Explanation:
Because When placed on hot water, the thermometer itself expands slightly first so the Mercury appears to be descending. After the thermometer expands slightly, the Mercury expands. Hence, Mercury column in thermometer first decends slightly and then rises when placed in hot water
Answer:
Any liquid in a container, when heated, at first it's level goes down a little, then rises.
It's because the container volume increases first, before the liquid gets hot. So the level goes down. It takes a little longer to heat up the whole volume of the liquid. A little later, as the liquid gets heated up, it expands faster than the container and the level rises.
In general, coefficient of thermal expansion is higher for liquids than solids.
This is why the mercury level first goes down then rises.
A student tries to measure the period of a pendulum that is already swinging
left and right. At the moment when the pendulum is fully to the left, she
counts 'One' and starts a stopwatch. She counts successive swings each time
that the pendulum returns to the left. When she counts ‘Ten' she stops the
stopwatch, and sees that it reads 12.0 s.
a. What was her mistake?
______________________________________________________________
b. What is the period of swing of this pendulum?
______________________________________________________________
c. In this particular experiment, explain the likely effect of her reaction time
on her answer.
Answer:
a. The student's mistake was that the student did not swing the pendulum and start the watch at the same time.
b. 1.2 s per swing.
c. The likely effect of her reaction time is that they will should subtract two seconds off the time.
Explanation:
The pupil made the error of not simultaneously starting the watch and swinging the pendulum.
What is pendulum?Pendulum is defined as a body that is suspended from a fixed point and moves back and forth while being pulled by gravity. The pendulum is used to gauge the gravitational pull because the force of gravity causes it to swing back toward its average position. A pendulum's time period can be used to tell the time because it is constant.
The swing of the pendulum is 1.2 sec. per swing. They should take two seconds off the timing due to her presumably slow reaction time. A pendulum's total time should be divided by the quantity of oscillations in order to determine its time period. When compared to a pendulum with a shorter string, the one back and forth cycle of a longer-stringed pendulum requires more time to complete.
Thus, the pupil made the error of not simultaneously starting the watch and swinging the pendulum.

if 8000cm3 of liquid drains off an hour glass in one hour, what is the flow rate of water from the clock
Answer:
8000cm³/hr
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Volume of the liquid draining off per hour = 8000cm³
Time taken to drain off = 1hr
Unknown:
Flow rate = ?
Solution:
Flow rate is the volume of fluid that passes per unit of time.
Flow rate = [tex]\frac{volume of fluid}{time taken}[/tex]
Flow rate = [tex]\frac{8000cm^{3} }{1hr}[/tex]
Flow rate = 8000cm³/hr

What, exactly, is moving across the medium?
Answer:
So waves are everywhere. But what makes a wave a wave? What characteristics, properties, or behaviors are shared by the phenomena that we typically characterize as being a wave? How can waves be described in a manner that allows us to understand their basic nature and qualities?
A wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium from one location to another location. Consider a slinky wave as an example of a wave. When the slinky is stretched from end to end and is held at rest, it assumes a natural position known as the equilibrium or rest position. The coils of the slinky naturally assume this position, spaced equally far apart. To introduce a wave into the slinky, the first particle is displaced or moved from its equilibrium or rest position. The particle might be moved upwards or downwards, forwards or backwards; but once moved, it is returned to its original equilibrium or rest position. The act of moving the first coil of the slinky in a given direction and then returning it to its equilibrium position creates a disturbance in the slinky. We can then observe this disturbance moving through the slinky from one end to the other. If the first coil of the slinky is given a single back-and-forth vibration, then we call the observed motion of the disturbance through the slinky a slinky pulse. A pulse is a single disturbance moving through a medium from one location to another location. However, if the first coil of the slinky is continuously and periodically vibrated in a back-and-forth manner, we would observe a repeating disturbance moving within the slinky that endures over some prolonged period of time. The repeating and periodic disturbance that moves through a medium from one location to another is referred to as a wave.

6. A total of 135 J of work is done on a gaseous refrigerant as it undergoes compression. If
the internal energy of the gas increases by 114 J during the process, what is the total amount
of energy transferred as heat? Has energy been added to or removed from the refrigerant as
heat?
Answer:
Eh = 21 [J]
Removed as heat.
Explanation:
This is a case of energy conservation, we have to take into account the energies that go in and out of the system. In this case, 135 [J] of energy are entered in the form of work of the compressor to the chamber where the refrigerant is compressed, now of these 135 [J] 114 [J] were used as internal energy, this internal energy is used to increase the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant.
In this way the rest of the energy of the 135 [J] was lost in the form of heat to determine this loss of energy, we simply perform the arithmetic subtraction.
Eh = 135 - 114 = 21 [J]
Eh = 21 [J]

this is also for a Digital Electronics class
Answer:
Rt = 908.25 [ohm]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we must remember that the resistors connected in series are added up arithmetically.
In this case, R2 and R3 are in series therefore.
R₂₃ = 200 + 470
R₂₃ = 670 [ohm]
Now this new resistor (R₂₃) is connected in parallel with the resistor R4. therefore we must use the following arithmetic expression, to add resistances in parallel.
[tex]\frac{1}{R_{4-23} }= \frac{1}{R_{4}}+\frac{1}{R_{23} } \\\frac{1}{R_{4-23} }=\frac{1}{1800}+\frac{1}{670} \\R_{4-23}=488.25[ohm][/tex]
In this way R₁, R₅ and R₄₋₂₃ are connected in series.
Rt = R₁ + R₅ + R₄₋₂₃
Rt = 150 + 270 + 488.25
Rt = 908.25 [ohm]

A skater of mass 60 kg has an initial velocity of 12 m/s. He slides on ice where the frictional force is 36 N. How far will the skater slide before he stops?
Answer:
d = 120 [m]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we must use the theorem of work and energy conservation. Where the energy in the final state (when the skater stops) is equal to the sum of the mechanical energy in the initial state plus the work done on the skater in the initial state.
The mechanical energy is equal to the sum of the potential energy plus the kinetic energy. As the track is horizontal there is no unevenness, in this way, there is no potential energy.
E₁ + W₁₋₂ = E₂
where:
E₁ = mechanical energy in the initial state [J] (units of Joules)
W₁₋₂ = work done between the states 1 and 2 [J]
E₂ = mechanical energy in the final state = 0
E₁ = Ek = kinetic energy [J]
E₁ = 0.5*m*v²
where:
m = mass = 60 [kg]
v = initial velocity = 12 [m/s]
Now, the work done is given by the product of the friction force by the distance. In this case, the work is negative because the friction force is acting in opposite direction to the movement of the skater.
W₁₋₂ = -f*d
where:
f = friction force = 36 [N]
d = distance [m]
Now we have:
0.5*m*v² - (f*d) = 0
0.5*60*(12)² - (36*d) = 0
4320 = 36*d
d = 120 [m]
