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 is the potential energy of a 2kg object placed 6m above<br> the surface of the Earth?
zalisa [80]

Answer:117.6joules

Explanation:

Mass(m)=2kg

Height(h)=6m

Acceleration due to gravity(g)=9.8m/s^2

Potential energy(PE)=?

PE=m x g x h

PE=2 x 9.8 x 6

PE=117.6joules

When a force of 15 newtons is applied to a stationary chair, it starts moving. What can you say about the frictional force betwe
harkovskaia [24]
First you need to make a difference between friction while object is stationary and the friction while object is moving. Force required to start moving some object is slightly greater than force required to maintain objects movement. That means that to move a chair you need some force F1 but you can than slightly reduce force and chair will still be moving.

Now to the problem in this question: It can be said that "stationary friction force" is equal to 15 Newtons. Its also good to know that friction force between chair and floor while you are increasing your push is also increasing and is equal to force of your push. Once it reaches 15N which is it "critical value" for that chair, chair starts moving and friction force drops a little bit and now it is called friction force of moving chair.

A fixed mass of an ideal gas has a volume of 800 cm3 under certain conditions. The pressure (in kPa) and temperature (in K) are
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

800cm3

Explanation:

This is a general gas law question

Which has the relationship P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

P1= P1 in kPa

T1 = T1 in K

V1= 800cm3

V2=?

P2= 2* P1

T2= 2*T1

The volume of gas after the changes (V2), making it as the subject of formula

V2= P1*V1*T2/P2*T1

V2 = P1 *800* 2T1 / 2P1 * T1 ; dividing accordingly, we have

V2 = 800cm3

A quantity of gas has a volume of 0.20 cubic meter and an absolute temperature of 333 degrees kelvin. When the temperature of th
kirza4 [7]
Hi =D
   The answer is D. This is how i figured it out. pV = n R T => if pressure is constant => p = n R T / V = const. => p / n R = T/ V = const. => T / V = const. T1 = 333 K T2 = 533 K V1 = 0.2 m3 T1 / V1 = T2 / V2 => V2 = V1 x T2 / V2 = 0.2 x 533 / 333 = 0.32 m^3.
   Hope this is what your looking for.
