The length of the mercury thread is found to be 4cm and 24cm at ice point and steam point respectively on an ungraduated thermom
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The difference between ice and steam in Celsius (Centigrade) is 100 deg.

So the difference between and 4 cm and 24 cm of the thread corresponds to 100 deg C.

So 8 cm is 4 cm greater than the ice point

4 cm / 20 cm = 1/5     since the steam point and the ice point are 20 cm apart

Then 1/5 * 100  deg C = 20 deg C   the requested temperature

A wave of wavelength 0.3 m travels 900 m in 3.0 s. Calculate its frequency.
Crank

Answer: 1000 Hz

Explanation:

You can calculate frequency by dividing velocity by wavelength

Frequency = velocity/wavelength

Find velocity first.

900 m/3 s = 300 m/s

Plug values in to find frequency.

F = (300 m/s)/0.3 m

F = 1000 Hz

While at a construction site, you see a crane lift a 1000kg steel beam up to a height of 10m in a time period of 5.0 seconds. A
storchak [24]

Answer:

Car has more power output than crane      

Explanation:

We have given that mass of the crane m = 1000 kg

Height through which crane lift the steel beam h = 10 m

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

So work done by crane W=mgh=1000\times 9.8\times 10=98000j

Time period is given as t = 5 sec

We know that power P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{98000}{5}=19600watt

Now mass of the car = 1000 kg

Initial velocity u = 0 m /sec

Final velocity v = 10 m/sec

We know that work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy

So work done =\frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2

=\frac{1}{2}\times 1000\times 10^2-\frac{1}{2}\times 1000\times 0^2=50000j

Time ids given as t = 2 sec

So power P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{50000}{2}=25000watt

So car has more power output than crane
