Explain maximum and minimum thermometer working(answer only for points will be reported)​

Physics
1 answer:
belka [17]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

  • Six’s Maximum and Minimum thermometer is a U shaped parallel tube made up of glass. One side registers the maximum temperature and the other side records the minimum temperature.
  • The bend at the bottom of the thermometer contains mercury which moves up or down based on the expansion and contraction of alcohol.
  • When the temperature rises, the alcohol expands and pushes the mercury up the maximum column. This also pushes the mercury down in the minimum column.
  • Similarly, when the temperature falls, the alcohol contracts and pulls the mercury up in the minimum column resulting in a fall of mercury in the maximum column.
  • The steel indexes are located on the surface of mercury. They move along with the flow of mercury up and down.
  • When the temperature reaches its maximum and minimum limits, the metal indexes remain at that place. This helps in recording the maximum and minimum temperatures of the day.

Which object will have the most potential energy?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:  the most potential energy ==  5 kg book, 2 m from the ground= 98 Joules

Explanation:

potential energy = m g h

m = mass

g = acceleration due gravity  = 9.8 m/s²

h = distance above  ground

1.  Pe₁ = 1 kg x 2 m x g  = 2 g

2. Pe₂ = 5 kg x 2 m x g = 10 g = 10 kg m x 9,8 m/s² = 98 Joules

3. Pe₃ = 1 kg x 0,5 m x g = 0,5 g

4. Pe₄ = 5 kg x 0.5 m x g = 2,5 g  

10 > 2,5 > 2 >0,5

Ciara is swinging a 0.015 kg ball tied to a string around her head in a flat, horizontal circle. The radius of the circle is 0.5
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass m=0.015kg

Radius r=0.5m

Time t=0.70

Generally the equation for Tension is mathematically given by

 T=\frac{4mr}{t^2} \pi

 T=\frac{4*0.015*0.5}{(0.70)^2} (3.142)

 T=0.60N

Therefore

T=0.60 N, toward the center of the circle

You would like a pendulum that swings back and forth once every 2 seconds, but the one you have swings once every 1.9 seconds. W
patriot [66]

Your pendulum does a complete swing in 1.9 seconds.  You want to SLOW IT DOWN so it takes 2.0 seconds.

Longer pendulums swing slower.

You need to <em>make your pendulum slightly longer</em>.

If your pendulum is hanging by a thread or a thin string, then its speed doesn't depend at all on the weight at the bottom.  You can add weight or cut some off, and it won't change the speed a bit.

If you double the voltage in a circuit and reduce the resistance by a factor of four, what will happen to the current?
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

It will increase by a factor of 8.

Explanation:

By Ohm's Law, we can relate current, voltage and resistance. It is expressed as V=IR. That is, there is a direct relationship between voltage and resistance and voltage and current.

V = IR

V1/2V1 = I1R1 / I2R1/4

1/2 = 4I1/I2

I2 = 8I1
