Pencil is clearly an opaque object because, we cannot see through it. For example, take a pencil in your front. You will observe that, you are not able to see the objects behind it. And that is why you can say that pencil is an opaque object.

A hole is drilled in a metal plate. When the metal is raised to a higher temperature, what happens to the diameter of the hole?
zysi [14]

Answer:

The diameter of the hole increases

Explanation:

Metals expand and contract with temperature. Whenever metal is heated, it usually expands in relation to its thermal expansivity. This expansion leads to a slight increase in surface area.

Once the surface area of the metal changes, this means that the dimensions of the whole metal surface changed. As a result, the diameter of the hole drilled in the metal plate will change also. In our case, the diameter of the hole will increase.

The Burj Khalifa in Dubai is the world's tallest building. The structure is 828 m (2,716.5 feet) and has more than 160 stories.
Elena L [17]

Answer:

 h = 599.5 m

Explanation:

Given,

height of structure = 828 m

weight of the tourist = 184 lb

                                 = 184 x 0.45359 = 83.43 Kg

Potential energy = 187000 J

PE = m gd

d = \frac{PE}{mg}

d = \frac{187000}{83.43\times 9.81}

h = 228.5 m

Height of the room above the ground.

 h = 828 - 228.5

 h = 599.5 m

Height of the floor above ground is equal to 599.5 m.

2 Ten identical lengths of wire are laid closely side-by-
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

(a) 0.71 mm

(b) 0.158 cubic cm

Explanation:

The width of one wire is the diameter of the wire.

(a) Let the diameter of each wire is d.

So, 10 d = 14.2 mm

d = 1.42 mm

radius of each wire, r = d/2 = 1.42/2 = 0.71 mm

(b) Length, L = 10 cm

The volume of the single wire is given by

V =\pi\times r^2\times h \\\\V =3.14\times 0.071^2\times 10\\\\V =0.158 cm^3

What is the momentum of an object in splace
forsale [732]

Answer:

The total momentum of the universe is always the same and is equal to zero. The total momentum of an isolated system never changes. Momentum can be transferred from one body to another.

Momentum quantifies how likely an object is to stay in motion. Momentum can also be explained using the equation, p=mv, where p is equal to momentum, m is equal to mass, and v is equal to velocity.
