Why must objects be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance?

Physics
1 answer:
zubka84 [21]3 years ago
5 0
Objects should be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance because it could damage the balance. Also, because it would give you wrong reading of the mass. Hot objects would warm the air around it. A warm air would expand and would produce convection as it rises causing to give the object a mass that is less than the actual. Another reason would be it would cause instability in the readings, the mass would fluctuate every now and then due to the convection currents around the object. It is always recommended to weigh the masses of objects that are in room temperature.

When we press ball inside water it tries to come upwards, why​
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

hope this helps

Explanation:

an object that's less dense than water floats (eg , ball) because the water it displaces weighs more than the object does. If you've ever tried pushing a beach ball underwater , you've felt this principle in action. As we push the ball down , it pushes back up .

This photograph shows a person using a type of wave technology. Which need or want does this technology meet?
cricket20 [7]

The photography that shows a person using a type of wave technology, allows people to see very small objects clearly. D as it is a microscope

<h3>Why are wave technologies important?</h3>

Wave technologies are important because;

  • They create waves that are more perfect than humans can provide by themselves.
  • Certain inventions use waves to enhance human senses like hearing, sight and touch.

Thus, the photography that shows a person using a type of wave technology, allows people to see very small objects clearly. D as it is a microscope.

Two long, parallel wires each carry the same current I, but the two currents are anti-parallel. The two wires are a distance r a
Georgia [21]

Answer:

8 x 10⁻⁷ x  I / r

Explanation:

Two parallel long wires are carrying current I . Let the direction be towards the right in the farthest and towards the left in the nearest. Magnetic field due to current I  at a  distance d is given by the expression

B = μ₀ 2 I / 4π d

I the present case distance d = r/2  

Magnetic field due to one wire at point d = r/2  is

B₁ = μ₀ 2 I / (4π r / 2 )

= 10⁻⁷ x 4I / r

Magnetic field due to the other wire at point d = r/2  is

B₂ = μ₀ 2 I / (4π r / 2 )

= 10⁻⁷ x 4I / r

Direction of magnetic field due to both the wires at the mid  point P will be same . It will be in downward direction in the given scenario

So total magnetic field

B = B₁ + B₂

= 2 x  10⁻⁷ x 4I / r

= 8 x 10⁻⁷ x  I / r
