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.

Micah knows that a car had a change in velocity of 15 m/s.To determine acceleration ,Micah also needs the blank of the total tri

Fittoniya [83]

Answer: To determine acceleration ,Micah also needs the Time of the total trip in seconds.

Explanation:

Acceleration can be defined as rate of change of velocity.

$a = \frac{dv}{dt}$

for calculating acceleration, initial and final velocity are required in meter per second and the total time of the trip in seconds. Then acceleration is measured in meter per second square.

Thus, Micah knows that a car had a change in velocity of 15 m/s.To determine acceleration ,Micah also needs the <u>Time</u> of the total trip in seconds.

Nina [5.8K]

Think about how each of noise, heat, visible light, radiation and atmospheric shock waves travel. Which ones require air particles to travel?

A vacuum has no air particles within it, it is completely empty.

Therefore, any of the above that requiring particles to travel will not be able to cross it and the observer will not experience it.

6. What is the change in temperature of a metal rod that is 55.0 cm long, decreases length by 0.20 cm, and that has a coefficien

MrMuchimi

Explanation:

We have,

Length of a metal rod is 55 cm or 0.55 m

Change in length is 0.2 cm or 0.002 m

It is required to find the change in temperature of a metal rod. The coefficient of linear expansion is given by :

$\alpha =\dfrac{\Delta L}{L_0\Delta T}$
