Answer:

Explanation:

Reason why Mercury is preferred to alcohol as thermometric liquids. 1. Mercury has a much greater conductivity than alcohol and expands rapidly, and thus indicates a temperature change quickly. ... Mercury does not wet glass but alcohol because of its concave meniscus tends to cling to the walls of stem of the thermometer.

You are designing a generator with a maximum emf 8.0 V. If the generator coil has 200 turns and a cross-sectional area of 0.030

shutvik [7]

Answer:

7.1 Hz

Explanation:

In a generator, the maximum induced emf is given by

$\epsilon= 2\pi NAB f$

where

N is the number of turns in the coil

A is the area of the coil

B is the magnetic field strength

f is the frequency

In this problem, we have

N = 200

$A=0.030 m^2$

$\epsilon=8.0 V$

B = 0.030 T

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the frequency of the generator:

$f=\frac{\epsilon}{2\pi NAB}=\frac{8.0 V}{2\pi (200)(0.030 m^2)(0.030 T)}=7.1 Hz$

It is easier to drive In sharp nails in a piece of wood than the blunt ones why?

murzikaleks [220]

The sharp nail has a less surface area in comparison to a blunt nail and pressure is inversely proportional to area so it is easier to Hamer a sharp nail into a wood rather than having a blunt nail in wood
