5.why does the pointer rotate?​

Physics
1 answer:
morpeh [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: find the answer in the explanation.

Explanation:

From the experiment set up in the diagram, the pointer is resting on the drinking straw while the rod is resting on the drinking straw.

When the rod is being heated through the bursen burner, there will be linear expansion in the rod. As the rod increases its length, this causes the drinking straw to roll and thereby causing the pointer to rotate.

The pointer therefore rotates because of the thermer expansion that happen in the rod due to the heat from the bursen burner.

A camera lens focuses on an object 75.0 cm from the lensThe image forms 3.50 cm behind the lens. What is the magnification of th
N76 [4]

Answer:

7/150

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Object distance (u) = 75cm

Image distance (v) = 3.5cm

Magnification (M) =..?

Magnification is simply defined as:

Magnification (M) = Image distance (v)/ object distance (u)

M = v /u

With the above formula, we can obtain the magnification of the image as follow:

M = v/u

M = 3.5/75

M = 7/150

Therefore, the magnification of the image is 7/150.

Calculate the speed for a car that went a distance of 125 meters in 2 seconds time.
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

<h2>62.5 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The speed of the car can be found by using the formula

s =  \frac{d}{t} \\

d is the distance

t is the time

From the question we have

s =  \frac{125}{2}  = 62.5 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>62.5 m/s</h3>

Hope this helps you

Consider a solenoid of length L, N windings, and radius b (L is much longer than b A current I). is flowing through the wire. If
wolverine [178]

Answer:

The magnetic field inside the solenoid would decrease by a factor of 2.

Explanation:

The magnetic field, B, of a solenoid of length L, N windings, and radius b with a current, I, flowing through it is given as:

B = (N * r * I) / L

If the length of the solenoid is doubled, 2L,the magnetic field becomes:

B2 = (N * r * I) / 2L

B2 = ½ B

The magnetic field will decrease by a factor of 2.

A copper wire has a radius of 2.9 mm. When forces of a certain equal magnitude but opposite directions are applied to the ends o
REY [17]

Answer:

550000000N/m

Explanation:

Given that a copper wire has a radius of 2.9 mm. When forces of a certain equal magnitude but opposite directions are applied to the ends of the wire, the wire stretches by 5.0×10−3 of its original length.

Original length L = 0.005L

the strain = extension/ original length

the strain = 0.005L / L

the strain = 0.005

Young modulus = stress / strain

11 × 10^10 = stress / 0.005

Cross multiply

Stress = 11 × 10^10 × 0.005

Stress = 550 000000 N/m

Therefore, the tensile stress on the wire is 550000000 N/m.
