<span>Calculating for potential energy P.E=mgh
m=mass
g=acceleration due to gravity
h=height
</span>Let the twig's mass be M<span> 
</span><span>
therefore at the start, the twig has 200*9.8*M potential energy. 

</span>During its fall 40% twig's energy is converted into thermal energy and the remaining <span>60% of this will turn into kinetic energy during the fall, giving us 1176M
Now the equation for kinetic energy, K.E is 0.5*m*v^2
m is mass
v is velocity

Therefore 1176M=0.5*M*v^2 (mass will divide out)
velocity is </span><span>48.49 m/s</span>

Aloiza [94]

In  making a thermometer used to monitor the temperature of the water, a glass tube, a scale, and a thermometric liquid such as alcohol is required.

<h3>What is a thermometer?</h3>

A thermometer is an instrument that is used to measure or read the temperature of a body or a substance.

There are different types of thermometers such as:

  • Liquid-in-glass thermometers
  • Gas thermometers
  • Resistance thermometers

A simple liquid-in-glass thermometer consists of the following parts:

  • A glass tube
  • A scale
  • A thermometric liquid such as alcohol

Therefor, in making a thermometer used to monitor the temperature of the water, a glass tube, a scale, and a thermometric liquid such as alcohol is required.

In conclusion, a thermometer is the instrument used in measuring temperature.

Weight distribution, need help on it thanks
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Weight distribution is the apportioning of weight within a vehicle, especially cars, airplanes, and trains. Typically, it is written in the form x/y, where x is the percentage of weight in the front, and y is the percentage in the back.

Explanation: In a vehicle which relies on gravity in some way, weight

Question: Why do both the moon and the earth pull on the spaceship the entire time? Why must you be closer to the moon before th
Ira Lisetskai [31]
-- There's no limit to the distance of gravitational forces. 
There's gravitational force between Pluto and the lint in your
pocket ... not much, but it's there, and it can be calculated.

So there's ALWAYS gravitational force between the Earth and the
spaceship, AND ALSO between the Moon and the spaceship. 
Even before it's ever launched !

-- The Earth has about 80 times as much mass as the Moon has,
so you have to be much closer to the Moon before the gravitational
forces in each direction are equal.
