State one use and one disadvantage of the expansion of materials when they are heated.

Physics

Reil [10]2 years ago
8 0

An example of the use of expansion of materials when they are heated is in

Thermometers. Thermometer is an instrument which is used to measure the

temperature of a place.

It contains mercury which expands as temperature increases. This is used

to accurately determine the temperature of an object.

The disadvantage of expansion of materials when they are heated can be

seen in roads as there is expansion of the surface as a result of heat

exposure leads to roads being rough thereby incurring more costs for

repairs.

A group of hikers hear an echo 3.3 s after they shout. The temperature is 20◦C.
romanna [79]

Answer:

560 m

Explanation:

The speed of sound in air is approximately:

v ≈ v₀ + 0.6T

where v₀ is the speed of sound at 0°C (273 K) in m/s, and T is the temperature in Celsius.

The speed of sound at 20°C at that altitude is:

v ≈ 327 + 0.6(20)

v ≈ 339 m/s

The sound travels from the hikers to the mountain and back again, so it travels twice the distance.

339 m/s = 2d / 3.3 s

2d = 1118.7 m

d = 559.35 m

Rounding, the mountain is approximately 560 m away.

How long does it take oxygen to diffuse a distance of 1 mm in water at room temperature? How long does it take oxygen to diffuse
Viktor [21]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

given,

travel distance = 1 mm

diffusion constant for the  molecule  of oxygen in water = 1 x 10⁻⁹ m²/s

we know that

 t = \dfrac{x^2}{2D}

t is the time taken for diffusion

x = 1 mm = 10⁻³ m

D is the diffusion

 t = \dfrac{(10^{-3})^2}{2\times 10^{-9}}

 t = \dfrac{(10^{3})}{2}

        t = 500 s

so, the option to the answer is 170 s

the correct answer is option A

Which researcher first realized that certain psychic secretions pointed to a simple but important form of learning
AnnZ [28]

Ivan Pavlov was the researcher that first realized that certain psychic secretions pointed to a simple but important form of learning.


The way he figured this out was when dogs paired certain things with food, and because of this, the dogs started salivating.

Newton’s law of universal gravitation stars that every object in the universe attracts every other object
LenaWriter [7]

Yes it does !  Uh huh. Right you are. Truer words are seldom written.

You have quoted the law quite accurately but also incompletely.  

Do you have a question to ask ?
