Will an object with the density of 0.66g float?

A mercury thermometer has a glass bulb of interior volume 0.100 cm3 at 10°c. the glass capillary 10) tube above the bulb has an

Nadya [2.5K]

Initial volume of mercury is
V = 0.1 cm³

The temperature rise is 35 - 5 = 30 ⁰C = 30 ⁰K.

Because the coefficient of volume expansion is 1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K, the change in volume of the mercury is
ΔV = (1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K)*(30 ⁰K)(0.1 cm³) = 5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³

The cross sectional area of the tube is
A = 0.012 mm² = (0.012x10⁻² cm²).
Therefore the rise of mercury in the tube is
h = ΔV/A
= (5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³)/(0.012x10⁻² cm²)
= 4.5 cm

Answer: 4.5 cm

A tightrope walker more easily balances on a tightwire if his pole

cestrela7 [59]

B) droops.

Why?
To maintain balance, you do not need something short so you're balanced well... You need something long and droopy to maintain balance. The pole should be held by your waist and it should be light.

Hope this helps!~

The rate at which heat enters an air conditioned building is often roughly proportional to the difference in temperature between

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Considering first question

Generally the coefficient of performance of the air condition is mathematically represented as

$COP = \frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i}$

Here $T_i$ is the inside temperature

while $T_o$ is the outside temperature

What this coefficient of performance represent is the amount of heat the air condition can remove with 1 unit of electricity

So it implies that the air condition removes $\frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i}$ heat with 1 unit of electricity

Now from the question we are told that the rate at which heat enters an air conditioned building is often roughly proportional to the difference in temperature between inside and outside. This can be mathematically represented as

$Q \ \alpha \ (T_o - T_i)$

=> $Q= k (T_o - T_i)$

Here k is the constant of proportionality

So

since 1 unit of electricity removes $\frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i}$ amount of heat

E unit of electricity will remove $Q= k (T_o - T_i)$

So

$E = \frac{k(T_o - T_i)}{\frac{T_i}{ T_h - T_i} }$

=> $E = \frac{k}{T_i} (T_o - T_i)^2$

given that $\frac{k}{T_i}$ is constant

=> $E \ \alpha \ (T_o - T_i)^2$

From this above equation we see that the electricity required(cost of powering and operating the air conditioner) is approximately proportional to the square of the temperature difference.

Considering the second question

Assuming that $T_i = 30 ^oC$

and $T_o = 40 ^oC$

Hence

$E = K (T_o - T_i)^2$

Here K stand for a constant

So

$E = K (40 - 30)^2$

=> $E = 100K$

Now if the $T_i = 20 ^oC$

Then

$E = K (40 - 20)^2$

=> $E = 400 \ K$

So from this see that the electricity require (cost of powering and operating the air conditioner)when the inside temperature is low is much higher than the electricity required when the inside temperature is higher

Considering the third question

Now in the case where the heat that enters the building is at a rate proportional to the square-root of the temperature difference between inside and outside

We have that

$Q = k (T_o - T_i )^{\frac{1}{2} }$

So

$E = \frac{k (T_o - T_i )^{\frac{1}{2} }}{\frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i} }$

=> $E = \frac{k}{T_i} * (T_o - T_i) ^{\frac{3}{2} }$

Assuming $\frac{k}{T_i}$ is a constant

Then

$E \ \alpha \ (T_o - T_i)^{\frac{3}{2} }$

From this above equation we see that the electricity required(cost of powering and operating the air conditioner) is approximately proportional to the square root of the cube of the temperature difference.
