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.

The householder installs cavity wall insulation. What would happen to the time taken for the temperature to fall between points

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

the answers the correct one is: the time increases

Explanation:

When an insulating material is placed in the cavity of a wall the thermal conductivity of the system increases, therefore the temperature changes take longer.

P= dQ / dt = K A dT / dx

when placing insulation the value of k is less

When reviewing the answers the correct one is: the time increases

At the local swimming pool, the diving board is elevated h = 8.5 m above the pool surface and overhangs the pool edge by L = 2 m

Tasya [4]

Answer:

Part a)

$t_w = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

Part b)

$t_w = 1.32 s$

Part c)

$d_w = 6.88 m$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the diver will have zero velocity in vertical direction

so here we can say that

$\Delta y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}a_y t^2$

$h = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t_w = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

Part b)

as we know that

$h = 8.5 m$

$g = 9.81 m/s^2$

so we will have

$t_w = \sqrt{\frac{2(8.5)}{9.81}}$

$t_w = 1.32 s$

Part c)

Distance covered by diver from the edge of the pool is given as

$d_w = L + v_w t_w$

$d_w = 2 + (3.7)(1.32)$

$d_w = 6.88 m$

Why is venus the hottest planet in the solar system

mr Goodwill [35]

Venus is the hottest world in the solar system. Although Venus is not the planet closest to the sun, its dense atmosphere traps heat in a runaway version of the greenhouse effect that warms Earth.

To which series would the emitted light belong if an electron in a hydrogen atom underwent a transition from level n = 5 to leve

inessss [21]

So we want to know in which series would the emitted light belong if the electron in a hydrogen atom would go from the energy level n=5 to n=1. The correct answer is Lyman series. Complete Lyman series is from energy level n=6 to n=1. All of the wavelengths in the Lyman series are in the ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
