Which one of the following indicates a drop in temperature?

1 answer:

6 0

Answer: D. A bimetallic strip bends so that the steel is on the outside curve

When something has an increased temperature, its volume will expand. Then, if the temperature drops, its volume should be smaller. From there option A and B are out since the liquid in thermometer is expand or move up.

When you put two kinds of different metal with a different coefficient of thermal expansion, the outer curve metal will be the one with lesser coefficient when temperature drop. Since the question about drop in temperature then the metal should be bend
Brass will expand 1.5 times more than the steel so the outer curve would be the steel.

What unita are used to measure electrical current

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

It's called an ampere!

Explanation:

The SI unit of electric current is the ampere, which is the flow of electric charge across a surface at the rate of one coulomb per second. The ampere (symbol: A) is an SI base unit Electric current is measured using a device called an ammeter.

Water flows through a 4.50-cm inside diameter pipe with a speed of 12.5 m/s. At a later position, the pipe has a 6.25-cm inside

jek_recluse [69]

Given,

The initial inside diameter of the pipe, d₁=4.50 cm=0.045 m

The initial speed of the water, v₁=12.5 m/s

The diameter of the pipe at a later position, d₂=6.25 cm=0.065 m

From the continuity equation,

$\begin{gathered} A_1v_1=A_2v_2 \\ \pi(\frac{d_1}{2})^2v_1=\pi(\frac{d_2}{2})^2v_2 \\ \Rightarrow d^2_1v_1=d^2_2v_2 \end{gathered}$

Where A₁ is the area of the cross-section at the initial position, A₂ is the area of the cross-section of the pipe at a later position, and v₂ is the flow rate of the water at the later position.

On substituting the known values,

$\begin{gathered} 0.045^2\times12.5=0.065^2\times v_2 \\ \Rightarrow v_2=\frac{0.045^2\times12.5}{0.065^2} \\ =5.99\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the flow rate of the water at the later position is 5.99 m/s

A lorry of mass 4000 kg is travelling at a speed of 4 m/s.

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

KE = 32,000J

v = 8m/s

Explanation:

KE = .5*m*v²

KE = .5*4000kg*(4m/s)²

KE = 32,000J

32,000J = .5*1000kg*v²

v² = 64

v = 8m/s
