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.

a boy is riding a bicycle at a velocity of 5.0 m/s. he applies the brakes and uniformly decelerates to a stop at a rate of 2.5 m

JulijaS [17]

The working equation would be Vf (final velocity) = Vi (initial velocity) + a (acceleration) t (time). The given data are the initial velocity (5.0 m/s), acceleration (-2.5 m/s^2, negative since it is said to decelerate) and the final velocity (0 m/s, since it will put to a stop). The time would be 2 seconds.
