re. Suppose that the resistance of a platinum resistance thermometer is 125 Ω when its temperature is 20.0°C. The wire is then immersed in boiling chlorine, and the resistance drops to 99.6 Ω. The temperature coefficient of resistivity of platinum is α = 3.72 × 10−3(C°)−1. What is the temperature of the boiling chlorine?

Answer:

- 48.55 degree

Explanation:

Resistance increases when temperature increases. This increase is linear and which is defined by the following relation between resistance and temperature

R_t=R_0(1-\alpha\times t)

R_t is resistance at temperature t , R₀ is resistance at temperature t₀  , t is rise in temperature and α is temperature coefficient of resistance .

Putting the values we get

125 = 99.6 ( 1 + 3.72x 10⁻³ x t )

t = 68.55

Therefore temperature of boiling chlorine is 20-68.55 = - 48.55 degree celsius .

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

c>d>f=a>b>e

Explanation:

When a pair of medial has greater difference between the their individual refractive indices with respect to vacuum then it has a greater deviation between the refracted ray and the incident ray.

According to the Snell's law:

\rm refractive\ index\ (n)=\frac{speed\ of\ light\ in\ the\ incident\ medium}{speed\ of\ light\ in\ the\ refracted\ medium}

a)

n_1-n_2=1.33-1.00\\=0.33

b)

n_2-n_1=1.46-1.33

=0.23

c)

n_2-n_1=2.42-1.33\\=1.09

d)

n_2-n_1=1.46-1.00\\=0.46

e)

n_1-n_2=1.50-1.33\\=0.17

f)

n_2-n_1=1.33-1.00\\=0.33

c>d>f=a>b>e

A small rock is launched straight upward from the surface of a planet with no atmosphere. The initial speed of the rock is twice
Scorpion4ik [409]

If gravitational effects from other objects are negligible, the speed of the rock at a very great distance from the planet will approach a value of \sqrt{3} v_{e}

<u>Explanation:</u>

To express velocity which is too far from the planet and escape velocity by using the energy conservation, we get

Rock’s initial velocity , v_{i}=2 v_{e}. Here the radius is R, so find the escape velocity as follows,

            \frac{1}{2} m v_{e}^{2}-\frac{G M m}{R}=0

            \frac{1}{2} m v_{e}^{2}=\frac{G M m}{R}

            v_{e}^{2}=\frac{2 G M}{R}

            v_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}}

Where, M = Planet’s mass and G = constant.

From given conditions,

Surface potential energy can be expressed as,  U_{i}=-\frac{G M m}{R}

R tend to infinity when far away from the planet, so v_{f}=0

Then, kinetic energy at initial would be,

                  k_{i}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{i}^{2}=\frac{1}{2} m\left(2 v_{e}\right)^{2}

Similarly, kinetic energy at final would be,

                k_{f}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{f}^{2}

Here, v_{f}=\text { final velocity }

Now, adding potential and kinetic energies of initial and final and equating as below, find the final velocity as

                 U_{i}+k_{i}=k_{f}+v_{f}

                 \frac{1}{2} m\left(2 v_{e}\right)^{2}-\frac{G M m}{R}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{f}^{2}+0

                  \frac{1}{2} m\left(2 v_{e}\right)^{2}-\frac{G M m}{R}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{f}^{2}

'm' and \frac{1}{2} as common on both sides, so gets cancelled, we get as

                   4\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}-\frac{2 G M}{R}=v_{f}^{2}

We know, v_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}}, it can be wriiten as \left(v_{e}\right)^{2}=\frac{2 G M}{R}, we get

                4\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}-\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}=v_{f}^{2}

                v_{f}^{2}=3\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}

Taking squares out, we get,

                v_{f}=\sqrt{3} v_{e}

A roller coaster travels 200 feet horizontally and then rises 135 feet at an angle of 30 degrees above the ground. What is the m
Delvig [45]
Say the initial point is (0,0)

The final point is

x = 200 + 135*cos(30) = 200 + 135*sqrt(3)/2 = 316.91 ft
y = 135*sin(30) = 135/2 = 67.5 ft

Resultant vector = (316.91, 67.5) - (0,0) = 316.91, 67.5) ft

A woman is straining to lift a large crate, without success because it is too heavy. We denote the forces on the crate as follow
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Force P is acting upward

C is vertical contact Force

W is the weight of the crate

As P is unable to move the Block therefore Normal reaction keeps on acting on block

thus we can say that

P-W+C=0

P=W-C
