Explain why the thermometer has thin walls on its bulb?

1 answer:

7 0

The glass around the bulb in a clinical thermometer (the conventional one) is thin because glass is not a good conductor of heat. The clinician and the
patient don't want to wait half an hour to get a good temperature reading. By using the thinner glass, the transfer of heat into the thermometer's fluid will

At summer camp, the swimming course runs the length (L) of a small lake. To determine the length of the course, the camp counsel

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

47 m

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include the following:

Length of dry leg 1 (L1) = 40 m

Length of dry leg 2 (L2) = 25 m

Length of swimming course (L) =..?

The length of the swimming course can be obtained by using pythagoras theory as shown below:

L² = L1² + L2²

L² = 40² + 25²

L² = 1600 + 625

L² = 2225

Take the square root of both side.

L = √2225

L = 47.1 ≈ 47 m

Therefore, the length of the swimming course is approximately 47 m.

The two cyclists travel at the same speed on level ground. They approach a low hill and decide to coast up instead of hard pedal

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Option-(E): Bike B; its wheels have a smaller moment of inertia.

Explanation:

The two cyclists travel at the same speed on level ground, as they approach a low hill and decide to coast up instead of hard pedaling. At the top of the hill, as bike "B" will have a larger speed, as compared to the bike "A".Due, to the effect of having smaller moment of inertia, I=m×r².

Having no friction nor air resistance, and all the wheels roll on the ground without slipping. While, the B have larger speed,v due to the fact that bike "B" will have a larger speed,"v" as compared to the bike "A".
