A thermostat is able to control the heating systems in a home by using which of the following properties of metals?

Physics
2 answers:
Kryger [21]3 years ago

Answer: option 1. thermal expansion and contraction.

The thermostat uses the thermal expansion and contraction of metals: when the metal expands it acts as a switch, a coiled ribbon expands and the electric circuit is off, then the current stops. When the temperatures decrease, the coiled ribbon contracts and the circuit is on, then the current starts to flow and the resistance starts to radiate heat.

A person drives north 8 blocks, then turns west and drives 4 blocks. The driver then turns south and drives 8 blocks. How could
stealth61 [152]

A person would be driving 4 blocks west from the starting point to make the shorter distance while maintaining same displacement.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The measurement of an object’s position change from its point is called displacement. It is usually calculated from starting to the end points and represented by ‘delta s’. In the given scenarios, the person drove in the way that he finals the driving by 4 blocks away from the west.

Means, the persons drive to 8 blocks north and then to 8 blocks south get cancelled. Hence, to make the shorter distance with maintaining same displacement he would be driving 4 blocks west from the starting point.

What is the significance of the direction of an electric field line at some point on the line?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer with Explanation:

The direction of the electric field line at any point gives us the direction of the electric force that will act on a positive charge if placed at the point. We know that if we place a charge in an electric field it will experience a force, as we know that force is a vector quantity hence it requires both magnitude and direction for it's complete description. The direction of this electric force that acts on a charge is given by the direction of the electric field in the space. In case the charge is negatively charged electric force will act on it in the direction opposite to the direction of electric field at the point.

Two blocks of masses 6 kg and 5.5 kg are
sp2606 [1]

When you squish the spring, you put some energy into it, and after the cord
burns and they go boing in opposite directions, that energy that you stored
in the spring is what gives the blocks their kinetic energy.

But linear momentum still has to be conserved.  It was zero while they were
tied together and nothing was moving, so it has to be zero after they both
take off.

Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)

After the launch, the 5.5-kg moves to the right at 6.8 m/s,
so its momentum is
                               (5.5 x 6.8) = 37.4 kg-m/s to the right.

In order for the total momentum to be zero, the other block has to
carry the same amount of momentum in the opposite direction.

               M x V = (6 x speed) = 37.4 kg-m/s to the left.

Divide each side by  6 :      Speed = 37.4 / 6 =<em>  6.2333... m/s left</em>

(That number is  (6 and 7/30) m/s .)

What do we call the days when the sun is directly overhead the equator?
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Equinox

Explanation:

It is an astronomical phenomenon that is repeated twice a year, in summer and winter, and that is caused because the axis on which our planet rotates is slightly inclined with respect to the plane of translation, this is its trajectory around the Sun.

For this reason there are two equinoxes a year, a phenomenon completely opposite to the solstice, but also marks the beginning of the spring and autumn seasons.

The equinoxes occur around March 20 or 21 and September 22 or 23, and it is the days when the Sun is exactly over the equator, which makes day and night more or less the same duration. The word ‘equinox’ comes from Latin and means precisely ‘same night’. In those two moments the part of the Earth closest to the Sun is the equator.

Ancient Greek philosophers spent lots of time thinking about science and imaging explanations for the natural world. What part o
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Testing

Explanation:

Ancient Greek philosophers lived with the ideology to simply contemplate life. This means that their whole life revolved around thinking and questioning everything. This would include creative thinking, because they would sometimes come up with theories which require creativeness. They would often debate with their friends as to why their theory should be accepted or what their opinions were on the matter. More often than not, they argued a lot, and many philosophers went against some powerful people in the community and some were even sentenced to death.

The main process they didn't/couldn't do was the testing. They could never test certain theories because they did not have the means to.
