What makes a clinical thermometer suitable for measuring small changes in body temperature? *

Physics
1 answer:
Nana76 [90]3 years ago
4 0

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.

The increase in volume of matter that occurs when matter is heated. a) Contraction b) Expansion c) kinetic energy d) Volume
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

b) Expansion

Explanation:

In science, matter can be defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. Any physical object that is found on earth is typically composed of matter. Matter are known to be made up of atoms and as a result has the property of existing in states.

Generally, matter exists in three (3) distinct or classical phases and these are; solid, liquid and gas.

A physical change can be defined as a type of change that involves an increase or decrease in the volume of a physical object (object). Also, this change can be reversed to the original state under certain conditions.

The increase in volume of matter that occurs when matter is heated causes an expansion.

This ultimately implies that, when a physical object (matter) is heated for a specific period of time, it result in an increase in the volume of the object; this phenomenon is generally referred to as expansion.

On the other hand, a decrease in volume of a physical object (matter) as a result of heat is known as contraction.

Using the
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The principle of momentum conservation states that if there no external force the total momentum of the system before and after the collision is conserved.

Since momentum is a vector, we should investigate the directions and magnitudes of initial and final momentum.

\vec{P}_{initial} = \vec{P}_{final}\\\vec{P}_{initial} = m_1\vec{v}_1 + 0\\\vec{P}_{final} = m_1\vec{v}_1' + m_2 \vec{v}_2'

If the first ball hits the second ball with an angle, we should separate the x- and y-components of the momentum (or velocity), and apply conservation of momentum separately on x- and y-directions.
