D. thermometer. The warmer it gets, the more energy the particles gain and the more they move and 'expand', rising up the thermometer.

The correct answer to the question is : D) Thermometre

EXPLANATION:

Thermometre is the device used for measuring the temperature of any substance.

Thermal expansion is the process in which the substance will expand when heat is given to that substance. Thermometre is based on the property of thermal expansion.

Generally, the substance that is used in thermometre is mercury. It expands at a fast rate when a little bit of heat is given to the thermometre.

When the thermometre is connected to any body, the heat will flow from body at high temperature to thermometre. The mercury level rises in the thermometre tube which gives the temperature of that substance under consideration.

Hence, it is the thermometre which is based on thermal expansion.

What two quantities do you have to know to calculate the density of and object?

charle [14.2K]

'Density' is defined as (mass) / (volume). You need enough information to be able to measure or calculate the mass and the volume of the object.

Suppose students experiment with the tube and a variety of darts. Some darts have higher masses than others but are the same aer

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The dart with the small mass will travel the farthest distance.

Explanation:

Acceleration is proportional to force times mass, and inertia is proportional to mass. Inertia is the reluctance of a moving body to stop, and a stationary body to start moving (inertia increses with mass). Assuming they both have the same aerodynamic design, and that they are both launched with the same force applied for the same time duration, the dart with less small mass will accelerate faster than the big mass dart. From this we can see that the small dart will have covered a longer distance before the effect of the force stops, when compared to the more massive dart.

Pls help A car starts from rest and gains a velocity of 20m/s in 10 seconds calculate its acceleration and the distance covered

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Acceleration \ (a) = 2 \ m/s^{2}}$

$\boxed{\sf Distance \ covered \ (s) = 100 \ m}$

Given:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 20 m/s

Time taken (t) = 10 sec

To Find:

(i) Acceleration (a)

(ii) Distance covered (s)

Explanation:

$\sf (i) \ From \ 1^{st} \ equation \ of \ motion:$

$\sf \implies v = u + at$

$\sf \implies 20 = 0 + a(10)$

$\sf \implies 10a = 20$

$\sf \implies \frac{10a}{10} = \frac{20}{10}$

$\sf \implies a = 2 \: m/ {s}^{2}$

$\sf (ii) \ From \ 2^{nd} \ equation \ of \ motion:$

$\sf \implies s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}$

$\sf \implies s = (0)(10) + \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times {(10)}^{2}$

$\sf \implies s = \frac{1}{ \cancel{2}} \times \cancel{2} \times {(10)}^{2}$

$\sf \implies s = {10}^{2}$

$\sf \implies s = 100 \: m$

Consider a model of a hydrogen atom in which an electron is in a circular orbit of radius r = 5.92×10−11 m around a stationary p

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

2.068 x 10^6 m / s

Explanation:

radius, r = 5.92 x 10^-11 m

mass of electron, m = 9.1 x 10^-31 kg

charge of electron, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

As the electron is revolving in a circular path, it experiences a centripetal force which is balanced by the electrostatic force between the electron and the nucleus.

centripetal force = $\frac{mv^{2}}{r}$
