State the reason why wick lamps are made of cotton

Physics
1 answer:
ad-work [718]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

<em>Reason:- We use cotton to make the wick of a spirit lamp because cotton has thread strands which act like fine capillaries and help in drawing up a steady supply of oil in the lamp for burning by capillary action</em>

A piston/cylinder contains 2 kg of water at 20◦C with a volume of 0.1 m3. By mistake someone locks the piston, preventing it fro
morpeh [17]

Answer:

Hi

Final temperature = 250.11 °C

Final volume = 0,1 m3.

Process work = 0

Explanation:

The specific volume in the initial state is: v = 0.1m3/2 kg = 0.05 m3/kg.

This volume is located between the volumes as saturated liquid and saturated steam at 20 °C. For this reason the water is initially in a liquid vapor mixture. As the piston was blocked the volume remains constant and the process is isometric, also known as isocoric process, so the final temperature will be the water temperature at a saturated steam of v=0.05m3/kg, which is obtained by using steam tables for water, by linear interpolation. As follows, using table A-4 of the Cengel book 7th Edition:

v=0.05 m3/kg

v1=0.057061 m3/kg

T1=242.56°C

v2=0.049779 m3/kg

T2=250.35°C

T=\frac{T2-T1}{v2-v1} x(v-v1)+T1=\frac{250.35°C-242.56°C}{0.049779m3/kg-0.057061m3/kg}x(0.05m3/kg-0.057061m3/kg)+242.56°C=250.11°C

The process work is zero because there is no change in volume during heating:

W=PxΔv=Px0=0

where

W=process work

P=pressure

Δv=change of volume, is zero because the piston was blocked so the volume remains constant.

A circuit has a current of 1.2 A. If the voltage decreases to one third of its original amount while the resistance remains cons
Katen [24]
When resistance is constant, current is proportional to voltage. When 1/3 the voltage is applied, 1/3 the current will result.

(1/3)*(1.2 A) = 0.4 A

The resulting current will be 0.4 A.

user100 [1]

Answer:

4.2 is the answer

Explanation

The image formed in a plane mirror is an equal distance behind the mirror as the object in front of it.

Step 1: the equation to this problem would be: 8.4/2

Step 2: 8.4 ÷ 2 = 4.2
