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!

Which statement best defines inertia? An object's motion is unaffected by any external forces acting upon it. An object responds
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

An object responds to a force by tending to move in the direction of that force

Explanation:

The inertia of a body can be defined with the help of Newton's second law

          F = m a

Where F is the applied force, a is the acceleration of the body and m is the mass

the force and the acceleration are vectors that point in the same direction and m is a scalar constant that relates the two vectors, this scalar constant is called masses and it measures the resistance of the bodies to the change of motion.

From the previous statement we see that the statement that best describes inertia is:

An object responds to force by tending to move in the direction of the force.

Displacement vectors of 4km north, 2km south, 5km north, 5km south combine to a total displacement of
goldfiish [28.3K]

<u>Answer</u>

The combined displacement is 2km north


<u>Explanation</u>


Since displacement is a vector quantity, we take into account the direction.


Good for us all the displacement vectors are in the same dimension, so we can make north positive and south negative or vice-versa.


We now add to obtain,

4+-2+5+-5

This will simplify to

=4-2+5-5=2

Therefore the combined displacement is 2km north
