Answer:

Explain why it is not advisable to sterilise a clinical thermometer on boiling water at normal atmospheric temperature. A clinical thermometer has small temperature range. The glass will crack/burst due to excessive pressure created by expansion of mercury.

A wire has a cross sectional area of 4.00 mm2 and is stretched by 0.100 mm by a certain force. How far will a wire of the same m
Nina [5.8K]

Answer: 0.05\ mm

Explanation:

Given

Cross-sectional area of wire A_1=4\ mm^2

Extension of wire \delta l=0.1\ mm

Extension in a wire is given by

\Rightarrow \delta l=\dfrac{FL}{AE}

where, E=\text{Youngs modulus}

\Rightarrow \delta_1=\dfrac{FL}{A_1E}\quad \ldots(i)

for same force, length and material

\Rightarrow \delta_2=\dfrac{FL}{A_2E}\quad \ldots(ii)

Divide (i) and (ii)

\Rightarrow \dfrac{0.1}{\delta_2}=\dfrac{A_2}{A_1}\\\\\Rightarrow \delta_2=0.1\times \dfrac{4}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow \delta_2=0.05\ mm

Effects of the earths orbit around the sun
makvit [3.9K]
<h3><u>Effects of the earths orbit around the sun:</u></h3>

The earth moves around the sun in an elliptical orbit, Johannes Kepler, a "German mathematician, and astronomer" described this elliptical orbit first. The orbit is close to being a circle but not a circle. Earth orbiting the sun mainly effects on seasons on earth.

Earth's four seasons are determined when Earth is tilted 23.4 degrees on the vertical axis, which is called as “axial tilt”. When a "southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun", it experiences summer and northern hemisphere experiences winter, exactly opposite happens when northern hemisphere tilts towards Sun and this climate change goes on in all countries.

A soccer player icks a rock horizontally off a 40m high cliff into a pool f water if the player hears the sound of the splash s
Semenov [28]

Answer:

v = 9.936 m/s

Explanation:

given,

height of cliff = 40 m

speed of sound = 343 m/s

assuming that time to reach the sound to the player = 3 s

now,

time taken to fall of ball

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 40}{9.8}}

t = 2.857 s

distance

d = v  x t

d = v x 2.875

time traveled by the sound before reaching the player

t_0 = t - t_{fall}

t_0 = 3 - 2.875

t_0 = 0.143 s

distance traveled by the wave in this time'

r = 0.143 x 343

r= 49.05 m

now,

we know.

d² + h² = r²

d² + 40² = 49.05²

d =28.387 m

v x 2.875=28.387 m

v = 9.936 m/s
