What makes a clinical thermometer suitable for measuring small changes in body temperature? *
Nana76 [90]

Answer: Because of the fine bore of the tube.

Explanation:

Temperature is the degree of hotness and coldness. And thermometer is the instrument use to measure temperature.

The two most common types of themometric fluids for thermometer are alcohol and mercury.

What makes a clinical thermometer suitable for measuring small changes in body temperature is because of the fine bore of the tube which makes it possible for small temperature changes to cause large changes in the length of mercury columns, making the thermometer very sensitive to temperature changes.

The most prominent feature of the thermometer is the kink or constriction of bore near the bulb.

Why is it warmer near the equator and cooler near the poles?
Phantasy [73]
It is because the equator is closer to the sun and because the sun's rays hit the surface of the Earth at a higher angle at the equator. The poles are colder because they don't get direct sunlight. The sun is always low on the horizon.

Three equal charge 1.8*10^-8 each are located at the corner of an equilateral triangle ABC side 10cm.calculate the electric pote
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

If all these three charges are positive with a magnitude of 1.8 \times 10^{-8}\; \rm C each, the electric potential at the midpoint of segment \rm AB would be approximately 8.3 \times 10^{3}\; \rm V.

Explanation:

Convert the unit of the length of each side of this triangle to meters: 10\; \rm cm = 0.10\; \rm m.

Distance between the midpoint of \rm AB and each of the three charges:

  • d({\rm A}) = 0.050\; \rm m.
  • d({\rm B}) = 0.050\; \rm m.
  • d({\rm C}) = \sqrt{3} \times (0.050\; \rm m).

Let k denote Coulomb's constant (k \approx 8.99 \times 10^{9}\; \rm N \cdot m^{2} \cdot C^{-2}.)

Electric potential due to the charge at \rm A: \displaystyle \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm A})}.

Electric potential due to the charge at \rm B: \displaystyle \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm B})}.

Electric potential due to the charge at \rm A: \displaystyle \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm C})}.

While forces are vectors, electric potentials are scalars. When more than one electric fields are superposed over one another, the resultant electric potential at some point would be the scalar sum of the electric potential at that position due to each of these fields.

Hence, the electric field at the midpoint of \rm AB due to all these three charges  would be:

\begin{aligned}& \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm A})} + \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm B})} + \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm C})} \\ &= k\, \left(\frac{q}{d({\rm A})} + \frac{q}{d({\rm B})} + \frac{q}{d({\rm C})}\right) \\ &\approx 8.99 \times 10^{9}\; \rm N \cdot m^{2} \cdot C^{-2} \\ & \quad \quad \times \left(\frac{1.8 \times 10^{-8} \; \rm C}{0.050\; \rm m} + \frac{1.8 \times 10^{-8} \; \rm C}{0.050\; \rm m} + \frac{1.8 \times 10^{-8} \; \rm C}{\sqrt{3} \times (0.050\; \rm m)}\right) \\ &\approx 8.3 \times 10^{3}\; \rm V\end{aligned}.
