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.

As 390 g of hot milk cools in a mug, it transfers 30,000 J of heat to the environment. What is the temperature change of the mil
kotykmax [81]
The correct answer is 19.72 °C. The first step is to determine the amount of heat that was lost per gram (30,000 J) / (390 g) = 76.92 J/g. Then to determine the temperature change, divide 76.92 J/g with the given specific heat of milk (76.92 J/g) / (3.9 J/g°C) = 19.72 °C.

What type of eclipse is shown? How do you know?
Sonja [21]
That is a lunar eclipse. At night, when the Earth is between the Sun and the moon, the moon would appear to be red. Just for future reference, a solar eclipse is when the Moon is between the Sun and Earth. Speaking of which, check out the solar eclipse this August!

Assuming that the limits of the visible spectrum are approximately 380 and 700 nm, find the angular range of the first-order vis
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

angular range is ( 0.681 rad , 0.35 rad )

Explanation:

given data

wavelength λ = 380 nm = 380 × 10^{-9} m

wavelength λ  = 700 nm =  700 × 10^{-9} m

to find out

angular range of the first-order

solution

we will apply here slit experiment equation that is

d sinθ = m λ    ...........1

here m is 1 for single slit and d is = \frac{1}{900*10^3 m}

so put here value in equation 1 for 380 nm

we get

d sinθ = m λ

\frac{1}{900*10^3} sinθ = 1 × 380 × 10^{-9}

θ = 0.35 rad

and for 700 nm

we get

d sinθ = m λ

\frac{1}{900*10^3} sinθ = 1 × 700 × 10^{-9}

θ = 0.681 rad

so angular range is ( 0.681 rad , 0.35 rad )
