A snail at position 3 cm moves to position 20 cm in 8 seconds.

Answer: 17cm.

Explanation:

The equation you're using is:

Δd = df - di

Which means the change in position is equal to the final position minus the starting position. In this case that works out to 20cm - 3cm = 17cm. We're only interested in how much the snail moved, not how long it took to move, so even though they give a time it actually doesn't matter for this question.

If a series circuit contains a 12-V battery, a 6-ohm resistor, and a 4-ohm resistor, what is the current in the circuit?
Shalnov [3]

In a series circuit the total current is the same throughout resistors and so:

I_{total}=I_1=I_2

The voltage is distributed throughout the resistors and so:

V_{total}=V_1+V_2

and the total resistance can be calculated by adding up the resistors resistance:

R_{total}=R_1+R_2

First thing is to calculate the total resistance and so:

R_{total}=6\Omega + 4\Omega = 10\Omega

And by Omh's law V=IR we have:

V_{total}=I_{total}R_{total}\\\\I_{total}=\frac{V_{total}}{R_{total}}= \frac{12V}{10\Omega} =1.2A

And so the total current of the circuit is 1.2 amps i.e. 1.2 A.

Explain maximum and minimum thermometer working(answer only for points will be reported)​
belka [17]

Explanation:

  • Six’s Maximum and Minimum thermometer is a U shaped parallel tube made up of glass. One side registers the maximum temperature and the other side records the minimum temperature.
  • The bend at the bottom of the thermometer contains mercury which moves up or down based on the expansion and contraction of alcohol.
  • When the temperature rises, the alcohol expands and pushes the mercury up the maximum column. This also pushes the mercury down in the minimum column.
  • Similarly, when the temperature falls, the alcohol contracts and pulls the mercury up in the minimum column resulting in a fall of mercury in the maximum column.
  • The steel indexes are located on the surface of mercury. They move along with the flow of mercury up and down.
  • When the temperature reaches its maximum and minimum limits, the metal indexes remain at that place. This helps in recording the maximum and minimum temperatures of the day.
