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>

A red laser from a physics lab is marked as producing 632.8 nm light. When light from this laser falls on two closely spaced sli
goblinko [34]

Given Information:  

Wavelength of the red laser = λr = 632.8 nm

Distance between bright fringes due to red laser = yr = 5 mm

Distance between bright fringes due to laser pointer = yp = 5.14 mm

Required Information:  

Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?

Answer:

Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?

Explanation:

The wavelength of the monochromatic light can be found using young's double slits formula,

y = Dλ/d  

y/λ = D/d

Where

λ is the wavelength

y is the distance between bright fringes.

d is the double slit separation distance

D is the distance from the slits to the screen

For the red laser,

yr/λr = D/d

For the laser pointer,

yp/λp = D/d

Equating both equations yields,

yr/λr = yp/λp

Re-arrange for λp

λp = yp*λr/yr

λp =  (5*632.8)/5.14

λp = 615.56 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of the small laser pointer is 615.56 nm.

A first order reaction, A -&gt; products, has a rate reaction of .00250 Ms-1 when [A] = . 484 M. (a) What is the rate constant,
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: a)  The rate constant, k, for this reaction is 0.00516s^{-1}

b) No t_{\frac{1}{2}} does not depend on concentration.

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

A\rightarrow products

Given: Order with respect to A = 1

Thus rate law is:

a) Rate=k[A]^1

k= rate constant

0.00250=k[0.484]^1

k=0.00516s^{-1}

The rate constant, k, for this reaction is 0.00516s^{-1}

b) Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant  

a - x = amount left after decay process  

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{50}

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.69}{k}

Thus t_{\frac{1}{2}} does not depend on concentration.

True or False<br><br> An object will slow down and stop as long as no forces act upon it
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

Understand Newton’s first law of motion. Experience suggests that an object at rest will remain at rest if left alone, and that an object in motion tends to slow down and stop unless some effort is made to keep it moving. An object will go on forever if there were no forces to act upon it. In space, a rocket will go forever at the speed it projects.

A ball of radius r rolls on the inside of a track of radius R. If the ball starts from rest at the vertical edge of the track, f
meriva

Answer:

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{10g(R-r)}{7}}

Explanation:

Given that

Radius of track = R

Radius of ball = r

The ball can be treated as solid sphere, so

The moment of inertia of ball

I=\dfrac{2}{5}mr^2

When the ball reach at the lowest position then it will have both angular and linear speed.

Condition for  rolling without slipping       v= ωr

Form energy conservation

mgR=mgr+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2

 v= ωr

I=\dfrac{2}{5}mr^2

mgR=mgr+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{2}{5}mr^2\omega^2

mg(R-r)=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{2}{5}mv^2

2mg(R-r)=mv^2+\dfrac{2}{5}mv^2

2g(R-r)=\dfrac{7}{5}v^2

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{10g(R-r)}{7}}
