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.

Suppose that the average speed (vrms) of carbon dioxide molecules (molar mass 44.0 g/mol) in a flame is found to be 2.67 105 m/s

34kurt

Answer:

$T = 1.26 \times 10^8 K$

Explanation:

As we know that rms speed of ideal gas is given by the formula

$v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}$

here we know that

$v_{rms} = 2.67 \times 10^5 m/s$

molecular mass of gas is given as

$M = 44 g/mol = 0.044 kg/mol$

now from above formula we have

$2.67\times 10^5 = \sqrt{\frac{3(8.31)T}{0.044}}$

now we have

$T = 1.26 \times 10^8 K$

We can model the motion of a bumblebee's wing as simple harmonic motion. A bee beats its wings 250 times per second, and the win

zlopas [31]

Answer:

The amplitude of the wing tip's motion is 1.6 mm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Beat = 250 /s

Speed = 2.5 m/s

We need to calculate the amplitude of the wing tip's motion

Using the equation for the maximum velocity

$v_{max}=2\pi f A$

$A=\dfrac{v}{2\pi f}$

Where,

v = speed

f = frequency

A = amplitude

Put the value into the formula

$A=\dfrac{2.5}{2\pi\times250}$

$A=0.00159 = 1.59\times10^{-3}\ m$

$A=1.6\ mm$

Hence, The amplitude of the wing tip's motion is 1.6 mm.

I believe the answer would be mass. Low mass stars and medium mass stars often become white dwarfs when they die while high mass stars explode in violent explosions called supernovas and usually leave behind a black hole or a neutron star.
