As per the question the volume of mercury  is given as 0.002 m^3 at 20 degree Celsius.

We are asked to calculate the volume of the mercury at 50 degree Celsius.

This problem is based on thermal expansion of matter.

Let us consider the initial and final volume of the mercury is denoted as -

                                  v_{1} \ and\ v_{2}

Let the initial and final temperature of the mercury is denoted as -

                                                                    T_{1}\ and \ T_{2}

As per question

v_{1} =0.002 m^3                v_{2} =?

T_{1} =20^0 C                      T_{2} =50^0 C

The change in temperature is

                                             T_{2} -T_{1}

                                         = 50^0 C -20^0 C

                                               = 30^0 C

Mercury is a fluid.So we have to apply volume expansion of liquid .

The coefficient of of volume expansion of mercury [ \gamma ] at 20 degree Celsius is 0.00018 per centigrade.

As per volume expansion of liquid,

                                       V_{T} = v_{1} [1 +\gamma [T_{2} -T_{1} ]]

Here V_{T} is the volume at T degree Celsius.

Hence volume at 50 degree Celsius is calculated as-

                               v_{2} =v_{1} [1+\gamma[50-30]]

                                       = 0.002[1+0.00018*30]

                                       =0.0020108m^3  [ans]

As per the options given in the question ,option A is close to the calculated value. So option A is right.

<span>The answer to this question lies in understanding the Combined Gas Law in chemistry, which combines Boyle's, Charles', and Gay-Lussac's gas laws. This law shows the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature of gases and is represented by the equation P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2. Changes in pressure (P) and volume (V) are directly proportional to one another, but these are inversely proportional to changes in temperature (T). This question must assume that pressure is constant, so the Ps cancel out and the equation becomes V1/T1 = V2/T2. Additionally, temperature should be converted to Kelvins (K) by adding 273 to the temperature in Celsius (so 20 C = 293 K, and 50 C = 323 K). If V1 = 0.002 and T1 = 293 and T2 = 323, then we solve the equation as V2 = T2*V1/T1 or V2 = (323*0.002)/293, so the answer is approximately equal to 0.0022... or answer (C).</span>

Vladimir79 [104]
<span>The current is 6 miles per hour.
   Let's create a few equations:
 Traveling with the current:
 (18 + c)*t = 16

   Traveling against the current:
 (18 - c)*t = 8

   Let's multiply the 2nd equation by 2
 (18 - c)*t*2 = 16

   Now subtract the 1st equation from the equation we just doubled.
 (18 - c)*t*2 = 16
 (18 + c)*t = 16

   (18 - c)*t*2 - (18 + c)*t = 0
 Divide both sides by t
 (18 - c)*2 - (18 + c) = 0

   Now solve for c
 (18 - c)*2 - (18 + c) = 0
 36 - 2c - 18 - c = 0
 36 - 2c - 18 - c = 0
 18 - 3c = 0
 18 = 3c
  6 = c

   So the current is 6 mph.
   Let's verify that.
 (18 + 6)*t = 16
 24*t = 16
 t = 16/24 = 2/3

   (18 - 6)*t = 8
 12*t = 8
 t = 8/12 = 2/3

   And it's verified.</span>

MArishka [77]
I think that the wavelengths of an incoming solar radiation are shorter than the wavelengths of reradiated heat. This is because the incoming solar radiation to the surface of the earth is in the utraviolet (short) to near infrared (long) wavelength bands. After absorption has taken place, surfaces reradiate heat energy back to the atmosphere at long wavelength infrared.

Nostrana [21]

<u><em>The  question doesn't provide enough data to be solved, but I'm assuming some magnitudes to help you to solve your own problem</em></u>

Answer:

<em>The maximum height is 0.10 meters</em>

Explanation:

<u>Energy Transformation</u>

It's referred to as the change of one energy from one form to another or others. If we compress a spring and then release it with an object being launched on top of it, all the spring (elastic) potential energy is transformed into kinetic and gravitational energies. When the object stops in the air, all the initial energy is now gravitational potential energy.

If a spring of constant K is compressed a distance x, its potential energy is

\displaystyle P_E=\frac{Kx^2}{2}

When the launched object (mass m) reaches its max height h, all that energy is now gravitational, which is computed as

U=mgh

We have then,

U=P_E

\displaystyle mgh=\frac{Kx^2}{2}

Solving for h

\displaystyle h=\frac{Kx^2}{2mg}

We have little data to work on the problem, so we'll assume some values to answer the question and help to solve the problem at hand

Let's say: x=0.2 m (given), K=100 N/m, m=2 kg

Computing the maximum height

\displaystyle h=\frac{(100)0.2^2}{2(2)(9.8)}

\displaystyle h=\frac{4}{39.2}=0,10\ m

The maximum height is 0.10 meters
