Which one of the following indicates a drop in temperature?

1 answer:

6 0

Answer: D. A bimetallic strip bends so that the steel is on the outside curve

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.

A stone that is thrown vertically upwards was having a velocity of 15m/s after reaches 2/3 of its maximum height. What is the ma

attashe74 [19]

The correct answer is option B. The maximum height that can be reached by the stone is determined as 11.5 m.

<h3>Maximum height attained by the stone </h3>

The maximum height attained by the stone when it is a 2/3 of its total height is calculated as follows;

v² = u² - 2gh

where;

v is final velocity at maximum height, v = 0
u is initial velocity
g is acceleration due to gravity

0 = u² - 2gh

2gh = u²

h = u²/2g

h = (15²)/(2 x 9.8)

h = 11.48 m

h = 11.5 m

Thus, the maximum height that can be reached by the stone is determined as 11.5 m

Light with an intensity of 1 kW/m2 falls normally on a surface and is completely absorbed. The radiation pressure is

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The radiation pressure of the light is 3.33 x 10⁻⁶ Pa.

Explanation:

Given;

intensity of light, I = 1 kW/m²

The radiation pressure of light is given as;

$Radiation \ Pressure = \frac{Flux \ density}{Speed \ of \ light}$

I kW = 1000 J/s

The energy flux density = 1000 J/m².s

The speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Thus, the radiation pressure of the light is calculated as;

$Radiation \ pressure = \frac{1000}{3*10^{8}} \\\\Radiation \ pressure =3.33*10^{-6} \ Pa$

Therefore, the radiation pressure of the light is 3.33 x 10⁻⁶ Pa.

The drum of a washing machine spins at 200 rpm the drum had a radius of 0.5m what will the centripetal force experienced by a to

miskamm [114]

The centripetal force experienced by the towel is 55 N.

The given parameters;

angular speed of the washing machine, ω = 200 rpm
radius of the machine' drum, r = 0.5 m
mass of the towel, m = 0.25 kg

The centripetal force experienced by the towel spinning along the walls of the drum is calculated as follows;

Fc = mrω²

where;

Fc is the centripetal force

ω is angular speed in rad/s

The angular speed in rad/s is calculate as;

$\omega = \frac{200 \ rev}{\min} \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} \times \frac{1\min}{60 \ s} \\\\\omega = 20.95 \ rad/s$

The centripetal force experienced by the towel is calculated as;

$F_c = mr\omega ^2\\\\F_c = 0.25 \times 0.5 \times (20.95)^2\\\\F_c = 54.9 \ N \ \approx 55 \ N$

Thus, the centripetal force experienced by the towel is 55 N.
