when mary took a cold thick-walled glass out of the refrigerator and placed it in boiling water, the glass cracked. Explain why

1 answer:

4 0

The outer surface of the glass expands faster than the inside surface since glass is a fairly good thermal insulator. The outer surface tries to expand without the inner surface doing so at the same time. This is the secret of Pyrex glass. It is more conductive to heat and the inner and outer surface expand (and contract) at the same time.

consider the photoelectric effect experiment. in one experiment yellow light shines on a piece of potassium metal. a current is

kompoz [17]

Explanation:

If the intensity of the yellow light increased, meaning more photons will strike the Potassium metal per unit area. This will cause more ejection of electrons from the metal and hence, the strength of current will also increase as we know that

I = Q/t, as the charge increase , the current will also increase.

A 20.5 kg ball moving at 38.5 m/s on a horizontal, frictionless surface runs into a light spring of force

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

7.68 m

Explanation:

Kinetic energy in ball = elastic energy in spring

KE = EE

½ mv² = ½ kx²

mv² = kx²

x = v √(m / k)

x = (38.5 m/s) √(20.5 kg / 515 N/m)

x = 7.68 m
