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.

When you push a child on a swing, your action is most effective when your pushes are timed to coincide with the natural frequenc

OleMash [197]

Answer:

$T = 4.48 s$

we can see that this time period is independent of the mass of the child so answer would be same if the child mass is different

Explanation:

Natural frequency of a simple pendulum of L length is given as

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}$

so the time period of the oscillation is given as

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

so we will have

$L = 5 m$

$T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{5}{9.81}}$

$T = 4.48 s$

also from above formula we can see that this time period is independent of the mass of the child so answer would be same if the child mass is different

What is (Fnet3)x, the x-component of the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3

Pachacha [2.7K]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Coulomb's law for the magnitude of the force F between two particles with charges Q and Q' separated by a distance d is

|FI = |QQ'I / d²

where K = 1/4π∈0, and

∈0 = 8.854 × 10⁻¹² C²/(N.m²) is the permittivity of free space.

Consider two point charges located on the x-axis:

one charge, q₁ = -18.5 nC, is located at

x₁ = -1.715m; the charge q₂ = 30.5 nC, is at the origin ( x₂=0 )

What is (Fnet3)x, the x-component of the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q₃ = 51.0 nC placed between q₁ and q₂ at x₃ = -1.085 m ?

Answer: (Fnet3)x = -3.3287 × 10⁻⁵ N

Explanation:

Given that;

Q₁ = -18.5 nC Q₃ = 51 nC Q₂ = 30.5 nC

x₁ = - 1.715m x₃ = - 1.085m x₂ = 0

Now

x - component of Net force on charge Q₃ is

(Fnet3)x = -K|Q₁I|Q₃I / r₁3² - -K|Q₂I|Q₃I / r₂3²

(Fnet3)x = -(9×10⁹)(51×10⁻⁹) [ 18.5 / ((-1.085 + 1.715)²) + (30.5 / (-1.085)² ] × 10⁻⁹

(Fnet3)x = -3.3287 × 10⁻⁵ N

What is all cells in a body that arent formed in a reproductive organ???

vovangra [49]

Explanation:

An organ is made of several types of tissue and therefore several types of cells. For example, the heart contains muscle tissue that contracts to pump blood, fibrous tissue that makes up the heart valves, and special cells that maintain the rate and rhythm of heartbeats.

two cars are travelling side by side down a straight road in opposite directions. both cars are travelling at a speed of 22 m/s.

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: 44m/s

Explanation:

Speed of Car A travelling left = 22m/s

Speed of Car B travelling right = 22m/s

Now recall that relative speed of objects moving in opposite directions is equal to the sum of each speed

Hence, Relative speed = (Speed of Car A + Speed of Car B)

= (22m/s + 22m/s)

= 44m/s
