Mercury shows fester increase in temperature than water on heating​

Physics
1 answer:
ohaa [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Mercury shows faster increase in temperature than water on heating because the mercury has less specific heat capacity than water.

The specific heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat to required by a mass of a material to make a unit change in its temperature.  Mercury has less specific heat capacity and shows immediate changes in the temperature. Because of this mercury is used in thermometers and not water.

Where does groundwater come from?
jek_recluse [69]
Groundwater is the water found underground in the cracks and spaces in soil, sand and rock. It is stored in and moves slowly through geologic formations of soil, sand and rocks called aquifers.

A rock is thrown horizontally from a high building at 33.8 m/s. What is the magnitude of its velocity 4.25 s later?
Alex17521 [72]
<h2>Answer:53.63ms^{-2}</h2>

Explanation:

The equations of motion used in this question is v=u+at

When a object is projected horizontally from a sufficiently height,the x-component of acceleration remains zero because there is no force that drags the object in x direction.

But,due to gravity,the object accelerates downward at a rate of 9.8ms^{-2}.

In X-Direction,

Given that initial velocity=u_{x}=33.8ms^{-1}

Using v=u+at,

v_{x}=33.8+(0)4.25=33.8ms^{-1}

In Y-Direction,

Given that initial velocity=u_{x}=0ms^{-1}

Using v=u+at,

v_{y}=0+(9.8)4.25=41.65ms^{-1}

v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}

v=\sqrt{1142.44+1734.72}=\sqrt{2877.163}=53.63ms^{-1}

Dolphin echolocation is similar to ultrasound. Reflected sound waves
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.

Explanation:

To understand why high-frequency waves work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation, first we have to understand the relation between frequency and wavelength.

The relation between frequency and wavelength is given by

λ = c/f

Where λ is wavelength, c is the speed of light and f is the frequency.

Since the speed of light is constant, the wavelength and frequency are inversely related.

So that means high frequency waves have shorter wavelengths, which is the very reason for the successful echolocation because waves having shorter wavelength are more likely to reach and hit the target and then reflect back to the dolphin to form an image of the object.

Thus, waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.
