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.

Yanka [14]

Answer:

V = 2.87 m/s

Explanation:

The minimum speed required would be that at which the acceleration due to gravity is negated by the centrifugal force on the water.

Thus, we simply need to set the centripetal acceleration equal to gravity and solve for the speed V using the following equation:

Centripetal acceleration = V^2 / r

where r is the distance of water from the pivot or shoulder.

For our case, r will be 0.65 + 0.19 = 0.84 m

and solving the above equation we get:

9.81 = V^2 / 0.84

V^2 = 8.2404

V = 2.87 m/s

What is one way to increase the amplitude of a wave in a medium

vovikov84 [41]

supply it with more energy. one way to do is to produce vibrations in the same frequency as the wave. This would cause resonance leading to higher amplitude

timofeeve [1]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts given in the balance of forces for the tangential force and the centripetal force. An easy way to detail this problem is through a free body diagram that describes the behavior of the body and the forces to which it is subject.

PART A) Normal Force.

$F_n = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

$N+mgcos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Here,

Normal reaction of the ring is N and velocity of the ring is v

$N+mgcos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

$N+Wcos\theta = \frac{W}{g} (\frac{v^2}{r})$

$N+2cos30\° = \frac{2}{32.2}*\frac{10^2}{2}$

$N = 1.374lb$

PART B) Acceleration

$F_t = ma_t$

$-mgsin\theta = ma_t$

$-W sin\theta = \frac{W}{g} a_t$

$-2Sin30\° = (\frac{2}{32.2})a_t$

$a_T = -16.10ft/s^2$

Negative symbol indicates deceleration.
