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.

a bullet of mass 4g when fired with a velocity of 50m/s can enter a wall upto a depth of 10cm how much will be the average resis

jok3333 [9.3K]

Mass, m = 4g = 0.004 kg
Velocity, = 50cm/s = 0.5m/s
Distance, 10cm = 0.1m
The wall would have to resist the energy acquired by the bullet.

Kenetic Energy of bullet = Resistance offered by the wall.

1/2 mv² = Resistance Force * Distance

(1/2) * 0.04 * 0.5 * 0.5 = F * 0.1

0.5 * 0.04 * 0.5 * 0.5 = F * 0.1

0.5 * 0.04 * 0.5 * 0.5/0.1 = F

0.05 = F

Therefore, Resistance offered by the wall = 0.05 N

How do intensity, frequency, and time affect physical fitness?

Y_Kistochka [10]

Important bc it makes it more effective, the specific rate makes or breaks the fitness. Frequency is important to allow your body to rebuild and repair the damage from working out, it allows the body to adapt and time for rest/ healing. Intensity depends on how much your body breaks so the recover time and frequency must be adjusted. Time effects because of the distance between frequencies which plays a role.

While researching scuba diving, Pablo reads how hot a tank should get while being filled with air. Which law best explains why t

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Gay-Lussac’s law, because as the pressure increases, the temperature increases

Explanation:

First of all, we can notice that the volume of the tank is fixed: this means that the volume of the air inside is also fixed.

This means that in this situation we can apply Gay-Lussac's law, which states that:

"for a gas kept at constant volume, the pressure of the gas is proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas".

Mathematically:

$p\propto T$

where p is the pressure in Pascal and T is the temperature in Kelvin.

In this case, the tank is filled with air: this means that the pressure of the gas inside the tank increases. And therefore, according to Gay-Lussac's law, the temperature will increase proportionally, and this explains why the tank gets hot.
