What is the purpose of a kink in a thermometer?

Physics

kolezko [41]2 years ago

Kink in the Mercury thermometer helps to prevents the falling of mercury present in capillary  tube into bulb. It ensures that the user takes the correct reading of temperature. That's the reason a person before taking a new reading must give a sudden shake to the clinical thermometer so that the mercury level comes to normal .

Answer:

A 'kink' in the glass tube which breaks the mercury as it contracts, storing the highest temperature reading. The glass tube is shaped like a lens to magnify the thin mercury thread. Shaking the thermometer resets the mercury back into the bulb.

All of the following processes are the ones that lead directly to the formation of sedimentary rock EXCEPT-
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

melting of rock deep underground.

Explanation:

The melting of rocks deep underground does not produce sedimentary rocks. Most igneous rocks are produced by this process.

When molten rocks underground called magma is solidified in the subsurface, it results into the formation of igneous bodies.

  • Sedimentary rocks forms by the accumulation of sediments.
  • Inside the basin where the sediments are deposited, they are compacted, cemented and lithified.
  • Chemical and physical weathering of rocks produces sediments.

Which projectiles will be visibly affected by air resistance when they fall?
NemiM [27]
Any object that is launched as a projectile will lose speed and, as a result, altitude, as it travels through the air. The rate at which the object loses speed and altitude depends on the amount of force that way applied to it when it was launched. It is also dependent on the size and shape of the item. This is why something like, say, a football is much faster to fall to the ground than a bullet.

Consider the f(x) = cos(x-C) function shown in the figure in blue color, where 0 ≤ C ≤ 2π. What is the value of parameter C for
klemol [59]

The value of parameter C for the function in the figure is 2.

<h3>What is amplitude of a wave?</h3>

The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of the wave. It can also be described at the maximum upward displacement of a wave curve.

f(x) = Acos(x - C)

where;

  • A is amplitude of the wave
  • C is phase difference of the wave

<h3>What is angular frequency of a wave?</h3>

Angular frequency is  the angular displacement of any element of the wave per unit time.

From the blue colored graph; at y = 1, x = -2 cm

1 = cos(2 - C)

(2 - C) = cos^(1)

(2 - C) = 0

C = 2

Thus, the value of parameter C for the function in the figure is 2.
