr = 25% of weight

W=mg

W=1750*9.81

W=17167.5

Hence

$Fr=\frac{25}{100} * -17167.5\\\\Fr=-4291.875 N$

Frictional force is negative as it acts in opposite direction

According to newton second law of motion

F=ma

hence

$a=Fr/m$

$a=-4291.875/1750\\a=-2.4525$

given

u= 110 km/h

u=110*1000/3600

u=30.55 m/s

to get t we know that final velocity v=0

$v^2=u^2+2as\\0=30.55^2-2*2.4525*s\\s=190.34m$

One end of a metal rod is in contact with a thermal reservoir at 745. K, and the other end is in contact with a thermal reservoi

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

a) $S_1=-9.65}\ J/K$

b) $S_2=71.18\ J/K$

c) 0 J/K

d)S= 61.53 J/K

Explanation:

Given that

T₁ = 745 K

T₂ = 101 K

Q= 7190 J

The entropy change of reservoir 745 K

$S_1=-\dfrac{7190}{745}\ J/K$

Negative sign because heat is leaving.

$S_1=-9.65}\ J/K$

The entropy change of reservoir 101 K

$S_2=\dfrac{7190}{101}\ J/K$

$S_2=71.18\ J/K$

The entropy change of the rod will be zero.

The entropy change of the system

S= S₁ + S₂

S = 71.18 - 9.65 J/K

S= 61.53 J/K

A net force, the magnitude of which is 3800 N, accelerates a 1260-kg vehicle for 10.0 s. The vehicle travels 50.0 m during this

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

SEE EXPLANATION

Explanation:

$p = \frac{fd}{t} \\ where \: \\p = power \\ f = force \\ d = distance \\ and \: t = time \\ \\ p = \frac{3800 \times 50}{10} \\ p = \frac{190000}{10} \\ p = 19000w$
