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.

The amount of gas that a helicopter uses is directly proportional to the number of hours spent flying. the helicopter flies for

igomit [66]

Answer:

The helicopter uses 35 gallons to fly for 5 hours.

Explanation:

The amount of gas that a helicopter uses for flying varies directly proportional to the number of hours spent flying.

g ∝ T

where g represents amount of gas and T time of flight.

Then,

$\therefore \frac{g_1}{g_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}$

The helicopter files 4 hours and uses 28 gallons of fuel.

Here, g₁= 28 gallons, T₁=4 hours

g₂=?, T₂=5 hours.

$\therefore \frac{g_1}{g_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{28}{g_2}=\frac{4}{5}$

⇒28×5= g₂×4

⇒ g₂×4=28×5

$\Rightarrow g_2=\frac{28\times 5}{4}$

$\Rightarrow g_2=35$ gallons

The helicopter uses 35 gallons to fly for 5 hours.

24. An elevator is moving vertically up with an acceleration a. The force exerted on the floor by a passenger of mass m is

Wewaii [24]

Given :-

An elevator is moving vertically up with an acceleration a.

To Find :-

The force exerted on the floor by a passenger of mass m .

Solution :-

As the man is in a accelerated frame that is non inertial frame , we would have to think of a pseudo force .

The direction of this force is opposite to the direction of acceleration the frame and its magnitude is equal to the product of mass of the concerned body with the acceleration of the frame .

For the FBD refer to the attachment . From that ,

$\implies Weight_{apparent}= mg + ma$

Hence option d is correct choice .

I hope this helps .

Explain briefly why metals are good conductors of electric current

Mice21 [21]

The free electrons in metals can move through the metal, all while receiving and losing electrons, allowing metals to conduct electricity. Example: copper is a great conductor of electric current.
