A physicist makes a cup of instant coffee and notices that, as the coffee cools, its level drops 3.00 mm in the glass cup. Show

that this decrease cannot be due to thermal contraction by calculating the decrease in level if the 350cm3 of coffee is in a 7.00-cm-diameter cup and decreases in temperature from 95.0°C to 45.0°C . (Most of the drop in level is actually due to escaping bubbles of air.)

Answer:

Decrease in level by thermal contraction  = 0.0076 mm

Drops in level = 3 mm

Therefore The decrease in level is not due to thermal contraction

Explanation:

From linear expansivity,

L₂ = L₁ +(1 + αΔT).............................. equation 1

Where L₂ = final length (m), L₁ = initial length, α = linear expansivity of liquid, ΔT = change in temperature.

Where L₁ = level of coffee in the glass cup = V/(πd²)/4..................... equation 2

     L₁ = 4V/πd², where V= Volume of coffee, d = diameter of the cup,

    L₁ = 350cm³, d = 7.00cm, and    π = 22/7 = 3.143

applying these values in equation 2 above,

     ∴  L ₁=( 4×350)/(3.143×7²)

       L₁ = 9.09

α = γ/3  Where γ = Volumetric expansion coefficient of liquid. = 0.00005/°C

α = 0.00005/3 = 0.0000167/°C, ΔT = L₂ - L₁ = 45 -95 = -50 °C.

Applying these values in equation 1 above,

L₂ = 9.09 [1+{0.0000167×(-50)}]

L₂ = 9.09 [1 - 0.000833]

L₂ = 9.09(0.999167)

L₂ = 9.082cm

∴ ΔL = Decrease in length = L₂ - L₁ = 9.082 - 9.09 = 0.3 cm

   ΔL = 0.0076

Decrease in level =0.076 mm

From the above, the decrease in level is not due to thermal contraction.

As Thermal contraction is less than Drops in level.

Voices of swimmers at a pool travel 400 m/s through the air and 1,600 m/s underwater. The wavelength changes from 2 m in the air
frosja888 [35]

The frequency of the wave has not changed.

In fact, the frequency of a wave is given by:

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where v is the wave's speed and \lambda is the wavelength.

Applying the formula:

- In air, the frequency of the wave is:

f=\frac{400 m/s}{2 m}=200 Hz

- underwater, the frequency of the wave is:

f=\frac{1600 m/s}{8 m}=200 Hz

So, the frequency has not changed.

A spring with a spring constant of 350 N/m pulls a door closed. How much work is done as the spring pulls the door at a constant
german

The work done to stretch the spring will be 112 J.

<h3>What is spring force?</h3>

The force required to extend or compress a spring by some distance scales linearly with respect to that distance is known as the spring force. Its formula is

F = kx

The given data in the problem is;

F is the spring force =?

K is the spring constant= 8.5 N/m

x is the length by which spring got stretched = 1.2m

The work is done to stretch the spring is;

\rm W= \frac{1}{2} kx^2 \\\\ W=\frac{1}{2} \times 350 \times (0.850-0.050)^2 \\\\ W=0.5 \times 350 \times (0.80)^2 \\\\W=112 \ J

7. Two people are pushing a 40.0kg table across the floor. Person 1 pushes with a force of 490N
artcher [175]

Answer:

20.4 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

To start doing this problem, first draw a free body diagram of the table. My teacher always tells us to do this, and I find that it is very helpful. I have attached a free body diagram to this answer- take a look at it.

First, let us see if Net force = MA. To do that, we need to determine whether the object is at equilibrium horizontally. For an object to be at equilibrium, it either needs to be moving at a constant velocity or not moving at all. Also, if an object is at equilibrium, there will not be any acceleration. But we know that there IS acceleration horizontally, so it cannot be in equilibrium. If it is not in equilibrium, we can use the formula ∑F= ma.

Let us determine the net force. Since the object is moving horizontally, we can ignore the weight and normal force, because they are vertical forces. The only horizontal forces we need to worry about are the applied force and force of friction.

Applied force = 1055 N (490 + 565)

Friction force= Unknown

To find the friction force, use the kinetic friction formula, Friction = μkN

μk is the coefficient, which the problem includes- it is 0.613.

N is the normal force, which we have to find.

*To find the normal force, we have to determine if the object is at equilibrium VERTICALLY. Since it has no acceleration vertically (it's not moving up/down), it is at equilibrium. Now, when an object is at equilibrium in one direction, it means that all the forces in that direction are equal. What are our vertical forces? Weight (mg) and Normal force (N). So it means that the Normal force is equal to the Weight.

Weight = mg = (40)(9.8) = 392 N

Normal force = 392 N

Now, plug it back into the formula (μkN): (0.613)(392) = 240.296 N

Friction = 240.296 N

Now that we know the friction, we can find the horizontal net force. Just subtract the friction force, 240.296 from the applied force, 1055 N

Horizontal Net Force: 814.704 N

Now that we know the net force, plug in the numbers for the formula

∑F= ma.

814.704 = (40.0)(a)

*Divide on both sides)

a = 20.3676 m/s^2

Round it to 3 significant figures, to get:

20.4 m/s^{2}

Imagine a ringing bell set inside a sealed glass jar. Once all the air is removed and a vacuum is crated, the ringing sound is n
kenny6666 [7]

working...

Sound wave needs medium to travel

as energy which travels in this wave is because of transfer from one particle to another particle

If there is no medium then energy can not be transferred and sound wave will not travel

so in vacuum we can not listen sound

similarly here air is removed it means there is no medium inside the jar to travel the sound and hence we can not hear it

Option B is correct

Without air, the sound waves cannot travel to the ear.
