When an object is heated it contracts. A. True B. False

Physics

Vadim26 [7]3 years ago

That statement is almost always false.  When anything is heated, it expands ... with one tiny exception.

When water is heated from 0°C to 4°C, it contracts.  I'm pretty sure that this is the only place in nature where this exception to the rule occurs.  If it didn't, then life on Earth wouldn't be possible !

Electric Motor

Explanation:

There are mainly two types of machines for inter-conversion between mechanical energy and electrical energy as under:

  1. Motor
  2. Generator

Motor is a device which converts electrical energy into a mechanical whereas generator does the exact opposite of motor.

There are 2 types of motors:

AC Motor - Converts alternating current into mechanical energy

DC Motor - Converts direct current into mechanical energy

The earth rotates about its pole once every 24 hrs. The distance from the pole to a location on the Earth is 35* north latitude

The angular velocity, ω= 
2π/t; t = 24 hrs = 24 x 3600 seconds = 86400 s
ω = 7.27 x 10⁻⁵
v = ωr
= 7.27 x 10⁻⁵ x 3242.8 x 1.6 x 1000 (converting miles to meters)
= 377.2 m/s

If you tried to use a diverging lens as a magnifier by placing the object at the focal point, what type of image would be produc
gladu [14]

Answer:

Upright and smaller than the object

Explanation:

Diverging lens as the name suggests that the rays diverge after the refraction and do not meet in reality. A concave lens is called diverging lens. When there is refraction of light through a concave lens then the light bends away from the principal axis and hence never meet in reality but on tracing the rays backwards the rays appear to meet leading to the formation of a virtual image, which is erect and smaller than the object for an object placed at the focus of the lens.

Similar image is formed for any case when the object is between optical center and infinity.
