A bimetallic strip consists of two metals: A on top and B at bottom. At temperature 00C this bimetallic strip was rigidly attach
1 answer:
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>
where:
original length of the metallic piece
coefficient of linear expansion
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>

Explanation:
When unpolarized light passes through the first polarizer, the intensity of the light is reduced by a factor 1/2, so
(1)
where I_0 is the intensity of the initial unpolarized light, while I_1 is the intensity of the polarized light coming out from the first filter. Light that comes out from the first polarizer is also polarized, in the same direction as the axis of the first polarizer.
When the (now polarized) light hits the second polarizer, whose axis of polarization is rotated by an angle with respect to the first one, the intensity of the light coming out is
(2)
If we combine (1) and (2) together,
(3)
We want the final intensity to be 1/10 the initial intensity, so
So we can rewrite (3) as
From which we find
Answer:
They are the same
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves consist of perpendicular oscillations of electric and magnetic field, which oscillate perpendicularly to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). One property of the electromagnetic waves is that they travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, called speed of light:
Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types according to their frequency; from highest to lowest frequency, we have:
Gamma rays
X-rays
Ultraviolet
Visible light
Infrared
Microwaves
Radio waves
We see that both visible light and gamma rays are electromagnetic waves, so they both travel in a vacuum at the same speed, the speed of light.
Answer:
577g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Temperature change = 5.9°C
Amount of heat lost = 427J
Unknown:
Mass of the block = ?
Solution:
The heat capacity of a body is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of that body by 1°C.
H = m c Ф
H is the heat capacity
m is the mass of the block
c is the specific heat capacity
Ф is the temperature change
Specific heat capacity of lead is 0.126J/g°C
m = H / m Ф
m = = 577g
Mass of the lead block is 577g
