What happens when you put a bimetallic strip in the flame of a burner?

When a bimetallic strip is exposed to the flame of a burner, the two metals in the strip expand at different rates due to their differing coefficients of thermal expansion. This causes the strip to bend as one side expands more than the other, demonstrating the principle behind the bimetallic strip's use in thermostats and temperature-regulating devices.

What is lab pack?

A 'lab pack' is a hazardous waste disposal term used to describe a container - typically a 55 gallon fiber or steel drum - filled with various small quantity containers of compatible laboratory chemicals. The small containers within the drum are usually packed in vermiculite or other inert packing material to allow safe transport of the waste chemicals.

How are si units for volume and density derived from si units for length and mass?

The unit of volume (cubic metre) is derived quite easily from the unit of length (metre). Imagine a cube whose edges are all one metre long - the volume of this cube is one cubic metre. Any volume can be expressed as multiples of this (e.g. 6 cubic metres), or as a fraction of this (e.g. 0.25 cubic metres).

One thousandth of a cubic metre is called a a "cubic decimetre" or a "litre" (a decimetre being one tenth of a metre). If you have one cubic decimetre of water, its mass is one kilogram, as originally defined. This makes the density of water equal to exactly 1 kilogram per cubic decimetre (1 kg dm-3), or 1000 kilograms per cubic metre (1000 kg m-3). All other densities are measured relative to that, so if a substance has a density of 2 kg dm-3, it is twice as dense (heavy for its size) as water.

Water is used as a liquid that we are all familiar with, and we kind of know from our everyday lives how heavy it is going to be, judging from how much of it there is, (assuming it is a relatively small quantity).

What is kenitic energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. The amount of kinetic energy an object has is dependent on its mass and its velocity. The formula for calculating kinetic energy is: KE = 0.5 x mass x velocity^2.

What is the behavior of metal listeners?

It's hard to generalize ALL metal listeners to having the same or even similar behaviours while listening to metal. Some people believe that metal listeners get "high" listening to metal and just start feeling angry and suddenly wanting to do destructive/evil things. Others believe they are mostly kids that hate everything (school, parents, etc) and therefore listen to metal as a way of feeling like they belong somewhere.

On the other hand, there are studies that show intelligent people (students) who receive high grades in school listening to metal to cope with their stress. Their behavior while listening to metal may be akin to any ordinary person listening to "ordinary" music.

Therefore, the behaviour of listening to metal not something you can identify on the whole but dependent on the individuals themselves.

I personally enjoy metal as as an alternative to my other musical tastes such as electronic, rock, indie, jazz, and occasionally classical (depending on my mood). When I feel upset or angry, it is not unlikely for me to listen to metal if I were to choose. Will I be influenced by the I am hearing on the spot??? Let's hope you're not around me then.....

Three examples of liquid?

Anything can become a liquid if condensed from a gas to a liquid, or melted from a solid to a liquid. If you are asking about 3 items that liquid on earth, at average temperature:

1) Water

2) Bromine

3) Mercury

How much rain must an area receive in a year to be considered a rainforest?

A rainforest is not defined exclusively by the amount of rain it gets. There are other factors (average temperature, layers of overgrowth) that are characteristic of rainforests, either tropical or temperate. However, the general range for the classification is more than about 1750 to 2000 mm (68-78 inches) of annual rainfall.

Example of light energy?

Sunlight is an example of light energy. It is produced by the sun and travels in the form of electromagnetic waves, providing illumination and heat to the Earth.

What kinds of buildings are most at risk from lightning strikes Why?

Answer The tallest buildings in the area because the lightning only has a short length to travel before coming into contact with something.Having a lightning rod also increases the chance of lightning striking.

What is heat enrgy?

Heat energy is a form of energy that is transferred between objects due to a difference in temperature. It is the energy associated with the random motion of particles in a substance. Heat energy flows naturally from hot objects to cold objects until thermal equilibrium is reached.

Why was GPS system invented?

War, plain and simple. It was designed to allow smart bombs and cruse missiles to hit their targets accurately. It was also developed for military deployment of troops and equipment. It was also invented to give directions to lost pedestrians.

How high do helium balloons fly before they pop?

Depends on the type of rubber and amount of helium in balloon

What is a political boundry?

A political boundary is a demarcation line separating two or more states or countries, outlining their territorial jurisdictions. These boundaries can be natural, such as rivers or mountain ranges, or artificially established through treaties or agreements. They serve to define the limits of a government's authority and control.

Chalk baking powder starch sugar and salt are dissolve in waterif yes explain me the changees happenes after like in colour taste smell and grains due to each of those mentioned if not explain?

When dissolved in water, chalk will not change color or taste, but may change the pH of the solution. Baking powder will dissolve, resulting in a cloudy solution due to the release of gas bubbles. Starch will thicken the water, altering its texture. Sugar will dissolve, sweetening the solution. Salt will dissolve, enhancing the salty taste. Each substance will not change its smell when dissolved in water.

What is a compass rose?

A compass rose shows cardinal directions like (N, S, E, and W) and it shows intermediate directions like (NE, NW, SE and SW).

Another example of a compass rose is that it is a circle showing the principal directions printed on a map or chart.

What color is not considered a primary color of light?

Pink is not considered a primary color of light. The primary colors of light are red, blue, and green. Pink is a mix of red and white light.

What is the major factor that determines population growth?

To have population growth, you must have more babies being born than more people dying in a country. If you have more of a death rate (the amount of people dying each year) than a birth rate (the amount of babies being born each year) then you will have a declining popualtion, that if gets out of hand, may cause underpopulation. If the amount of babies being born is too high compared to the among of people dying, then there may be a problem when it comes ot overpopulation. The major factor is 'crude birth rate', or the amount of babies being born each year over the amount of people dying each year. There are other factors as well if you would like to know, such as the education rate (if the mothers do not know how to keep themselves from getting pregnant, then more babies will be born) as well as life expectancy (if the babies are being born later, than more parents will die sooner) and westernization (when a country has a good economy, more women are choosing jobs over having families).

Does the pancreas produce acid?

No, the pancreas does not produce acid. It primarily produces digestive enzymes and bicarbonate to help with digestion in the small intestine. The acid in the digestive system is mainly produced by the stomach.

5 examples of non-matter?

  1. Light: Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that does not have mass or occupy space.
  2. Sound: Sound is a mechanical wave that travels through a medium, such as air, but does not have mass.

  4. Thoughts: Thoughts are mental processes that occur in the mind and do not have physical substance.
  5. Emotions: Emotions are psychological states that arise in response to stimuli and events, but they are not physical matter.

Si unit for density?

The standard international unit for measuring density is kilograms per cubic metrer (kg/m3).
