| 3 x α = V2−V1 |
| V1×Δθ |
| 3 x 2 x 10−5 = V2−10 |
| 100×10 |
| V2 = (100 x 10 x 3 x 2 10−2) + 10 |
| = 10.6 cm3 |

A few grains of table salt were put in a cup of cold water, kept at constant temperature and left undistributed. Eventually all the water tested salty. This action is due to?
Antwortdetails
Diffusion is the process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration until they are evenly distributed. It occurs in various substances, such as gases, liquids, and solids, and is driven by the random motion of molecules. This process plays a crucial role in many biological and physical phenomena, such as the movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide across cell membranes, the dispersion of perfume in the air, and the mixing of solutes in solutions.

A Mercury-in-glass thermometer works by measuring the expansion of mercury in a glass tube as the temperature increases. The lower fixed point is typically the point where the mercury is at its minimum and the upper fixed point is where the mercury is at its maximum. In this case, the lower fixed point is at 0°C and the upper fixed point is at 30°C, and the mercury is 210mm above the lower fixed point. So, the temperature of the room must be 30.43°C.

The fiqure above represents a block-and-tackle pulley system on which an effort of W Newtons supports a load of 120.0N. If the efficiency of the machine is 40 , then the value of W is
Antwortdetails
| V.E = 6, load = 120N |
| Efficiency = M.A x 1 x 100% |
| V.R |
| 40 = 120 x 1 x 100 |
| effort 6 1 |
| Effort = 50N |

Radioactivity is the spontaneous emission of radiation from atomic nuclei. This radiation can consist of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation.
Natural radioactivity is a purely nuclear phenomenon. The nucleus of a radioactive substance is unstable and such an unstable nucleus undergoes spontaneous breakdown (disintegration). The process continues until a stable nucleus is obtained.

| Heat energy = Electrical Energy |
| Hence, |
| MCθ = power x time |
| 5 x 1 x 10−2 x C = 100 x 20 |
| C = 200 |
| 5×102 |
| = 4 x 104 J/kg/oC |
Frage 29 Bericht

P = (5 x 50) + (100 x 4)
= 650watts
Energy(kWhr) = 650 x 10-3 x 10
= 6.5 kWhr
1kWhr cost 2 kobo ; 6.5 kWhr will cost 2×6.512×6.51

The effect of closing the key K in the circuit shown in the figure above would be to?
Antwortdetails
| When K is open, the total Resistance = 8 + 2 = 10? |
| 1 = V? = 6v? = 0.6A |
| When K is closed, 18+18=1? |
