Answer:

the reading on the scale is 158.5 mm.

Explanation:

Given;

upper fixed point of the temperature scale, x₁ = 260 mm

lower  fixed point of the temperature scale, x₂ = 50 mm

upper temperature scale, T₁ = 212 °F

lower temperature scale, T₂ = 32 °F

thermometer reading, t = 125 °F, let the reading on the scale = x

Interpolate as follows to determine the value of "x"

\frac{X_1 - X}{X_1-X_2} = \frac{T_1-t}{T_1-T_2} \\\\\frac{260-X}{260-50} = \frac{212-125}{212-32} \\\\\frac{260 -X}{210} =\frac{87}{180} \\\\180(260-X) = 87(210)\\\\46800 -180 X = 18270 \\\\180X = 46800-18270\\\\180X = 28530\\\\X = \frac{28530}{180} \\\\X = 158.5 \ mm

Therefore, the reading on the scale is 158.5 mm.

Arigid body must rotate about an axis in order for it to have angular momentum about that axis. True False
kompoz [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Let's consider the definition of the angular momentum,

\vec{L} = I \vec{\omega}

where I = \int\limits_m r^2 dm = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum\limits_{i=1}^n m_i r_i^2 is the moment of inertia for a rigid body. Now, this moment of inertia could change if we change the axis of rotation, because "r" is defined as the distance between the puntual mass and the nearest point on the axis of rotation, but still it's going to have some value. On the other hand,

\vec{\omega} = \frac{\vec{r} \times \vec{v}}{r^2} so \vec{\omega} \neq 0 unless \vec{r} ║  \vec{v}.

In conclusion, a rigid body could rotate about certain axis, generating an angular momentum, but if you choose another axis, there could be some parts of the rigid body rotating around the new axis, especially if there is a projection of the old axis in the new one.

A geologist sees a fault along which blocks of rock in the footwall have moved higher relative to blocks of rock in the hanging
Luda [366]

Answer: Normal fault

Explanation:

The type of fault that is explained above is a normal fault. We should note that normal faults typically takes place in a divergent boundary in a scenario where the crusts may have been pulled apart.

Since the crust is pulled apart in this case, it leads to the downward movement of the hanging wall which leads to the football being above the hanging wall.

A karate master strikes a board with an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s, decreasing to 1.0 m/s as his hand passes through the board
kenny6666 [7]

The force exerted on the board by the karate master given the data is -4500 N

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
  • Initial velocity (u) = 10 m/s
  • Final velocity (v) = 1 m/s
  • Time (t) = 0.002 s
  • Mass (m) = 1 Kg
  • Force (F) = ?
<h3>How to determine the force</h3>

The force exerted can be obtained as illustrated below:

F = m(v - u) / t

F = 1 (1 - 10) / 0.002

F = (1 × -9) / 0.002

F = -4500 N

The lasers are red, meaning that they are giving off light in the _____ region of the electromagnetic spectrum
Softa [21]

As per the question the color of laser light is given as red.

If we arrange all the electromagnetic waves in the decreasing order of frequency ,then the electromagnetic spectrum contains gamma ray as the first which is followed by all other electromagnetic waves according to their frequency.

The visible light ranges from 400 nm to 700 nm which contains sunlight i.e white colors with it's constituent colors starting from violet to red. The red color is the longest wavelength part of the visible region.

The wavelength of visible light is longer than ultraviolet wave but smaller than infrared radiation. Except the bisible region,the color of radiation is invisible to eye.


As per the question the color of emiited laser radiation is red .Hence it must lie in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
