Rudiy273 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

1) Liquid in glass thermometer: This type of thermometer is used primarily to measure the temperatures from inspection of changes in volume of liquid.

Thermometry substance is mercury or alcohol

2) Gas thermometer: This type is used to measure temperature as a result of changes in gas pressure or volume.

Thermometry substance is Gas.

3) Resistance thermometer: This type is used to measure temperature due to changes in electric resistance.

Thermometry substance is Resistance wire.

4) Thermocouple thermometer: This type is used to measure the temperature due to changes in electrical potential difference occurring between two metal junctions.

Thermometry substance is two wires that are dissimilar.

5) Bimetallic thermometer: This is a type of thermometer that measures temperature by converting temperature into mechanical displacement by making use of Bimetallic strip.

Thermometry substance is two metals that are dissimilar.

A 40.0 kg wagon is towed up a hill inclined at 18.5 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The tow rope is parallel to the incl
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

7.9m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of wagon=40 kg

\theta=18.5^{\circ}

Tension=140 N

Initial velocity of wagon=u=0

Displacement=s=80 m

Net force applied  on wagon=F=T-mgsin\theta=140-40(9.8)sin18.5=15.7 N

By using g=9.8m/s^2

a=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{15.7}{40}=0.39m/s^2

We know that

v^2-u^2=2as

Using the formula

v^2=2\times 0.39\times 80

v=\sqrt{2\times 0.39\times 80}=7.9m/s

Identify three situations in which convection occurs.
Minchanka [31]
A boiling pot of water (the water travels in a current throughout the pot), a hot air balloon (hot air rises, making the balloon rise) , and cup of a steaming, hot liquid (hot air rises, creating steam) are all situations where convection occurs.

When two point charges are a distance d part, the electric force that each one feels from the other has magnitude F. In order to
Contact [7]

Answer:

Because the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged particles is given by

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the magnitudes of the two charges

d is the distance between the two charges

We observe that the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

Therefore, when the distance changes to

d'=\frac{d}{\sqrt{2}}

The force will double:

F'=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(d/\sqrt{2})^2}=2(k\frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2})=2F
