A prisoner tries to escape from a Nashville, Tennessee prison by hiding in the laundry truck. The prisoner is surprised when the

truck is stopped at the gate. A guard enters the truck and handcuffs him. "How did you know I was here?" the prisoner asks. "The heartbeat detector," says the guard.A heartbeat detector senses the tiny vibrations caused by blood pumped from the heart. With each heartbeat, blood is pumped upward to the aorta, and the body recoils slightly, conserving the momentum of the blood-body system. The body's vibrations are transferred to the inside of the truck. Vibration sensors on the outside of the truck are linked to a geophone, or signal amplifier, attached to a computer. A wave analyzer program in the computer compares vibration signals from the truck to wavelets produced by heartbeat vibrations. The wave analyzer distinguishes a person's heartbeat from other vibrations in the truck or in the surrounding environment, allowing guards to detect the presence of a human in the truck.What does the heartbeat detector sense?1-Electric signals caused by electric dipole charges produced on the heart.2-Body vibrations caused by blood pumped from the heart.3-Sound caused by breathing.4-Slight uncontrollable reflexive motions of an enclosed person.5-All of the above

Answer:

2. Body vibrations caused by blood pumped from the heart.

Explanation:

From the passage, it can be deduced that the heartbeat detector senses the tiny vibrations caused by blood pumped from the heart.

The prisoner asked the guard, "How did you know I was here?"

The guard responded,

"The heartbeat detector,"

The coefficient of linear expansion of ordinary glass is three times that of Pyrex glass. An ordinary glass rod and a Pyrex glas
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

b. 3 times

Explanation:

Lets take

Coefficient for ordinary glass = α₁

Coefficient for pyrex glass = α₂

 Given that α₁ = 3 α₂

Initial length of both glasses are equal = L

Change in the temperature is also same .= ΔT

We know that change in the length  given as

ΔL =  L α ΔT

Therefore

\dfrac{\Delta L_1}{\Delta L_2}=\dfrac{L\alpha_1\Delta T}{L\alpha_2\Delta T}

\dfrac{\Delta L_1}{\Delta L_2}=\dfrac{3\alpha_2}{\alpha_2}

ΔL₁ = 3ΔL₂

Therefore change in the length of original glass is three time of pyrex glass.

b. 3 times
