In a few sentences, describe how the thermostat utilizes a bimetallic strip in order to turn a furnace on and off in one or two

sentences.

Vilka [71]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Bimetallic strips are used in thermostats for measuring and controlling temperature. The strip is connected to a switch and as the temperature changes, the strip flexes and opens or closes a contact. They are also used in ovens for measuring temperature. An electromechanical thermostat typically contains either a bi-metal coil or a metal strip. When the temperature changes, this coil or strip will move, causing a vial containing mercury to tip to one side. The mercury flows to one end of the vial, signaling that the heating or cooling needs to be turned on.

What happens when solar energy heats a body of water?
Nataliya [291]
Explanation: Evaporation happens when a liquid substance becomes a gas. When water is heated, it evaporates. The molecules move and vibrate so quickly that they escape into the atmosphere as molecules of water vapor (Dunn,1993).

A balloon filled with helium gas has an average density of rhob = 0.22 kg/m3. The density of the air is about rhoa = 1.23 kg/m3.
MissTica

Answer:

a=g\left(\frac{\rho_a}{\rho_b}-1\right)

45.03681 m/s²

Explanation:

F_b = Buoyant force

W = Weight of the balloon

\rho_a = Density of air = 1.23 kg/m³

\rho_b = Density of balloon = 0.22 kg/m³

v_a = Volume of air

v_b = Volume of balloon

F_b=\rho_av_bg

W=\rho_bv_bg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

The net force acting on the balloon is

F=F_b-W\\\Rightarrow F=\rho_av_bg-\rho_bv_bg\\\Rightarrow \rho_bv_ba=\rho_av_bg-\rho_bv_bg\\\Rightarrow \rho_bv_ba=v_bg(\rho_a-\rho_b)\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{g}{\rho_b}(\rho_a-\rho_b)\\\Rightarrow a=g\left(\frac{\rho_a}{\rho_b}-1\right)

The equation is a=g\left(\frac{\rho_a}{\rho_b}-1\right)

a=g\left(\frac{\rho_a}{\rho_b}-1\right)\\\Rightarrow a=9.81\times \left(\frac{1.23}{0.22}-1\right)\\\Rightarrow a=45.03681\ m/s^2

The acceleration of the balloon is 45.03681 m/s²

This problem has been solved!
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Option (a)

Explanation:

We will discard options that don't fit the situation:

Option b: <em>Incorrect </em>since if the driver "hits the gas" then velocity is augmenting and it's not constant.

Option c and d: <em>Incorrect </em>since the situation doesn't give us any information that could be related directly to the terrain or movement direction.

Option a: Correct. At <em>stage 1</em> we can assume the driver was going at constant speed which means acceleration is constantly zero. At <em>stage 2 </em>we can assume the driver augmented speed linearly, this is, with constant positive acceleration. At <em>stage 3 </em>we can assume the driver slowed the speed linearly, with constant negative acceleration.

If you were to apply a force of 15N to a medicine ball with a mass of 5kg, what would its acceleration be
yaroslaw [1]

Given that

Force (F) = 15 N ,

mass (m) = 5 Kg ,

acceleartion = ?

              We know that, From Newtons II law

                      F = m. a

                    15 = 5 × a

                     a = 15÷ 5

                       a = 3 m/s²

acceleration of the ball is 3 m/s²
