The temperature of the body is equal to 39.48°C

Why?

To find the temperature of the body that produces 9.0cm of this mercury column, we need to use the formula for linear interpolation. Also, the temperatures to use are based on the Celsius degrees scale.

For the fixed tempetatures, we have:

1.26cm=0\°C(ColdWaterPoint)\\20.86cm=100\°C(BoilingWater)Point\\

We need to use the following formula for linear interpolation:

y=\frac{x-x_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}*(y_{2}-y_{1})+y_{1}

Then, we have:

1.26cm=0\°C\\20.86cm=100\°C\\9.0cm=???\\\\x_{1}=1.26cm,y_{1}=0\°C\\\\x_{2}=20.86cm,y_{2}=100\°C\\\\x=9.0cm,y=???

So, interpolating we have:

y=\frac{(9cm-1.26cm)}{(20.86cm-1.26cm)}*(100\°C -0\°C)+0\°C\\\\y=0.39*100\°C=39.48100\°C

Hence, the temperature of the body is equal to 39.48°C

Have a nice day!

If a wire lies withina magnetic field what must be true for the magnetic field to produce an electric current in the wire
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The magnetic field through the wire must be changing

Explanation:

According to Faraday's law, the induced emf, ε in a metallic conductor is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux,Φ  through it. This is stated mathematically as ε = dΦ/dt.

Now for the wire, the magnetic flux through it is given by Φ = ABcosθ where A = cross-sectional area of wire, B = magnetic field and θ = angle between A and B.

So, dΦ/dt = dABcosθ/dt

Since A and B are constant,

dΦ/dt = ABdcosθ/dt = -(dθ/dt)ABsinθ

Since dθ/dt implies a change in the angle between A and B, since A is constant, it implies that B must be rotating.

So, <u>for an electric current (or voltage) to be produced in the wire, the magnetic field must be rotating or changing</u>.

How can i tell the difference between a one element and another?
dybincka [34]


Normally, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons, which makes atoms electrically neutral. The number of protons in an atom is the defining feature of an atom. It's what makes one element different from another

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
