The tin can with water in its bottom is heated to boil water and the steam is allowed to escape for some time. The open mouth is

sealed with an air-tight cap and cooled under tap water. The tin can get crushed, why?

Explanation:

Water does expand with heat (and contract with cooling), but the amount of expansion is pretty small. So when you boil a can filled with water and seal it, the water will contract slightly as it cools. The can may kink slightly, but that will be it. Actually, most likely the only things you will be able to see is then top and bottom will be sucked in and go concave. Just like a commercial can of beans.

Now if you have a can with a little water and a big air space, things are completely different.

As the water boils, water vapour is given off. Steam. Let it boils for a minute just to make sure (nearly) all the air is expelled and the can is filled with steam.

Now when you put the lid on and cool the can, that steam condenses back to water, and goes from filling the can to a few drops of water. The can is now filled (if that is the right word) with a near vacuum, The air pressure, 15 lbs/square inch, will be pressing on every surface of the can, with nothing inside the can to resist it.

The can will crumple before your eyes.

A truck traveling at a constant speed of 28 m/s passes a more slowly moving car. The instant the truck passes the car, the car b
choli [55]

Answer:

the velocity of car when it passes the truck is u = 16.33 m/s

Explanation:

given,

constant speed of truck  = 28 m/s

acceleration of car = 1.2 m/s²

passes the truck in 545 m

speed of the car when it just pass the truck = ?

time taken by the truck to travel 545 m

              time =\dfrac{distance}{speed}

              time =\dfrac{545}{28}

              time =19.46 s

velocity of the car when it crosses the truck

S = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

545= u\times 19.46 + \dfrac{1}{2} \times 1.2 \times 19.46^2

u = 16.33 m/s

the velocity of car when it passes the truck is u = 16.33 m/s

AveGali [126]

Correct answer choice is:

C. Polarized in a vertical plane.

Explanation:

Polarized sunglasses give excellent glare shield, particularly on the water. Polarized lenses include a specific filter that prevents this type of strong reflected light, diminishing glare.

This is because when you angle one polarized lens to different perpendicularly, they prevent glare both horizontally and vertically. The polarized lenses are enduringly tinted sunglasses that exceedingly decrease glare.
