Why is water not used as a liquid in glass thermometers?

Maslowich

Answer:

Water is not able to be used as a thermometer liquid because of its higher freezing point and lower boiling point than the other liquids in general. If water is used in a thermometer, it will start phase variation at 0∘C and 100∘C. This will not help in measuring temperature, beyond this range.

A bug is 12 cm from the center of a turntable that is rotating with a frequency of 45 rev/min . What minimum coefficient frictio

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The minimum coefficient of friction is 0.27.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, start with identifying the forces at play here. First, the bug staying on the rotating turntable will be subject to the centripetal force constantly acting toward the center of the turntable (in absence of which the bug would leave the turntable in a straight line). Second, there is the force of friction due to which the bug can stick to the table. The friction force acts as an intermediary to enable the centripetal acceleration to happen.

Centripetal force is written as

$F_c = m\frac{v^2}{r}$

with v the linear velocity and r the radius of the turntable. We are not given v, but we can write it as

$v = r\omega$

with ω denoting the angular velocity, which we are given. With that, the above becomes:

$F_c = m\frac{v^2}{r}=m\omega^2 r$

Now, the friction force must be at least as much (in magnitude) as Fc. The coefficient (static) of friction μ must be large enough. How large?

$F_r=\mu mg \geq m\omega^2 r = F_c\implies\\\mu \geq \frac{\omega^2 r}{g}$

Let's plug in the numbers. The angular velocity should be in radians per second. We are given rev/min, which can be easily transformed by a factor 2pi/60:

$\frac{1 rev}{1 min}\cdot\frac{\frac{2\pi rad}{rev}}{\frac{60s}{1 min}}=\frac{2\pi}{60}\frac{rad}{s}$

and so 45 rev/min = 4.71 rad/s.

$\mu \geq \frac{\omega^2 r}{g}=\frac{4.71^2\frac{1}{s^2}\cdot 0.12m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}=0.27$

A static coefficient of friction of at least be 0.27 must be present for the bug to continue enjoying the ride on the turntable.

A spring of force constant 1500 Nm-l is acted

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

1.876 J

Explanation:

First, let’s calculate the compression of the spring from the Hooke’s law:

F=kx,

here, F=75 N is the force acted on the spring, k=1500 N⁄m is the force constant of the spring, x is the compression of the spring.

Then, we get:

x=F/k=(75 N)/(1500 N/m)=0.05 m.

Finally, we can find the potential energy stored in the spring:

PE=1/2 kx^2=1/2∙1500 N/m∙(0.05 m)^2=1.875 J.

correct my answer if it's wrong ^^

How rolling friction is less than sliding friction?

vovangra [49]

Rolling friction is considerably less than sliding friction as there is no work done against the body that is rolling by the force of friction. For a body to start rolling a small amount of friction is required at the point where it rests on the other surface, else it would slide instead of roll.

The volume of gas in a flexible container at a depth of 10 m/33 ft will expand to ______ its original volume if taken to the sur

natulia [17]

The volume of gas in a flexible container at a depth of 10 m/33 ft will expand to double its original volume if taken to the surface.

What is volume:

The amount of space that a substance or object occupies.

Volume is denoted with letter V

What is a gas molecule?

Generally, a gas molecule is simply defined as a combination of numbers of atoms that are connected one to another.

here, 10 m/33 feet of sea water is taken to exerts a gauge pressure that is the same pressure as the atmosphere.

This means that we add one atmosphere/bar pressure for every 10 m/33 feet you descend.

The effect of this is that,

at 10 m/33 ft absolute pressure is two ata/bar

Adding another 10 m/33 ft to this depth to make it 20 m/66 ft, puts you under under three ata/bar of pressure and so on.

Descending to a depth it means that you have double the ata/bar pressure acting on you. If you decide to resurface, the pressure on the flexible container will reduce by a factor of two.

Since volume is inversely proportional to the pressure,

If the pressure reduces by a factor of 2, then the volume will increase by a factor of two.
