What is the value of the fixed points of a temperature scale

Physics
1 answer:
AleksAgata [21]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

To calibrate a thermometer is to mark a thermometer so that you can use it to measure temperature accurately. A fixed point is a standard degree of hotness or coldness such as the melting point of ice or boiling point of water.

A mason is shot with a constant speed of 7.5 x 10²m/sinto a region, when an electric field produces acceleration on the mason of
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Distance, d = 0.1 m

It is given that,

Initial velocity of meson,

Finally, the meson is coming to rest v = 0

Acceleration of the meson,  (opposite to initial velocity)

Using third equation of motion as :

s is the distance the meson travelled before coming to rest.

So,

 

s = 0.1 m

The meson will cover the distance of 0.1 m before coming to rest. Hence, this is the required solution.

A bottle lying on the windowsill falls off and takes 4.95 seconds to reach the ground. The distance from the windowsill to the g
Liula [17]
The distance an object falls from rest through gravity is 
                        D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²) 
           Distance  =  (1/2 acceleration of gravity) x (square of the falling time)

We want to see how the time will be affected 
if  ' D ' doesn't change but ' g ' does. 
So I'm going to start by rearranging the equation
to solve for ' t '.                                                      D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²)

Multiply each side by  2 :         2 D  =            g    t²  

Divide each side by ' g ' :      2 D/g =                  t² 

Square root each side:        t = √ (2D/g)

Looking at the equation now, we can see what happens to ' t ' when only ' g ' changes:

  -- ' g ' is in the denominator; so bigger 'g' ==> shorter 't'

                                             and smaller 'g' ==> longer 't' .-- 

They don't change by the same factor, because  1/g  is inside the square root.  So 't' changes the same amount as  √1/g  does.

Gravity on the surface of the moon is roughly  1/6  the value of gravity on the surface of the Earth.

So we expect ' t ' to increase by  √6  =  2.45 times.

It would take the same bottle  (2.45 x 4.95) = 12.12 seconds to roll off the same window sill and fall 120 meters down to the surface of the Moon.

A plane has an airspeed of 142 m/s. A 30.0 m/s wind is blowing southward at the same time as the plane is flying. What must be t
const2013 [10]

Answer:

\theta=12.19^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given that

The speed of the airplane ,v= 142 m/s

The speed of the air ,u = 30 m/s

Lets take angle make by airplane from east direction towards north direction is θ .

Now by using diagram ,we can say that

sin\theta =\dfrac{u}{v}

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

sin\theta =\dfrac{30}{142}

sin\theta=0.21

\theta=12.19^{\circ}

Therefore the angle will be 12.19° .

At a distance 30 m from a jet engine, intensity of sound is 10 W/m^2. What is the intensity at a distance 180 m?
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

I_{2}=0.27 W/m^2

Explanation:

Intensity is given by the expresion:

I_{2}=Io (\frac{r1}{r2} )^{2}

where:

Io = inicial intensity

r1= initial distance

r= final distance

I_{2}=10 W/m^2 (\frac{30m}{180m} )^{2}

I_{2}=0.27 W/m^2
