Which one of the following indicates a drop in temperature?

1 answer:

6 0

Answer: <span>D. A bimetallic strip bends so that the steel is on the outside curve
</span>
When something has an increased temperature, its volume will expand. Then, if the temperature drops, its volume should be smaller. From there option A and B are out since the liquid in thermometer is expand or move up.

When you put two kinds of different metal with a different coefficient of thermal expansion, the outer curve metal will be the one with lesser coefficient when temperature drop. Since the question about drop in temperature then the metal should be bend
Brass will expand 1.5 times more than the steel so the outer curve would be the steel.

Alexeev081 [22]

Explanation:

The center of gravity is near the grip and does not change during throw. "Throwing through the tip," a popular term of how to throw a javelin, means throwing through the grip or center of gravity. The center of pressure is the aerodynamic force of drag and lift on the javelin.

The average speed during any time interval is equal to the total distance of travel divided by the total time. Let d represent t

Tanya [424]

Answer:

Average speed = 3.63 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed during any time interval is equal to the total distance travelled divided by the total time.

That is,

Average speed = distance/ time

Let d represent the distance between A and B.

Let t1 be the time for which she has the higher speed of 5.15 m/s. Therefore,

5.15 = d/t1.

Make d the subject of formula

d = 5.15t1

Let t2 represent the longer time for the return trip at 2.80 m/s . That is,

2.80 = d/t2.

Then the times are t1 = d/5.15 5 and

t2 = d/2.80.

The average speed vavg is given by the following equation.

avg speed = Total distance/Total time

Avg speed = d + d/t1 + t2

Where

Total distance = 2d

Total time = t1 + t2

Total time = d/5.15 + d/2.80

Total time = (2.8d + 5.15d)/14.42

Total time = 7.95d/14.42

Total time = 0.55d

Substitute total distance and time into the formula above.

Avg speed = 2d / 0.55d

Avg Speed = 3.63 m/s

What is the wavelength of a wave if the wave speed is 24 m/s and the frequency is 48 Hz?

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Wavelength is 0.5

Explanation:

To work it out, you divide Wave speed by the Frequency (24÷48=0.5)

A 360-N child is in a swing that is attached to a pair of ropes 1.90 m long. Find the gravitational potential energy of the chil

Igoryamba

Answer:

684J

Explanation:

So basically the formula for gravitational potential energy is Mass X Gravity X height. That is G.p.e = mgh

We don't have the mass but since we have the height, we multiply directly with the height since the quantity of weight is already given.

so G.p.e = 360 X 1.9 = 684J

Note that; The answer is in joules because g.p.e is work done.

Hope that was helpful!!

A 26 foot ladder is lowered down a vertical wall at a rate of 3 feet per minute. The base of the ladder is sliding away from the

lakkis [162]

Answer:

(i) 7.2 feet per minute.

(ii) No, the rate would be different.

(iii) The rate would be always positive.

(iv) the resultant change would be constant.

(v) 0 feet per min

Explanation:

Let the length of ladder is l, x be the height of the top of the ladder from the ground and y be the length of the bottom of the ladder from the wall,

By making the diagram of this situation,

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

$l^2 = x^2 + y^2-----(1)$
