Answer:

the coefficient of volume expansion of the glass is \mathbf{  ( \beta_{glass} )= 1.333 *10^{-5} / K}

Explanation:

Given that:

Initial volume of the glass flask = 1000 cm³ = 10⁻³ m³

temperature of the glass flask and mercury= 1.00° C

After heat is applied ; the final temperature = 52.00° C

Temperature change ΔT = 52.00° C - 1.00° C = 51.00° C

Volume of the mercury overflow = 8.50 cm^3 = 8.50 ×  10⁻⁶ m³

the coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is 1.80 × 10⁻⁴ / K

The increase in the volume of the mercury =  10⁻³ m³ ×  51.00 × 1.80 × 10⁻⁴

The increase in the volume of the mercury = 9.18*10^{-6} \ m^3

Increase in volume of the glass =  10⁻³ × 51.00 × \beta _{glass}

Now; the mercury overflow = Increase in volume of the mercury - increase in the volume of the flask

the mercury overflow = (9.18*10^{-6}  -  51.00* \beta_{glass}*10^{-3})\ m^3

8.50*10^{-6} = (9.18*10^{-6}  -51.00* \beta_{glass}* 10^{-3} )\ m^3

8.50*10^{-6} - 9.18*10^{-6} = ( -51.00* \beta_{glass}* 10^{-3} )\ m^3

-6.8*10^{-7} =  ( -51.00* \beta_{glass}* 10^{-3} )\ m^3

6.8*10^{-7} =  ( 51.00* \beta_{glass}* 10^{-3} )\ m^3

\dfrac{6.8*10^{-7}}{51.00 * 10^{-3}}=  ( \beta_{glass} )

\mathbf{  ( \beta_{glass} )= 1.333 *10^{-5} / K}

Thus; the coefficient of volume expansion of the glass is \mathbf{  ( \beta_{glass} )= 1.333 *10^{-5} / K}

A tennis player tosses a tennis ball straight up and then catches it after 1.64 s at the same height as the point of release.
ipn [44]

A. The acceleration of the ball while it is in flight?

magnitude is 0 m/s² (magnitude is zero)

B. The velocity of the ball when it reaches its maximum height is 0 m/s (magnitude is zero)

C. The initial velocity of the ball 8.036 m/s upward

D. The maximum height reached by the ball is 3.29 m

<h3>A. How to determine the acceleration in the flight</h3>

Considering that the ball came to rest after 1.64s, it means the entire acceleration of the flight is zero as the ball was not moving in any form again.

<h3>B. How to determine the velocity at maximum height</h3>

At maximum height, the velocity of the ball is zero as it no longer has magnitude to keep going upwards. Hence the ball begins to ball down.

<h3>C. How to determine the initial velocity</h3>
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s
  • Time of flight (T) = 1.64 s
  • Time to reach maximum height (t) = T / 2 = 1.64 / 2 = 0.82 s
  • Initial velocity (u) =?

v = u - gt (since the ball is going against gravity)

0 = u - (9.8 × 0.82)

0 = u - 8.036

Collect like terms

u = 0 + 8.036

u = 8.036 m/s upward

<h3>D. How to determine the maximum height reached by the ball</h3>
  • Time to reach maximum height (t) = T / 2 = 1.64 / 2 = 0.82 s
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Maximum height (h)

h = ½gt²

h = ½ × 9.8 × 0.82²

h = 3.29 m

Can spoon ring like a bell prove it
mote1985 [20]
Yes spoon can sound like a bell. To prove this, we perform an experiment.The handle of the spoon is tied at the mid point of the string, then wrap the ends of the string around pointer fingers. Now place fingers in  ears. Lean over so that spoon hangs freely and swing the spoon so it taps against a door.
A sound is produced because the spoon vibrated, causing sound waves to travel up the string and into ears.

The two major parts of the optical telescope
nydimaria [60]
The "objective" (lens or mirror) is the major major major part of
the optical telescope.  It's really the only part you need in order
to make a telescope (besides something to hold the objective).
You can put a piece of film or a CCD right at the focal point of
the objective lens or mirror and capture 'images' (pictures) there.

If you want to use the telescope for looking through and seeing stuff
with your eye, then you need the other major part ... the eyepiece lens.
