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.

Air is heated in a glass bottle. The heat energy added to the air is 2.0 × 104 joules. What is the change in internal energy of
Liono4ka [1.6K]
The change in internal energy of the gas is \Delta U = 2.0 \cdot 10^4 J.

In fact, the 1st law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system is equal to the amount of heat given to the system (Q) plus the work done on the system (W):
\Delta U = Q+W
In this example, no work is done on the bottle so W=0, while the heat given to the system is Q=2.0 \cdot 10^4 J, so the change in internal energy of the gas is
\Delta U = Q = 2.0 \cdot 10^4 J

A charged capacitor is connected to an ideal inductor to form an LC circuit with a frequency of oscillation f = 1.6 Hz. At time
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

8.0\mu C

Explanation:

We are given that

f=1.6 Hz

q=3.0\mu C=3.0\times 10^{-6} C

1\mu C=10^{-6} C

Current,I=75\mu A=75\times 10^{-6} A

1\mu A=10^{-6} A

We have to find the maximum charge of the capacitor.

Charge on the capacitor,q=q_0cos\omega t

\omega=2\pi f=2\pi\times 1.6=3.2\pi rad/s

3\times 10^{-6}=q_0cos3.2\pi t....(1)

I=\frac{dq}{dt}=-q_0\omega sin\omega t

75\times 10^{-6}=-q_0(3.2\pi)sin3.2\pi t....(2)

Equation (2) divided by equation (1)

-3.2\pi tan3.2\pi t=\frac{75\times 10^{-6}}{3\times 10^{-6}}=25

tan3.2\pi t=-\frac{25}{3.2\pi}=-2.488

3.2\pi t=tan^{-1}(-2.488)=-1.188rad

q_0=\frac{q}{cos\omega t}=\frac{3\times 10^{-6}}{cos(-1.188)}=8.0\times 10^{-6}=8\mu C

Hence, the maximum charge of the capacitor=8.0\mu C
