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.

Which part of the wave is changed when there is interference?
Rasek [7]
When 2 waves interefere (or collide with eachother), it usually affects the crest of the wave. If both waves collide with both crests, it will create an amplified crest, and the waves will pass through eachother afterwards. If a trough of a wave meets a crest, it will cause the crest to be lowered shortly before both continue on.

I'm completely lost in physics, the Kinematics and dynamics units.. My exam is coming up.. If a biker travelling at 6.4m/s sees
Alexeev081 [22]
D=rt
when biker A catches biker B, the time they've been riding is the same, so 
t=t, or d/r=d/r
the rates are 6.4 and 4.7, so
d/6.4=d/4.7
biker B is 34m ahead, so 
(d+34)/6.4=d/4.7
multiply both sides by 6.4*4.7:
4.7(d+34)=6.4d
4.7d+=6.4d+159.8
1.7d=159.8
d=94 meters

Another way to think of it is that biker A gains 1.7 meters on B every second (6.4-4.7=1.5), so the time it'll take for him to gain 34 meters is 34/1.7=20 seconds. In that time, biker B travels 4.7*20=94 meters
