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>

A scientist observes rock masses that have moved past each other in opposite horizontal directions. Which feature
Reil [10]

Answer:

C. strike-slip fault

Explanation:

The scientist must have observed a strike- slip fault.

A fault is an evidence of brittle deformation of the crust in the presence of applied stress on earth materials. Here, the earth material is the rock subjected to tension.

Where a fault occurs, there must have been movement between two blocks of rocks. The direction of movement helps us to delineate the fault type.

  • When two blocks moves past each other horizontally, it is a strike-slip fault like rubbing your palms together.
  • When a block moves in the direction of the dip, it forms a dip-slip fault which results in a fault-block mountain characterized by graben and horst systems.

Option A, Plateau is a table landform usually a mountain with flat peak.

Option B is a bowl shaped stratigraphic pattern in which the youngest sequence is at the core of the strata or a fold.

So, the most fitting option is C, a strike-slip fault.

The velocity of blood flow is ________. A) in direct proportion to the total cross-sectional area of the blood vessels B) slower
Leto [7]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The velocity at which blood flows in the blood vessels is inversely proportional to the total cross-sectional area of the blood vessels present in the body. This means that if the cross sectional area of the vessels low, then there will be high rate of blood flow, and vice versa. This blood flow is minimum in the case of capillaries, where it gets enough time for the exchanging of essential nutrients as well as gases.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
