A liquid thermometer can be used to test for fevers. When body temperature increases, the liquid inside the thermometer expands

and
rises to show a higher
temperature reading. Which of the following explanations best describes the changes in thermal energy of the
particles during this specific example of heat transfer?
A. The tip of the thermometer is heated by radiation from the person's body. The particles of the thermometer tip then transfer heat
by convection through the liquid inside of it. The particles inside the liquid then convect heat causing the warmer particles to slow
down, rise, and expand.
B. The tip of the thermometer is heated by conduction from the person's body. The particles of the thermometer tip then transfer heat
by convection through the liquid inside of it. The particles inside the liquid then convect heat causing the warmer particles to slow
down, rise, and expand.
© C. The tip of the thermometer is heated by convection with the person's body. The particles of the thermometer tip then transfer heat
by conduction with the liquid inside of it. The particles inside the liquid then conduct heat causing the warmer particles to speed up,
rise, and expand
© D The tip of the thermometer is heated by conduction with the person's body. The particles of the thermometer tip then transfer heat
by conduction with the liquid inside of it. The particles inside the liquid then convect heat causing the warmer particles to speed up,
rise, and expand

Acceleration causes a shift of weight to the ______.
marta [7]
Vehicle weight shifts can be backward forward. In this particular case accelerating to fast would cause a shift of weight backwards. Breaking too quickly on the other hand would cause weight to shift forward. You have seen this while in a car or a bus at the traffic light. As the vehicle breaks you are pulled forward as it starts moving you are pulled backwards.

If the earth were not revolving around the sun would the earth fall into the sun? Why?
Cerrena [4.2K]
<span>If it stopped spinning completely, you would get 1/2 year daylight and 1/2 year nightime!! During daytime for 6 months, the surface temperature would depend on your latitude, being far hotter that it is now at the equator than at the poles where the light rays are more slanted and heating efficiency is lower. This long-term temperature gradient would alter the atmospheric wind circulation pattern so that the air would move from the equator to the poles rather than in wind systems parallel to the equator like they are now!</span>

a graph depicts force versus position. what represents the work done by the force over the given displacement?
atroni [7]
The area under the graph. W = f d cos(theta), so you want the number that is force times displacement, which corresponds to the area under the graph.

Compare and Contrast the two main branches of physical science. How are they the same? How are they different?
nignag [31]
Physics
Chemistry


Physical science is science which studies non-living things.This covers things on earth to the universe.The main branches are physics and chemistry.The other sub-branches are Astronomy, meteorology and Geology.Physics is concerned with the basic principals of matter and energy.It covers concepts in motion, energy, force, pressure , light and many other areas we encounter in our day to day life.Chemistry is concerned with composition of matter and how it reacts.Material in chemistry is understood through observing molecules, atoms, elements and their interaction in nature including their properties.Chemistry is further divided into organic chemistry and natural chemistry sub-branches.

Hope this helps you!!!
