A bimetallic strip consists of two metals: A on top and B at bottom. At temperature 00C this bimetallic strip was rigidly attach

ed to the vertical wall with one end, so strip is horizontal. We know that coefficient of thermal expansion of metal A is less than coefficient of thermal expansion of metal B. Temperature starts to raise. What happens to the bimetallic strip?
a. nothing happens
b. it contracts in horizontal direction
c. it bends down
d. it bends up
e. it expands in horizontal direction

Answer:

e. it expands in horizontal direction

Explanation:

By the law of thermal expansion of metals we know that when a metal is heated it expands due to the thermal properties of its molecules.

<u>Mathematically this expansion in its length is given by:</u>

\Delta l=l.\alpha.\Delta T

where:

l= original length of the metallic piece

\alpha= coefficient of linear expansion

\Delta T= rise in temperature

  • Here, in the given question we have a bimetallic strip with one end attached to the wall rigidly so that it is in horizontal orientation.
  • Upon heating the strip gains the temperature and expands horizontally along the length because it is <em>fixed to the wall only from one end.</em>

SashulF [63]

Answer: Technician B

Explanation: In manual cars,the clutch safety is designed to stop the vehicle from moving when you start the gnition. It prevents power from flowing into the circuit . This is found in the pedal mechanism of cars so depressing the clutch pedal will likely cause a defective in the clutch safety. You will begin to perceive the clutch burning and white fumes coming out from the pedal.

A small plastic bead has been charged to -15nC.
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

q = - 15 n C = - 15 x 10^-9 c

(a) d = 0.9 cm = 0.009 m

electric field on proton, E = Kq/d²

E = 9 x 10^9 x 15 x 10^-9 / (0.009)²

E = 1.67 x 10^6 N/C

Force on proton, F = charge on proton x Electric field

F = 1.6 x 10^-19 x 1.67 x 10^6 = 2.67 x 10^-13 N

acceleration of proton, a = F / m

a = (2.67 x 10^-13) / (1.67 x 10^-27)

a = 1.6 x 10^14 m/s²

(B) the direction of acceleration is towards the bead, as the force is attractive.

(C) d = 0.9 cm = 0.009 m

electric field on proton, E = Kq/d²

E = 9 x 10^9 x 15 x 10^-9 / (0.009)²

E = 1.67 x 10^6 N/C

Force on electron, F = charge on electron x Electric field

F = 1.6 x 10^-19 x 1.67 x 10^6 = 2.67 x 10^-13 N

acceleration of proton, a = F / m

a = (2.67 x 10^-13) / (9.1 x 10^-31)

a = 3 x 10^17 m/s²

(D) the direction of acceleration is away from the bead, as the force is repulsive.

Choose the scenario in which the sound frequency of the waves is higher.
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

B) the sound source moves towards you at 100 m/sec

Explanation:

The Dopper Effect is a phenomenon that occur when there is relative motion between an observer and a source of a wave. When this situation occurs, there is an apparent shift in frequency of the wave, as observed by the observer.

The apparent frequency observed by the observer is given by

f'=\frac{v\pm v_o}{v\pm v_s}f

where

f is the original frequency of the wave

f' is the apparent frequency

v is the speed of the wave

v_o is the velocity of the observer (positive if moving towards the source of the wave, negative otherwise)

v_s is the velocity of the source (negative if moving towards from the observer, positive otherwise)

In this problem, we want to find the scenario in which the sound frequency is higher.

We see that in all 4 scenarios, the sound source is moving: this means we have to find the scenario in which the denominator of the equation is smaller.

First of all, we notice the sound source moves towards the observer, v_s is negative, so the denominator is higher: this means that the correct option must be either A or B.

Also, we notice that since v_s is negative, a value larger in magnitude will mean a smaller denominator: therefore, the correct answer will be

B) the sound source moves towards you at 100 m/sec

Since this situation will make the denominator of the formula the smallest possible.
