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).

What’s the voltage of a battery in a circuit with resistance of 3 ohms and current of 5 amps?
alexira [117]

Answer: The correct answer is-15 Volts.

Explanation-

Voltage of a battery can be defined as the difference in electric potential that lies between the positive and negative terminals of a battery.

It can be calculated using Ohm's law, which states that the electric potential difference between two points on a circuit is equal to the product of the current that flows between the two points (I) and the total resistance that sis present between the two points. It can be mathematically depicted as-

ΔV = I • R  

Putting the value of 'I' and 'R', we get-

ΔV = 5 X 3

    =  15 V

Jose is loading his luggage into his car so that he can go to visit his grandmother. He lifts his suitcase up a 10 m staircase i
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The work done on the suitcase is, W = 600 J

Explanation:

Given,

The average force exerted by Jose on his suitcase,  F = 60 N

Jose carried the suitcase to a distance, S = 10 m

The work done on the suitcase is given by the relation

                           <em>W = F x S</em>

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                            W = 60 N x 10 m

                                 = 600 J

Hence, the work done on the suitcase is, W = 600 J

A student read his right ear against his desk while Teacher talks loudly on the desk and can hear the tapping sound only through
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The student hears the wave that is transmitted by the desk

Explanation:

Mechanical waves need a material medium to be able to be transmitted, in the case of sound waves, one of the most common media is air, but it is also transmitted in other media in this case, stationery is transmitted.

The student hears the wave that is transmitted by the desk

The speed of the wave is proportional to the density of the material, so the wave that the student hears arrives much faster through the desk than through the air
