What is the purpose of a kink in a thermometer?

Kink in the Mercury thermometer helps to prevents the falling of mercury present in capillary  tube into bulb. It ensures that the user takes the correct reading of temperature. That's the reason a person before taking a new reading must give a sudden shake to the clinical thermometer so that the mercury level comes to normal .

Answer:

A 'kink' in the glass tube which breaks the mercury as it contracts, storing the highest temperature reading. The glass tube is shaped like a lens to magnify the thin mercury thread. Shaking the thermometer resets the mercury back into the bulb.

1)the car's engine power is 44000W. Explain this number in a physical sense
Ratling [72]

Answer:

1) It expresses the rate (top speed) at which it can move with time.

2) P = 20 W

3) h = 18 km

Explanation:

1) Power is the rate of transfer of energy.

⇒ Power = \frac{Energy(or workdone)}{Time}

i.e P = \frac{E}{t}

Thus a car's engine power is 44000W implies that the engine of the car can propel the car at this rate. This expresses the rate (top speed) at which it can move with time.

2) m = 400g = 0.4 kg

    t = 20 s

h = 100m

g = 10 m/s^{2}

P = \frac{mgh}{t}

  = \frac{0.4*10*100}{20}

  = \frac{400}{20}

P = 20 W

3) u = 600 m/s

   g = 10 m/s^{2}

From the third equation of free fall,

V^{2} = U^{2} - 2gh

V is the final velocity, U is the initial velocity, h is the height.

0 = (600)^{2} - 2 x 10 x h

0 = 360000 - 20h

20h = 360000

h = \frac{360000}{20}

  = 18000

h = 18 km

The maximum height of the bullet would be 18 km.

Find the tension in the two ropes that are holding the 4.2 kg object in place.
Blababa [14]

Answer:

The tension in the two ropes are;

T1 = 23.37N T2 = 35.47N

Explanation:

Given mass of the object to be 4.2kg, the weight acting on the bag will be W= mass × acceleration due to gravity

W = 4.2×10 = 42N

The tension acting on the bag plus the weight are three forces acting on the bag. We need to find tension in the two ropes that will keep the object in equilibrium.

Using triangular law of force and sine rule to get the tension we have;

If rope 1 is at 57.6° with respect to the vertical and rope 2 is at 33.8° with respect to the vertical, our sine rule formula will give;

T1/sin33.8° = T2/sin57.6° = 42/sin{180-(33.8°+57.6°)}

T1/sin33.8° = T2/sin57.6° = 42/sin88.6°

From the equality;

T1/sin33.8° = 42/sin88.6°

T1 = sin33.8°×42/sin88.6°

T1 = 23.37N

To get T2,

T2/sin57.6°= 42/sin88.6°

T2 = sin57.6°×42/sin88.6°

T2 = 35.47N
