The mercury thermometer operates on the principle of dilation.

<h3>What is the working principle of a mercury thermometer?</h3>

Like all liquids, mercury expands as it is heated, so it moves along the thermometer tube, determining the temperature. Its expansion rate is calibrated on the glass scale, expansion is linear and can be accurately calibrated.

Mercury allows it to be used in a thermometer by its liquid expansion fast enough to measure something so that it still maintains an accurate measurement.

Hello! The nontoxic, nonflammable chemicals containing atoms of carbon, chlorine, and fluorine that have created a hole in the ozone layer are the Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)

These are compounds developed and improved by Thomas Midgley in the late 1920s. They were used as refrigerants and aerosol propellants.

These compounds created a hole in the ozone layer by the following reactions:

CCl₃F → CCl₂F· + Cl· (In the presence of light. Radical Reaction)
Cl· + O₃ → ClO + O₂
ClO + O₃ → Cl· + O₂ 

The last 2 reactions can repeat in a radical mechanism and explain why these compounds are so harmful to the ozone layer.

Starting from rest, a particle that is confined to move along a straight line is accelerated at a rate of 5.0 m/s2. Which one of
Elanso [62]

Answer:

c) The slope is not constant and increases with increasing time.

Explanation:

The equation for the position of this particle (starting from rest is)

s = at^2/2 = 5t^2/2 = 2.5t^2

We can take derivative of this with respect to time t to get the equation of slope:

s' = (2.5t^2)' = 2*2.5t = 5t

As time t increase, the slope would increases with time as well.
