Mercury and Alcohol
Mercury:

i) It is a good conductor of heat and therefore the whole liquid reaches the temperature of the surroundings quickly.

ii) It does not wet (cling to the sides of) the tube.

Alcohol:

i) Alcohol has greater value of temperature coefficient of expansion than mercury.

ii) it's freezing point is below –100°C.

Answer:

$\dfrac{dz}{dt}=0.65\ ft/s$

Explanation:

Given that

x= 150 ft

$\dfrac{dy}{dt}= 7\ ft/s$

y= 14 ft

From the diagram

$z^2=x^2+y^2$

When ,x= 150 ft and y= 14 ft

$z^2=150^2+14^2$

$z=\sqrt{150^2+15^2}$

z=150.74 ft

$z^2=x^2+y^2$

By differentiating with respect to time t

$2z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= 2x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+2y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

$z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

Here x is constant that is why

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=0$

$z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

$150.74\times \dfrac{dz}{dt}=14\times 7$

$\dfrac{dz}{dt}=\dfrac{14\times 7}{150.74}\ ft/s$

$\dfrac{dz}{dt}=0.65\ ft/s$

Therefore the distance between balloon and observer increasing with 0.65 ft/s.

What of the following is the mathematical form of boyles law?

viva [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

V=1/p

By means of cross multiplication so by that we will have pv=1 which also implies p1v1=p2v2 coz boyles law states that the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to pressure provided that the temperature in kelvin remains constant

What is the period of a wave with a frequency of 100 Hz and a wavelength of 2.0 m

spin [16.1K]

The answer for the following answer is answered below.

Therefore the time period of the wave is 0.01 seconds.
Therefore the option for the answer is "B".

Explanation:

Frequency (f):

The number of waves that pass a fixed place in a given amount of time.

The SI unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz)

Time period (T):

The time taken for one complete cycle of vibration to pass a given point.

The SI unit of time period is seconds (s)

Given:

frequency (f) = 100 Hz

wavelength (λ) = 2.0 m

To calculate:

Time period (T)

We know;

According to the formula;

f = $\frac{1}{T}$

Where,

f represents the frequency

T represents the time period

from the formula;

T = $\frac{1}{f}$

T = $\frac{1}{100}$

T = 0.01 seconds

Therefore the time period of the wave is 0.01 seconds.
