Find the temperature coefficient of metal X

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around determining the temperature coefficient of metal X using the formula R(50°C) = R(20°C)(1 + a lΔTl). It questions whether the relationship between resistance (R) and temperature (T) is linear, suggesting that if it is, R can be expressed as R = (dR/dT)T + c, where dR/dT and c are constants. Participants clarify that the graph in question is not part of a measured lab assignment, indicating a focus on theoretical understanding rather than experimental data. The inquiry is driven by curiosity about the application of these concepts in an introductory course context. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the linear relationship between resistance and temperature for accurate calculations.

Homework Statement



Metal X
METALX.jpg

1) since the graph does not show that V is linearly related with I , is it right for me to apply the formula
R(50*C)=R(20*C) (1+ a lΔTl )
to find the temperature coefficient of metal X ?

2) R/Ω is linearly related with T/*C ?
If yes, will R=(dR/dT)T+c ?
Whereby dR/dT and c are constants that a fixed for the similar metal

1) looks to behave that way.

For an introductory course I'd say this is what they would want you to use.

Is this graph part of a measured lab assignment?

the graph is not part of the measure lab assignment.
I ask this question simply because of curiosity.
Thank you for answering my question , your help is greatly appreciated.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
