<em>The sensitivity of a mercury thermometer can be increased by using a smaller mercury bulb, thinner wall and smaller bore. A smaller bulb contains less mercury and hence absorbs heat in shorter time. As a result it can response faster to temperature change.</em>
In order for particles to perform a simple harmonic motion, we must follow the law of force of the form F = -kx, where x is the displacement of the object from the equilibrium position and k is the spring constant. The
force shown in <span>F = -kx is always the restoring force in the sense
that the particles are pulled towards the equilibrium position.
The
repulsive force felt when the charge q1 is pushed into another charge
q2 of the same polarity is given by Coulomb's law
F = </span><span>k *q1* q2 / r^2.
</span>It is clear that Coulomb's law is an inverse-square relationship. It does not have the same mathematical form as the equation <span><span>F = -kx.</span> Thus,
charged particles pushed towards another fixed charged particle of
the same fixed polarity do not show a simple harmonic motion when
released. Coulomb's law does not describe restoring force. When q1 is released, it just fly away from q2 and never returns.</span>
Weight is based on density mass is not.
The material is called paramagnetic or non magnetic material. Opposite to this are materials whose magnetic domains are aligned and possess asmagnetism which is due to its ferrous or iron content.
During a rainstorm, water seeps into the ground. This process is called INFILTRATION.
Infiltration is a part of the six process of the water cycle. It is the second part of the cycle.
The 6 processes are CONDENSATION, INFILTRATION, RUNOFF, EVAPORATION, PRECIPITATION, TRANSPIRATION.
