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.

A sinusoidal wave traveling on a string has a period of 0.20 s, a wavelength of 32 cm, and an amplitude of 3 cm. The speed of th
Finger [1]

Answer:

v = 1.6 \frac{m}{s} *\frac{100cm}{1m}= 160 \frac{cm}{s}

Explanation:

If we have a periodic wave we need to satisfy the following basic relationship:

v = \lambda f

From the last formula we see that the velocity is proportional fo the frequency.

For this case we have the following info given by the problem:

T= 0.2 s, \lambda =32 cm* \frac{1m}{100cm} =0.32 m, A= 3cm*\frac{1m}{100 cm}=0.03 m

We know that the frequency is the reciprocal of the period so we have this formula:

f = \frac{1}{T}

And if we replace we got:

f =\frac{1}{0.2 s}= 5Hz

Now since we have the value for the wavelength we can find the velocity like this:

v = 0.32 m * 5Hz = 1.6 \frac{m}{s}

And if we convert this into cm/s we got:

v = 1.6 \frac{m}{s} *\frac{100cm}{1m}= 160 \frac{cm}{s}

Bobby places a 4.75 cm tall light bulb a distance of 33.2 cm from a concave mirror. If the mirror has a focal length of 28.2, th
Fittoniya [83]
The image distance can be determined using the mirror equation: 1/f = 1/d_o + 1/d_i, where, f is the focal length, d_o is the object distance, and d_i is the image distance. Given that f = 28.2 and d_o = 33.2 cm, the value of d_i is calculated to be 187.248 cm. On the other hand, the image height is obtained using the magnification equation wherein, h_i/h_o = -d_i/d_o, where h_i is the image height and h_o is the object height. Using the given values, h_i is equal to -26.79 cm. Note that the negative sign indicates that the image is inverted.

The Jensens dccided to spend their family vaeation white water rafting. During one segment of their trip down the river, the raf
torisob [31]

Answer:

24,187.04 J ≈ 24,200 J

Explanation:

mass (m) = 544 kg

initial speed (u) = 6.75 m/s

final speed (v) = 15.2 m/s

change in height (Δh) = -14 m (negative sign is because there is a decrease in height )

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

How much work was done on the raft by non conservative forces?

work done = change in energy of the system = change in kinetic energy + change in potential energy

work done = (0.5m(v^{2} -u^{2} )) + (mgΔh)

work done = (0.5x544x(15.2^{2} -6.75^{2} )) + (544 x 9.8 x (-14))

work done = 50449.76 - 74,636.8

work done = 24,187.04 J ≈ 24,200 J

If spring has a spring constant of 500 N/m and is stretched .50 meters,how much energy is stored in the spring ((show work for f
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

The energy stored is: 62.5 Joules

Explanation:

Given

k = 500N/m --- spring constant

x = 0.5m --- stretch

Required

The amount of energy

This is calculated as:

U = \frac{1}{2} kx^2

U = \frac{1}{2} * 500N/m * (0.5m)^2

U = 250N/m * (0.5m)^2

U = 62.5\ J
