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.

A person throws a stone from the corner edge of a building. The stone's initial velocity is 28.0 m/s directed at 43.0° above the
Naya [18.7K]

The stone's acceleration, velocity, and position vectors at time t are

\mathbf a(t)=-g\,\mathbf j

\mathbf v(t)=v_{i,x}\,\mathbf i+\left(v_{i,y}-gt\right)\,\mathbf j

\mathbf r(t)=v_{i,x}t\,\mathbf i+\left(y_i+v_{i,y}t-\dfrac g2t^2\right)\,\mathbf j

where

g=9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}

v_{i,x}=\left(28.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos43.0^\circ\approx20.478\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

v_{i,y}=\left(28.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin43.0^\circ\approx19.096\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

and y_i is the height of the building and initial height of the rock.

(a) After 6.1 s, the stone has a height of 5 m. Set the vertical component (\mathbf j) of the position vector to 5 m and solve for y_i:

5\,\mathrm m=y_i+\left(19.096\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(6.1\,\mathrm s)-\dfrac12\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6.1\,\mathrm s)^2

\implies\boxed{y_i\approx70.8\,\mathrm m}

(b) Evaluate the horizontal component (\mathbf i) of the position vector when t=6.1\,\mathrm s:

\left(20.478\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(6.1\,\mathrm s)\approx\boxed{124.92\,\mathrm m}

(c) The rock's velocity vector has a constant horizontal component, so that

v_{f,x}=v_{i,x}\approx20.478\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

where v_{f,x}

For the vertical component, recall the formula,

{v_{f,y}}^2-{v_{i,y}}^2=2a\Delta y

where v_{i,y} and v_{f,y} are the initial and final velocities, a is the acceleration, and \Delta y is the change in height.

When the rock hits the ground, it will have height y_f=0. It's thrown from a height of y_i, so \Delta y=-y_i. The rock is effectively in freefall, so a=-g. Solve for v_{f,y}:

{v_{f,y}}^2-\left(19.096\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=2(-g)(-124.92\,\mathrm m)

\implies v_{f,y}\approx-53.039\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

(where we took the negative square root because we know that v_{f,y} points in the downward direction)

So at the moment the rock hits the ground, its velocity vector is

\mathbf v_f=\left(20.478\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(-53.039\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf j

which has a magnitude of

\|\mathbf v_f\|=\sqrt{\left(20.478\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2+\left(-53.039\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2}\approx\boxed{56.855\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}

(d) The acceleration vector stays constant throughout, so

\mathbf a(t)=\boxed{-g\,\mathbf j}

If a vector A has components A. 0, and Ay -0, then the magnitude of the vector is negative. Select one: True False
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The magnitude of any vector is given by,

||A||=\sqrt{A_x^2+A_y^2}

The magnitude of anything is never negative. It can be even seen from the formula that the components are squared. A squared value can never be negative. Even if the component is negative the square will be always positive.

So, magnitude of the vector is <u>not</u> negative.

A thin rod of length 0.75 m and mass 0.42 kg is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to one side and then allowed to swin
Goshia [24]

Answer:

(A) 0.63 J  

(B) 0.15 m

Explanation:

length (L) = 0.75 m

mass (m) =0.42 kg

angular speed (ω) = 4 rad/s

To solve the questions (a) and (b) we first need to calculate the rotational inertia of the rod (I)

I = Ic + mh^{2}  

Ic is the rotational inertia of the rod about an axis passing trough its centre of mass and parallel to the rotational axis

h is the horizontal distance between the center of mass and the rotational axis of the rod

I = (\frac{1}{12})(mL^{2} ) + m([tex]\frac{L}{2})^{2}[/tex]

I = (\frac{1}{12})(0.42 x 0.75^{2} ) + ( 0.42 x ([tex]\frac{0.75}{2})^{2}[/tex])

I = 0.07875 kg.m^{2}

(A) rods kinetic energy = 0.5Iω^{2}

  = 0.5 x 0.07875 x 4^{2} = 0.63 J   0.15 m

(B) from the conservation of energy

   initial kinetic energy + initial potential energy = final kinetic energy + final potential energy

   Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf

   at the maximum height velocity = 0 therefore final kinetic energy = 0

   Ki + Ui = Uf

   Ki = Uf - Ui

 Ki =  mg(H-h)

where (H-h) = rise in the center of mass

     0.63 = 0.42 x 9.8 x (H-h)

   (H-h) = 0.15 m

A small car with mass of 0.800 kg travels at a constant speed
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The equation of equilibrium at the top of the vertical circle is:

\Sigma F = - N - m\cdot g = - m \cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}

The speed experimented by the car is:

\frac{N}{m}+g=\frac{v^{2}}{R}

v = \sqrt{R\cdot (\frac{N}{m}+g) }

v = \sqrt{(5\,m)\cdot (\frac{6\,N}{0.8\,kg} +9.807\,\frac{kg}{m^{2}} )}

v\approx 9.302\,\frac{m}{s}

The equation of equilibrium at the bottom of the vertical circle is:

\Sigma F = N - m\cdot g = m \cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}

The normal force on the car when it is at the bottom of the track is:

N=m\cdot (\frac{v^{2}}{R}+g )

N = (0.8\,kg)\cdot \left(\frac{(9.302\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}}{5\,m}+ 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)

N=21.690\,N

A battery of voltage V delivers power P to a resistor of resistance R connected to it. By what factor will the power delivered t
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Power P = V² / R

a ) The resistance is changed to 2.90R

Power will become 1 / 2.9 times .

b )The voltage of the battery is now 2.90V, but the resistance is R

P = (2.9V)² / R

= 8.41 x V² / R

So power becomes 8.41 times

c )The resistance is 2.90R and voltage is 2.90V

Power P = (2.9V)² / 2.9 R

= 2.9 V²/R

So power becomes 2.9 times

d ) The resistance is 2.90R and the voltage is V/2.90

Power P = ( V/2.90)² x 1 / 2.90R

1 / ( 2.9 )³ x V² / R

= 1 / 24.389 x V² / R

So power becomes  1 / 24.389 times .
