Precautions to be taken for the displacement method

Physics
1 answer:
finlep [7]3 years ago

Volume by Displacement. The displacement method (submersion, or dunking method) can be used to accurately measure the volume of the human body and other oddly shaped objects by measuring the volume of fluid displaced when the object is submerged.

The following precautions should be taken very observantly:-

The line of sight must be perpendicular to measuring scale to avoid parallax error. Formation of bubbles inside the cylinder should be completely avoided. Any bubbles within leads to wrong measurements.

What causes different colors to appear in the sky.
dlinn [17]

Answer:

The colors of the sunset result from a phenomenon called scattering. Molecules and small particles in the atmosphere change the direction of light rays, causing them to scatter. ... The short-wavelength blue and violet are scattered by molecules in the air much more than other colors of the spectrum.

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

a. 5 × 10¹⁹ protons b. 2.05 × 10⁷ °C

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

A beam of protons is moving toward a target in a particle accelerator. This beam constitutes a current whose value is 0.42 A. (a) How many protons strike the target in 19 seconds? (b) Each proton has a kinetic energy of 6.0 x 10-12 J. Suppose the target is a 17-gram block of metal whose specific heat capacity is 860 J/(kg Co), and all the kinetic energy of the protons goes into heating it up. What is the change in temperature of the block at the end of 19 s?

Solution

a.

i = Q/t = ne/t

n = it/e where i = current = 0.42 A, n = number of protons, e = proton charge = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C and t = time = 19 s

So n = 0.42 A × 19 s/1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

       = 4.98 × 10¹⁹ protons

       ≅ 5 × 10¹⁹ protons

b

The total kinetic energy of the protons = heat change of target

total kinetic energy of the protons = n × kinetic energy per proton

                                                         = 5 × 10¹⁹ protons × 6.0 × 10⁻¹² J per proton

                                                         = 30 × 10⁷ J

heat change of target = Q = mcΔT ⇒ ΔT = Q/mc where m = mass of block = 17 g = 0.017 kg and c = specific heat capacity = 860 J/(kg °C)

ΔT = Q/mc = 30 × 10⁷ J/0.017 kg × 860 J/(kg °C)

     = 30 × 10⁷/14.62

     = 2.05 × 10⁷ °C
