Find the final temperature of the ball

AI Thread Summary
To find the final temperature of a copper ball with a radius of 1.5 cm that has expanded due to heating, the coefficient of linear expansion for copper is utilized, which is 17 x 10^-6. The coefficient of volume expansion is determined to be three times this value. The volume change is calculated to be approximately 0.54. Initially, there was confusion regarding the application of the equation delta V = BV(delta T), but the correct approach involves adding the room temperature of 22°C to the calculated temperature change. The final temperature of the ball is confirmed to be 410.27°C.

A copper ball with a radius of 1.5 cm is heated until its diameter has increased by 0.20 mm. Assuming a room temperature of 22°C, find the final temperature of the ball.

What have you tried?
 
well, I know that the coefficient of linear expansion for copper is 17 x 10^-6, so it's coefficient of volume expansion is 3 times that.. and I know that the volume has changed by about .54. I'm not really sure what to do with this though
 
I assume I'm using the equation delta V = BV(delta T), but when I do this I get a huge number
 
nevermind, I got it. I was subtracting 22 instead of adding it. The answer is 410.27 right?

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
