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.

How do the units of work and power compare?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Work done is given by :

W = Fd, where F is force and d is displacement

Unit of work done :

The SI unit of force is Newton (N) and that of displacement is meter (m). So, the unit of work done is N-m. It is call Joule. It means that the unit of work done is Joule.

Power is given by rate at which the work is done. It is given by :

P = W/t, W is work done and t is time

Unit of power:

Unit of work is Joule (J) and that of time is second (s). It means that the unit of power is Watt and it is equal to Joule/second

Hence, the correct option is (d) "The unit for work is a joule. The unit for power is a watt, which is a joule per second".

Which statement aboutſatmospheric pressure near Earth's surface is true?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Option B) It decreases as someone moves away from earth's surface.

Explanation:

The atmospheric pressure at the surface of the earth is at maximum, it is seen that as we move away from the surface of the earth the pressure decreases. As on the top of mountains the atmospheric pressure is found to be low as compared to the surface of the earth.

It is assumed that the atmospheric pressure is caused due to hydrostatic measurements where the changes caused by weight of air are measured.

Also, it is observed that when there is an  elevation, the atmospheric pressure decreases.

A police car drives 100 miles in 75 minutes. What is its average speed in miles per hour?
Y_Kistochka [10]
Its average speed is 80 miles per hour because 75 minutes=1.25 hours, and the police car travels 80 miles in 1.25 hours, so I just need to take 100 divided 1.25 equal 80. As a result, the police car travels 80 miles in one hour. Hope it help!
