Two objects are maintained at constant temperatures, one hot and one cold. Two identical bars can be attached end to end, as in

part a of the drawing, or one on top of the other, as in part b. When either of these arrangements is placed between the hot and the cold objects for the same amount of time, heat Q flows from left to right. Find the ratio Qa/Qb.

Answer:

Qa/Qb = k/2×2k = 1/4

Explanation:

a situation is series and b situation is parallel.

let conductance of each plate = k

so net conductance in series = k/2

net conductance in parallel = 2k

so Qa/Qb = k/2×2k = 1/4

A machine is supplied Energy at a rate of 4000 W and does useful work at a rate of 3760 W. What is the efficiency of the machine
ICE Princess25 [194]
The efficiency of a machine is the ratio between the output power and the power in input:
\epsilon =  \frac{P_{out}}{P_{in}}
in our problem, the output power is 3760 W while the input power is 4000 W, so the efficiency is
\epsilon =  \frac{3760 W}{4000 W} =0.94
So the efficiency of the machine is 94%.

Newton’s prism experiments showed that white sunlight is made up of ... A-the full electromagnetic spectrum.. B-only blue light.
8090 [49]

Explanation :

In Newton's prism experiment, a ray of white sunlight is passed to the prism. It is observed that the light gets refracted at different angles and different colors spread.

Sunlight is made up of seven colors. The colors are the same as the colors seen in the rainbow. The colors are :

  1. Violet
  2. Indigo
  3. Blue
  4. Green
  5. Yellow
  6. Orange
  7. Red

So, the correct option is (c) " White sunlight is made up of all the colors of the visible spectrum ".

What number will be shown by hydrometer if sunk in pure water ?​
serious [3.7K]

The hydrometer displays the density of the liquid you stick it in, COMPARED TO WATER.

If you stick it in pure water, it should read 1.00 . This is a good way to check your hydrometer and see whether it's reading correctly ("calibrated").
