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).

If the pendulum is brought on the moon where the gravitational acceleration is about g/6, approximately what will its period now
Andru [333]

Answer:

The new period will be √6 *T

Explanation:

period ,T=2π√(L/g)       ................equation 1

where T is the period on earth

gravitational acceleration on the moon is g/6

T1 = 2π√[L/(g/6)]

T1=2π√(6L/g)               ...............equation 2

divide equation 2 by 1

T1/T =2π√(6L/g)÷2π√(L/g)

T1/T =√(6L/L)

T1/T =√6

T1 = √6 *T
