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.

True or false: Balanced forces can change an object's direction?
slava [35]

The statement is false.  Balanced forces can NOT change the speed OR direction of an object's motion.  (See Newton's #1 law of motion.)

nadya68 [22]

The gravitation force is 1/6 that of earth, and the ice in the same soft drink would float with 9/10 submerged option (B) is correct.

<h3>What is gravitational force?</h3>

All mass-bearing objects are attracted by gravitational force. Because it consistently attempts to bring masses together rather than push them apart, the gravitational force is referred to as attractive.

As we know, the gravitational force is given by:

\rm F = \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

Where G is the gravitational constant.

m1 and m2 are masses.

r is the distance between the masses.

Weight of ice cube = weight of soft drink displaced

mg = ρVg

m = ρV

g does not affect astronauts on earth in a lunar module.

Thus, the gravitation force is 1/6 that of earth, and the ice in the same soft drink would float with 9/10 submerged option (B) is correct.

An astronaut on Earth notes that in her soft drink an ice cube floats with 9/10 of its volume submerged. If she were instead in a lunar module parked on the Moon where the gravitation force is 1/6 that of Earth, the ice in the same soft drink would float:A) with more than 9/10 submerged. B) with 9/10 submerged.C) with 6/10 submerged.D) totally submerged.

liberstina [14]

Answer: Doppler Effect

Doppler Effect can be described as the change in wavelength of a wave like upward shift in frequency for an object whom is approaching and an apparent downward shift in frequency for observers from whom the source is receding. This effect can be observed when a boat moves through the water then the waves in front bunch up while the waves behind the boat spread out.

In a swimming meet, the swimmers swim a total of 8 laps of a 50-meter-long swimming pool. What is the distance traveled by a swi
N76 [4]

Answer:

The swimmer has a distance traveled of 800 meters.

The final displacement of the swimmer is 0 meters.

Explanation:

A lap is a round trip made by a swimmer in the pool, so that the distance traveled by swimmer is sixteen times the length of the swimming pool. That is:

s = \left(2\,\frac{travels}{lap} \right)\cdot \left(8\,laps \right)\cdot \left(50\,\frac{m}{travel}\right)

s = 800\,m

A swimmer has a distance traveled of 800 meters.

The displacement is the distance between swimmer and a reference point, let suppose that reference point is located at the beginning of the first lap. Hence, the final displacement of the swimmer is 0 meters.
