A standard mercury thermometer consists of a hollow glasscylinder, the stem, attached to a bulb filled with mercury. As thetempe

rature of the thermometer changes, the mercury expands (orcontracts) and the height of the mercury column in the stemchanges. Marks are made on the stem to denote the height of themercury column at different temperatures such as the freezing point(0 C ) and the boiling point (100 C ) of water. Othertemperature markings are interpolated between these twopoints.Due to concerns about the toxic properties of mercury,many thermometers are made with other liquids. Consider drainingthe mercury from the above thermometer and replacing it withanother, such as alcohol. Alcohol has a coefficient of volumeexpansion 5.6 times greater than that of mercury. The amount ofalcohol is adjusted such that when placed in ice water, thethermometer accurately records 0 C. No other changes are made tothe thermometer.Part AWhen the alcohol thermometer is placed in 22 C water,what temperature will the thermometer record?less than 22 C22 Cgreater than 22 CPart BWhen the alcohol thermometer is placed in a -12 Csubstance, what temperature will the thermometer record?less than-12 C-12 Cgreater than -12 CPart CIf you want to design a thermometer with the same spacingbetween temperature markings as a mercury thermometer, how must thediameter of the inner hollow cylinder of the stem of the alcoholthermometer compare to that of the mercury thermometer?

What does the term “energy crisis” mean?
Zielflug [23.3K]
An energy crisis<span> is any significant (bottleneck; logistics; or price rise) in the supply of energy resources to an economy. In popular literature, it often refers to one of the energy sources used at a certain time and place, in particular those that supply national electricity grids or those used as fuel in vehicles.</span>

Consider a block on frictionless ice. Starting from rest, the block travels a distance din
sweet [91]

Answer:

<em>The distance is now 4d</em>

Explanation:

<u>Mechanical Force</u>

According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:

F = m.a

Where a is the acceleration of the object.

The acceleration can be calculated by solving for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{F}{m}

Once we know the acceleration, we can calculate the distance traveled by the block as follows:

\displaystyle d = vo.t+\frac{at^2}{2}

If the block starts from rest, vo=0:

\displaystyle d = \frac{at^2}{2}

Substituting the value of the acceleration:

\displaystyle d = \frac{\frac{F}{m}t^2}{2}

Simplifying:

\displaystyle d = \frac{Ft^2}{2m}

When a force F'=4F is applied and assuming the mass is the same, the new acceleration is:

\displaystyle a'=\frac{4F}{m}

And the distance is now:

\displaystyle d' = \frac{4Ft^2}{2m}

Dividing d'/d:

\displaystyle \frac{d' }{d}=\frac{\frac{4Ft^2}{2m}}{\frac{Ft^2}{2m}}

Simplifying:

\displaystyle \frac{d' }{d}=4

Thus:

d' = 4d

The distance is now 4d

Which list of properties of alternation current is the most likely reason it was chosen over direct current to provide electrici
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

- Direct current is a current in which electrons flow in one direction only

- Alternating current is a current in which the direction of the electron flow reverses periodically - so, half a cycle forward, half a cycle backward

There are several advantages of using alternating currents for the transmission of electricity across a country, over large distances. The main advantages are:

- The voltage of alternating currents can be easily increased/decreased by using transformers. For instance, a transformer is used at the beginning of the transmission line to increase the voltage (electricity is transmitted at high voltage in order to reduce dissipated power), and then another transformer is used before the electricity enters the houses, in order to decrease the voltage. Transformers only work with alternating currents.

- It is easy to interrupt the flow of an alternating current, because its value naturally becomes zero every half a cycle, so this is useful in case the current must be interrupted.

A projectile is launched with an initial velocity of (40 m/s), at an angle of (30°) above
zlopas [31]

Answer:

330.5  m

Explanation:

In this case, the object is launched horizontally at 30° with an initial velocity of 40 m/s .

The maximum height will be calculated as;

h=\frac{v^2_isin^2\alpha }{2g}

where ∝ is the angle of launch = 30°

vi= initial launch velocity = 40 m/s

g= 10 m/s²

h= 40²*sin²40° / 2*10

h={1600*0.4132 }/ 20

h= 661.1/2 = 330.5  m

If you throw a raw egg against a wall, you'll break it, but if you throw it with the same speed into a sagging sheet it won't br
SashulF [63]
<span>The egg doesn't break when it hits the sheet because the impact time is longer. Momentum means the egg is slowed rather than coming to an abrubt halt. The softer the object that the egg hits, the longer the time it takes to break. A sheet is so soft that the force is never high enough for the egg to break.</span>
