How can you increase the sensitivity of a Mercury thermometer?​

Physics

<em>The sensitivity of a mercury thermometer can be increased by using a smaller mercury bulb, thinner wall and smaller bore. A smaller bulb contains less mercury and hence absorbs heat in shorter time. As a result it can response faster to temperature change.</em>

A guitar string with a length of 80.0 cm is plucked. The speed of a wave in the string is 400 m/sec. Calculate the frequency of
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The first harmonic is: 250Hz, second harmonic 500Hz, third harmonic 750Hz.

Explanation:

Use the frequency f, speed v, and wavelentgh L relationship:

v = f\cdot L\implies f = \frac{v}{L}

We are given the speed v=400 m/s. The base wavelength on a string of length 80cm is twice the length of the string (a "half wave" along the full length of the string), so:

f = \frac{400\frac{m}{s}}{2\cdot0.8 m}= 250\frac{1}{s}=250 Hz

The fundamental frequency (first harmonic) is 250 Hz

The second harmonic is produced by one full wave across the string (adding one node in the middle), so L=80cm in this case, therefore the second harmonic frequency is: f2 = 2*250=500Hz

the third harmonic add another node (and a half wave) to the pattern and the wavelength will be 2/3 of 80cm, so f3=3*250Hz = 750Hz

Explain how we know dark matter exists if we cannot see it
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Gravitational lensing is how we know there is dark matter

What this means is that the light is bending as the light travels from the source to the observer, and if there are any 'holes' in between the beam, that is where 'dark matter' exists

A solid conducting sphere with radius R that carries positive charge Q is concentric with a very thin insulating shell of radius
Nostrana [21]

Explanation:

Gauss Law relates the distribution of electric charge to the resulting electric field.

Applying Gauss's Law,

                              EA = Q / ε₀

Where:

E is the magnitude of the electric field,

A is the cross-sectional area of the conducting sphere,

Q is the positive charge

ε₀ is the permittivity

We be considering cases for the specified regions.

<u>Case 1</u>: When r < R

The electric field is zero, since the enclosed charge is equal to zero

                                            E(r) = 0

<u>Case 2</u>: When R < r < 2R

The enclosed charge equals to Q, then the electric field equals;

                              E(4πr²) = Q / ε₀

                              E = Q / 4πε₀r²

                              E = KQ /r²

Constant K = 1 / 4πε₀ = 9.0 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²

<u>Case 3</u>: When r > 2R    

The enclosed charge equals to Q, then the electric field equals;

                               E(4πr²) = 2Q / ε₀

                               E = 2Q / 4πε₀r²

                               E = 2KQ /r²
