Hello!
In a thermostat, the property of the bimetallic coil that allows it to contract and expand is that The two metals absorb different amounts of thermal energy.
This bimetallic coil is used to transform thermal energy into mechanical movement. Two metals with different thermal expansivity are joined together parallelly and the changes of temperature cause bending in different directions depending on if the temperature is rising or descending.
The differences in the thermal energy absorption of the two metals are the basis for the mechanism of this device.
C.
The particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
Answer:
Current = 8696 A
Fraction of power lost = 
= 0.151
Explanation:
Electric power is given by
where I is the current and V is the voltage.
Using values from the question,
The power loss is given by
where R is the resistance of the wire. From the question, the wire has a resistance of 
per km. Since resistance is proportional to length, the resistance of the wire is
Hence,
The fraction lost = 
The magnitude of the sum of the frictional forces acting on the bike and its rider is 400N.
<h3>What is friction force?</h3>
The friction force is the opposing force which acts on the object which is in relative motion.
The driving force is equal and opposite to the friction force acting between road and bicycle.
Friction force = 400N
The friction force between rider and bike is zero.
So the magnitude of sum of friction force = 400N +0 = 400N
Thus, the magnitude of the sum of the frictional forces acting on the bike and its rider.
