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.

three girls were pushing the same car with a net force of 450 N [N48°E]. Two of the girls were pushing with forces of 310 N [N25

ElenaW [278]

The net force is the vector

∑ F = (450 N) (cos(42°) i + sin(42°) j)

and two of the forces provided by the girls are

F₁ = (310 N) (cos(115°) i + sin(115°) j)

F₂ = (250 N) (cos(285°) i + sin(285°) j)

Then the force provided by the third girl is the vector

F₃ = ∑ F - F₁ - F₂

F₃ = ((450 N) cos(42°) - (310 N) cos(115°) - (250 N) cos(285°)) i

… … … + ((450 N) sin(42°) - (310 N) sin(115°) - (250 N) sin(285°)) j

F₃ ≈ (400.722 N) i + (261.635 N) j

So, the third girl provided a force of magnitude

||F₃|| = √((400.722 N)² + (261.635 N)²) ≈ 478.572 N ≈ 480 N

pointing in a direction

arctan((261.635 N)/(400.722 N)) ≈ 33.1409° ≈ 33°

relative to East which refers to 0°; that is, 33° N of E or E33°N. Since the other forces are given relative to North or South, we can write this direction as N57°E.

So, the third girl pushed with force 480 N [N57°E].

Which one of the following si units is used to measure current?

kondaur [170]

The unit of electric current is the 'ampere'.

That's the current in the circuit when one coulomb of charge
flows past any fixed point every second.

In which phase transition do molecules directly move from state to state involving a vibration of particles in a fixed position

siniylev [52]

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option It is during sublimation that molecules directly move from state to state involving a vibration of particles in a fixed position to a state involving random movement of high speed particles. It <span> is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase without passing through the intermediate liquid phase. </span>
