For any temperature scale the ratio of difference of temperature will be same

so we can write

\frac{T^ox - 12^ox}{129^ox - 12^ox} = \frac{T^of - 32^of}{212^of - 32^of}

now given that in both scales the temperature must be same

\frac{T^ox - 12^ox}{117^ox} = \frac{T^of - 32^of}{180^of}

T - 12 = 0.65 (T - 32)

0.35T = -8.8

T = -25.14 ^ox

<em>so at above temperature both scales will have same temperature</em>

The coefficient of cubical expansion of a substance depends upon
zzz [600]
<span>I think that the coefficient of cubical expansion of a substance depends on THE CHANGE IN VOLUME.

Cubical expansion, also known as, volumetric expansion has the following formula:

</span>Δ V = β V₁ ΔT

V₁ = initial volume of the body
ΔT = change in temperature of the body
β = coefficient of volumetric expansion.

β is defined as the <span>increase in volume per unit original volume per Kelvin rise in temperature.
</span>
With the above definition, it is safe to assume that the <span>coefficient of cubical expansion of a substance depends on the change in volume, which also changes in response to the change in temperature. </span>

What is the difference between a hurricane and a typhoon
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Well, a hurricane is a storm with violent winds (more less with a force of 12 in the scale that measures winds) and it happens especially in the Caribbean sea. While a typhoon is also a strong storm but it happens especially in the Indian region and the western pacific oceans.

In conclusion, their difference is the area in which they happen.

A 42.0-kg parachutist is moving straight downward with a speed of 3.85 m/s. (a) If the parachutist comes to rest with constant a
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

-414.96 N

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-3.85^2}{2\times 0.75}\\\Rightarrow a=-9.88\ m/s^2

F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=42\times -9.88\\\Rightarrow F=-414.96\ N

The force the ground exerts on the parachutist is -414.96 N

If the distance is shorter than 0.75 m then the acceleration will increase causing the force to increase

011 10.0 points
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

2.47 m

Explanation:

Let's calculate first the time it takes for the ball to cover the horizontal distance that separates the starting point from the crossbar of d = 52 m.

The horizontal velocity of the ball is constant:

v_x = v cos \theta = (25)(cos 35.9^{\circ})=20.3 m/s

and the time taken to cover the horizontal distance d is

t=\frac{d}{v_x}=\frac{52}{20.3}=2.56 s

So this is the time the ball takes to reach the horizontal position of the crossbar.

The vertical position of the ball at time t is given by

y=u_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

u_y = v sin \theta =(25)(sin 35.9^{\circ})=14.7 m/s is the initial vertical velocity

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

And substituting t = 2.56 s, we find the vertical position of the ball when it is above the crossbar:

y=(14.7)(2.56) - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(2.56)^2=5.52 m

The height of the crossbar is h = 3.05 m, so the ball passes

h' = 5.52- 3.05 = 2.47 m

above the crossbar.
