The correct answer should be c.The kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.

If the temperature drops that means that the molecules are coming together. If the temperature rises then it means that the molecules are spreading. If the kinetic energy falls down that means that they are slower which means that they are cooler.

Answer: The correct answer is (c).

Explanation:

Thermometer is a device which measures the temperature.

Temperature is a measures of the average kinetic energy of the particles in the substance. It measures how the hot or cold an object is.

In the given problem, a thermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water’s temperature. When the kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases then the thermometer shows the drop in the temperature.

When the kinetic energy of the water molecules increases then the thermometer shows the rise in the temperature.

Therefore, the correct option is (c).

A phonograph record 0.15 m in its radius rotates 18 times per 90 seconds what is the frequency?
ioda

Answer:

The frequency of the phonograph record is 0.2 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of an object moving in uniform circular motion is the number of completed cycles the object makes in a specified time period

The given parameters of the phonograph record are;

The radius of the record = 0.15 m

The number of times the phonograph record rotates, n = 18 times

The time it takes the phonograph record to rotate the 18 times, t = 90 seconds

The frequency of the phonograph record, f = (The number of times the phonograph record rotates) ÷ (The time it takes the phonograph record to rotate the 18 times)

∴ The frequency of the phonograph record, f = n/t = 18/(90 s) = 0.2 Hz

The frequency of the phonograph record = 0.2 Hz.

If a planet has the same mass as the earth, but has twice the radius, how does the surface gravity, g, compare to g on the surfa
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The surface gravity g of the planet is 1/4 of the surface gravity on earth.

Explanation:

Surface gravity is given by the following formula:

g=G\frac{m}{r^{2}}

So the gravity of both the earth and the planet is written in terms of their own radius, so we get:

g_{E}=G\frac{m}{r_{E}^{2}}

g_{P}=G\frac{m}{r_{P}^{2}}

The problem tells us the radius of the planet is twice that of the radius on earth, so:

r_{P}=2r_{E}

If we substituted that into the gravity of the planet equation we would end up with the following formula:

g_{P}=G\frac{m}{(2r_{E})^{2}}

Which yields:

g_{P}=G\frac{m}{4r_{E}^{2}}

So we can now compare the two gravities:

\frac{g_{P}}{g_{E}}=\frac{G\frac{m}{4r_{E}^{2}}}{G\frac{m}{r_{E}^{2}}}

When simplifying the ratio we end up with:

\frac{g_{P}}{g_{E}}=\frac{1}{4}

So the gravity acceleration on the surface of the planet is 1/4 of that on the surface of Earth.

Assume that the blocks are accelerating, and the x components of their accelerations at a certain moment are a1x and a2x. find t
Serga [27]

we know that center of mass is given as

r = (m₁ r_{1x} + m₂ r_{2x})/(m₁ + m₂)

taking derivative both side relative to "t"

dr/dt = (m₁ dr_{1x}/dt + m₂ dr_{2x}/dt)/(m₁ + m₂)

v = (m₁ v_{1x} + m₂ v_{2x})/(m₁ + m₂)

taking derivative again relative to "t" both side

dv/dt = (m₁ dv_{1x}/dt + m₂ dv_{2x}/dt)/(m₁ + m₂)

a= (m₁ a_{1x} + m₂ a_{2x})/(m₁ + m₂)

Why current remains same in series combination of resistors in all resistors and p.d. remains different?
IgorC [24]
Current at all points of a series circuit must be the same, because there's no place in the circuit where electrons are being manufactured, and no place where they're leaking out and falling on the floor. The nimber of electrons that leaves the loop is the same number that entered it. I'm not sure what is nmeant by "p.d. remains different" .
