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 football kick returner catches the ball just as a player from the opposing team dives to tackle him. At the time of impact, th

The total momentum of the players after collision is 130 kgm/s.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Initial momentum of the returner, </em>P_i_1<em> = 0 kgm/s</em>
  • <em>The initial momentum of the diving player, </em>P_i_2<em> = 130 kgm/s</em>

The total momentum of the players after collision is determined by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum as follows;

P_f = P_i_1 + P_i_2\\\\P_f = 0 + 130\\\\P_f = 130 \ kgm/s

Thus, the total momentum of the players after collision is 130 kgm/s.

The doctor writes a prescription for na heparin 20,000 units in 500 ml n.s. infuse over 8 hours. what is the flow rate in ml/hr?
Ne4ueva [31]
I think this type of equation could be conducted in simple division equation since it does not involve drop rate.

we know that there is 500 ml of substance and should be infused within 8 hours period.

So the flow rate in ml/hr would be: 

500/8 = 62.5 ml/hr
