A liquid thermometer can be used to test for fevers. When body temperature increases, the liquid inside the thermometer expands

and
rises to show a higher
temperature reading. Which of the following explanations best describes the changes in thermal energy of the
particles during this specific example of heat transfer?
A. The tip of the thermometer is heated by radiation from the person's body. The particles of the thermometer tip then transfer heat
by convection through the liquid inside of it. The particles inside the liquid then convect heat causing the warmer particles to slow
down, rise, and expand.
B. The tip of the thermometer is heated by conduction from the person's body. The particles of the thermometer tip then transfer heat
by convection through the liquid inside of it. The particles inside the liquid then convect heat causing the warmer particles to slow
down, rise, and expand.
© C. The tip of the thermometer is heated by convection with the person's body. The particles of the thermometer tip then transfer heat
by conduction with the liquid inside of it. The particles inside the liquid then conduct heat causing the warmer particles to speed up,
rise, and expand
© D The tip of the thermometer is heated by conduction with the person's body. The particles of the thermometer tip then transfer heat
by conduction with the liquid inside of it. The particles inside the liquid then convect heat causing the warmer particles to speed up,

A stonecutter's chisel has an edge area of 0.7 cm2. If the chisel is struck with a force of 42 N, what is the pressure exerted o
Fantom [35]

Answer:

The pressure is P =  583333 \ N/m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The area of the edge is  A =  0.72 cm^2  =  0.72 *10^{-4}\ m

    The  force is F =  42 \ N

The pressure is mathematically represented as

            P =  \frac{F}{A}

substituting values

           P =  \frac{42}{0.72*10^{-4}}

           P =  583333 \ N/m^2

A wire is attached to the ceiling so that the current flows south to north. A student is standing directly below the wire facing
Ratling [72]

Answer:

If one wraps the fingers around the wire and points the thumb in the direction of the "conventional" current the fingers will point towards the North pole - the direction of the B-field.

In this case the B-field is pointed "West".

velikii [3]

Answer:0.0144 tesla

Explanation:

Magnetic field strength is the same as Magnetomotive force

B= I/2πr

B=magnetic field strength

I=current

r=radius=0.15/2=0.75m

Area=πr2= 1.77m2

torqueT= NIABsin theta

B= T/NIABsin theta

B=0.135/1 * 5.3 * 1.77 *sin90

B=0.0144 tesla

If light of wavelength 700 nm strikes such a photocathode, what will be the maximum kinetic energy, in eV , of the emitted elect
Oksana_A [137]

If the light of wavelength 700 nm strikes such a photocathode the maximum kinetic energy, in eV, of the emitted electrons is 0.558 eV.

so - $KE_{max} = hc/lembda}  work

threshold when KE = 0

hc/lambda = work = 1240/900=1.38 eV

b) Kemax = hc/lambda - work = 1240/640 -1.38=0.558 eV

What is photocathode?

  • A photocathode electrolyte interface can be used in a photoelectrolysis cell as the primary light-harvesting junction (in conjunction with an appropriate electrochemical anode) or as an optically complementary photoactive half-cell in a tandem photoelectrode photoelectrolysis cell (Hamnett, 1982; Kocha et al, 1994).
  • In the case of the former, the electrode should ideally harvest photon energy across the majority of the solar spectrum in order to achieve the highest energy conversion efficiency possible.
  • In the latter case, however, the photocathode may only be active in a specific band of the solar spectrum in order to generate a cathodic photocurrent sufficient to match the current generated in the photoanodic half-cell.
