Power formula is P= W/ Delta t, or we know that W= saclar product of D and F, D=length of distance traveled, F= the applied force, it is W = //D// //F// cos(D, F), when we substitute, we get P=[ //D// //F// cos (D, F)]/ deltat, or //D// = V x delta t, P= [V x delta t x //F// cos(D, F)] / delta t, and then P= V//F//cos(D, F), or V and D have the same direction, so cos(D, F)= cos(V, F), finally P= V. F (or scalar product of V and F)
<u>Melting point</u> is defined as the temperature at which solid and liquid phases are in equilibrium. It is the temperature at which a solid changes state from solid to liquid at atmospheric pressure.
<u>Boiling poin</u>t is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure. It is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid into a gas.
<u>The flash point </u>of a flammable liquid or volatile liquid is the lowest temperature at which it can form an ignitable mixture in air. At this temperature the vapor may cease to burn when the source of ignition is removed.
The constriction causes the mercury column to break under tension, leaving a vacuum between the bottom of the column and that in the bulb, and the top of the column stays still at the position reached in the body - a "peak hold" system.
