Answer:

Wen we place a cold alcohol in glass in a hot tub of water then the glass will be warmed first so it will expand a little due to which the level of alcohal decreases. After some time when thermal equilibrium is achevied then the alcohol will expand more then glass as the alcohol has the greater coeficient of expansion then glass so there will be an incerease in the level of alcohol which will indicate how much high the temperature is.

At what angle two forces P + Q and (P - Q) act so that their resultant is :
stiv31 [10]

Use resultant formula

\boxed{\sf R=\sqrt{A^2+B^2+2ABcos\theta}}

So

#1

A be p+q and B be p-q

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow R=\sqrt{3p^2+q^2}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \sqrt{(p+q)^2+(p-q)^2+2(p+q)(p-q)cos\alpha}=\sqrt{3p^2+q^2}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 2p^2+2q^2+2(p^2-q^2)cos\alpha=3p^2+q^2

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 2cos\alpha=1

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow cos\alpha=\dfrac{1}{2}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\pi}{3}

#2

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 2(p^2+q^2)+2(p^2-q^2)cos\beta=2(p^2+q^2)

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 2cos\beta=0

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow cos\beta=0

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \beta=\dfrac{\pi}{2}

#3

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 2(p^2+q^2)+2(p^2-q^2)cos\gamma=p^2+q^2

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 2(p^2-q^2)cos\gamma=-(p^2+q^2)

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow cos\gamma =\dfrac{q^2-p^2}{2(p^2-q^2)}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \gamma=cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac{q^2-p^2}{2(p^2+q^2)}\right)

Why is acceleration not constant near the speed of light
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

because when an object approaches the speed of light, it's mass starts to increase exponentially, and would be infinite at the speed of light. It would therefore require MORE than an infinite amount of energy to accelerate even a single electron to the speed of light
