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,

24) a plane takes off at 7:00 pm and lands at 1:00 am after travelling a distance of 4818km. what is the minimum number of times
12345 [234]

Answer:

Twice

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Time between 7:00 PM and 1:00 AM: 6 hours

Distance: 4818km

Since the distance is 4818km, and the time is 6 hours, you divide 4818 by 6.

803.0000015999 km/h.

The average speed is 803 km/h

Which considering the ideal case scenario if the plane starts at 0 reaches the speed of 803 and the end reduces its speed from 803 to 0. This means we have come across the value of 800 at least twice. Hence, the plane was travelling at a speed of 800 km/h at least 2 times.

Please explain in simple terms why a purple flower appears purple when a white light shines on it?
AleksAgata [21]
The white light is made up of all wavelength of electromagnetic spectrum, the spectrum has different colors, When light rays fall on an object, some of the color in the white light will be absorbed by the object while some will be reflected. The color that is reflected by the object is the one that an observe will see. Thus, a purple flower will appear purple because it is reflecting the wavelength that appear as purple

A string under a tension of 50.4 N is used to whirl a rock in a horizontal circle of radius 2.51 m at a speed of 21.1 m/s. The s
Leokris [45]

Answer:

619.8 N

Explanation:

The tension in the string provides the centripetal force that keeps the rock in circular motion, so we can write:

T=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

T is the tension

m is the mass of the rock

v is the speed

r is the radius of the circular path

At the beginning,

T = 50.4 N

v = 21.1 m/s

r = 2.51 m

So we can use the equation to find the mass of the rock:

m=\frac{Tr}{v^2}=\frac{(50.4)(2.51)}{21.1^2}=0.284 kg

Later, the radius of the string is decreased to

r' = 1.22 m

While the speed is increased to

v' = 51.6 m/s

Substituting these new data into the equation, we find the tension at which the string breaks:

T'=m\frac{v'^2}{r'}=(0.284)\frac{(51.6)^2}{1.22}=619.8 N

A monatomic gas is adiabatically compressed to 0.250 of its initial volume. Do each of the following quantities change?
Len [333]

Answer:

Given that

V2/V1= 0.25

And we know that in adiabatic process

TV^န-1= constant

So

T1/T2=( V1 /V2)^ န-1

So = ( 1/0.25)^ 0.66= 2.5

Also PV^န= constant

So P1/P2= (V2/V1)^န

= (1/0.25)^1.66 = 9.98

A. RMS speed is

Vrms= √ 3RT/M

But this is also

Vrms 2/Vrms1= (√T2/T1)

Vrms2=√2.5= 1.6vrms1

B.

Lambda=V/4π√2πr²N

So

Lambda 2/lambda 1= V2/V1 = 0.25

So the mean free path can be inferred to be 0.25 times the first mean free path

C. Using

Eth= 3/2KT

So Eth2/Eth1= T2/T1

So

Eth2= 2.5Eth1

D.

Using CV= 3/2R

Cvf= Cvi

So molar specific heat constant does not change

A charged object is suspended motionless in the air by the gravitational force pulling it down and an electric force pushing it
Savatey [412]

The charge of the object must be 1.11 \times e^{-5} \text { coulomb }

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Suppose an electric charge can be represented by the symbol Q. This electric charge generates an electric field; Because Q is the source of the electric field, we call this as source charge. The electric field strength of the source charge can be measured with any other charge anywhere in the area. The test charges used to test the field strength.

Its quantity indicated by the symbol q. In the electric field, q exerts an electric, either attractive or repulsive force. As usual, this force is indicated by the symbol F. The electric field’s magnitude is simply defined as the force per charge (q) on Q.

         Electric field, E=\frac{\text { Force }(F)}{q}

Here, given E = 4500 N/C and F = 0.05 N.

We need to find charge of the object (q)

By substituting the given values, we get

      q=\frac{F}{E}=\frac{0.05 N}{4500 \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{c}}=1.11 \times e^{-5} \text { coulomb }
