Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

When a Mercury in a glass thermometer is put on flames the Glass bulb because of high coefficient of expansion expands and the mercury inside it descends( appears to descend). As soon as the heated reaches mercury its expands faster than the glass and hence its level rises in the glass( α for mercury is greater than α for glass , α here is coefficient of thermal expansion)

Mercury expands when heat comes into contact with it. at first, the thermometer touches the flame and gains heat, expanding. hence, more space inside the thermometer. the mercury has more space, so descends. finally, the heat passes through the glass after a while, as glass is a poor conductor of heat. the mercury gains heat and expands, rising.
hope this helps!

2. An athlete of average size is hanging from the end of a 20 m long rope, which has a mass of 4 kg and is attached to a hook in
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

  t = 0.319 s

Explanation:

With the sudden movement of the athlete a pulse is formed that takes time to move along the rope, the speed of the rope is given by

             v = √T/λ

Linear density is

           λ = m / L

           λ = 4/20

           λ = 0.2 kg / m

The tension in the rope is equal to the athlete's weight, suppose it has a mass of m = 80 kg

           T = W = mg

           T = 80 9.8

           T = 784 N

The pulse rate is

          v = √(784 / 0.2)

          v = 62.6 m / s

The time it takes to reach the hook can be searched with kinematics

          v = x / t

          t = x / v

          t = 20 / 62.6

          t = 0.319 s

Standing waves can ruin the acoustics of a concert hall if there is excessive reflection of the sound waves that the performers
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The answer to the questions is;

In terms of standing waves, the listener moves from a location with high amplitude to one with lower amplitude or vibration (anti-node to node)

The distance 4.1 cm is equivalent to λ/4

Explanation:

For standing waves we have is a stationary wave comprising of two opposite direction moving waves that have equal amplitude and frequency, resulting in the superimposition of the waves. As such certain points are fixed along the wave path that is the peaks amplitude of the wave oscillation is constant at a particular point. A node occurring at a point and an anti-node occurring at another fixed point

When the listener moves 4.1 cm he or she has left the anti-node to the node hence the faintness of the sound

The distance from the node to the anti-node is 1/4 wavelength, or 1/4×λ

Therefore 4.1 cm is λ/4

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation.

Explanation:

Given that two porters are available to carry a long timber wood.out of them one is weak. how do you make less load to the weak one?

We can make the weak one to carry less load through two different ways or means.

First, if we can locate the centre of gravity and centre of mass of the long timbre wood, the week one can carry the other end away from the center of gravity and centre of mass.

Second, the strong porter can carry the long timbre wood almost to the fulcrum and allow the weak one to support at the other end. By doing this, the weak one will only carry light portion of the load.
