We simply asked to name three uses for mercury.
The most common and well-known use of mercury is the production of thermometers. It's property to stay liquid at room temperature makes it ideal for a temperature indicator. However, the use of mercury is thermometers has been phased out due to health hazards.
It is also used to form an amalgam which is the result of its combination with silver or gold. Mercury has been used to mine gold and silver. This application has also been phased out.
Today's use of mercury includes mercury-vapor lamps which are the bright lamps used in high-ways.
Answer:
AM has longer wavelength
Explanation:
The relation between the wavelength and teh frequency is given by
v = f x λ
Where, f is the frequency and λ be the wavelength.
It shows that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency.
So, higher the frequency, smaller be the wavelength.
So, FM has high frequency than AM, thus, FM has lower wavelength as compared to AM.
Answer:
0.191 s
Explanation:
The distance from the center of the cube to the upper corner is r = d/√2.
When the cube is rotated an angle θ, the spring is stretched a distance of r sin θ. The new vertical distance from the center to the corner is r cos θ.
Sum of the torques:
∑τ = Iα
Fr cos θ = Iα
(k r sin θ) r cos θ = Iα
kr² sin θ cos θ = Iα
k (d²/2) sin θ cos θ = Iα
For a cube rotating about its center, I = ⅙ md².
k (d²/2) sin θ cos θ = ⅙ md² α
3k sin θ cos θ = mα
3/2 k sin(2θ) = mα
For small values of θ, sin θ ≈ θ.
3/2 k (2θ) = mα
α = (3k/m) θ
d²θ/dt² = (3k/m) θ
For this differential equation, the coefficient is the square of the angular frequency, ω².
ω² = 3k/m
ω = √(3k/m)
The period is:
T = 2π / ω
T = 2π √(m/(3k))
Given m = 2.50 kg and k = 900 N/m:
T = 2π √(2.50 kg / (3 × 900 N/m))
T = 0.191 s
The period is 0.191 seconds.
