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.

You are In-line skates at the top of a small hill. Your potential energy is equal to 1000 J. The last time we checked, your mass

stira [4]

A) Weight = mass × acceleration (due to gravity)

= 60×9.8

= 588 N

B) Potential energy = mass x gravity x change in height

1,000 = 60.0 x 9.8 x h

h = 1.7 m

C) Kinetic energyF = potential energyI

KEF = 1/2mv2

PEI = mgh = 1,000 J

1/2mv2 = 1,000

1/2(60.0)v2 = 1,000

v2 = 33.33

v = 5.77 m/s

"5 N, up" is an example of a ___. OA) force OB) mass OC) weight OD) magnitude

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

A) Force

Explanation:

It is an example of force since force is a vector quantity so it has magnitude and direction. In this case the magnitude is equal to 5 [N] and the direction is upward.

The weight can not be, as it always acts downward.

Mass is not a force, its unit is given usually in kilogram [kg]

A force of 8.0 N is along x direction, another force of 6.0 N is along +y direction. If both forces are acting on a point object

Darya [45]

Answer:

Resultant force, R = 10 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting along +x direction, $F_x=8\ N$

Force acting along +y direction, $F_y=6\ N$

Both the forces are acting on a point object located at the origin. Let the resultant force of the object is given by R. So,

$R=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2+F_xF_y\ cos\theta}$

Here $\theta=90^{\circ}$

$R=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}$

$R=\sqrt{8^2+6^2}$

R = 10 N

So, the resultant force on the object is 10 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
