Marianna [84]2 years ago
5 0
  • There is a constriction made in a clinical thermometers.
  • As constriction stops the mercury inside the thermometer to drop back towards the bulb of thermometer.
  • So there is constriction used in clinical thermometers to prevent usage of alcohol or mercury into bulb

A fully loaded, slow-moving freight elevator has a cab with a total mass of 1250 kg, which is required to travel upward 49 m in
insens350 [35]

Answer:

659.01W

Explanation:

The cab has a mass of 1250 kg, the weight of the cab represented by Wc will be

Wc = mass of the cab × acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Wc = 1250 × 9.81 = 12262.5 N

but the counter weight of the elevator represented by We = mass × acceleration due to gravity = 995 × 9.81 = 9760.95 N

Net weight = weight of the cab - counter weight of the elevator = Wc - We = 12262.5 - 9760.95 = 2501.55 N

the motor of the elevator will have to provide this in form of work

work done by the elevator to lift the cab to height of 49 m = net weight × distance (height) = 2501.55 × 49m

power provided by the motor of the elevator = workdone by the motor / time in seconds

Power = (2501.55 × 49) ÷ ( 3.1 × 60 seconds) = 659.01 W

A closed cylinder with a 0.15-m radius ends is in a uniform electric field of 300 n/c, perpendicular to the ends. the total flux
bixtya [17]

The total flux through the cylinder is zero.


In fact, the electric flux through a surface (for a uniform electric field) is given by:

\Phi = E A \cos \theta

where

E is the intensity of the electric field

A is the surface

\theta is the angle between the direction of E and the perpendicular to the surface, whose direction is always outwards of the surface.


We can ignore the lateral surface of the cylinder, since the electric field is parallel to it, therefore the flux through the lateral surface of the cylinder is zero (because \theta=90^{\circ} and \cos \theta=0).


On the other two surfaces, the flux is equal and with opposite sign. In fact, on the first surface the flux will be

\Phi_1 = E \pi r^2

where r is the radius, and where we have taken \theta=0^{\circ} since the perpendicular to the surface is parallel to the direction of the electric field, so \cos \theta=1. On the second surface, however, the perpendicular to the surface is opposite to the electric field, so \theta=180^{\circ} and \cos \theta=-1, therefore the flux is

\Phi_2 = -E \pi r^2

And the net flux through the cylinder is

\Phi = \Phi_1 + \Phi_2 = E \pi r^2 - E \pi r^2=0

A 12 n cart is moving on a horizontal surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.20. what force of friction must be ove
jonny [76]

We must remember that the total net force equation at constant velocity is:

<span>F – Ff = 0</span>

of

F - µN = 0

Using Newton's 2nd Law of Motion:<span>

F = m a 

<span>Where,

F = net force acting on the body 
m = mass of the body 
a = acceleration of the body 

Since the cart is moving at a constant velocity, then acceleration is zero, hence the working equation simplifies to 

F = net Force = 0 

Therefore, 

F - µN = 0 

where 

µ = coefficient of friction = 0.20 
N = normal force acting on the cart = 12 N 

Therefore, 

F - 0.20(12) = 0 

<span>F = 2.4 N </span></span></span>
