Why mercury is preferred over alcohol in thermometer

Physics
1 answer:
kondor19780726 [428]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Reason why Mercury is preferred to alcohol as thermometric liquids. 1. Mercury has a much greater conductivity than alcohol and expands rapidly, and thus indicates a temperature change quickly. ... Mercury does not wet glass but alcohol because of its concave meniscus tends to cling to the walls of stem of the thermometer.

Help on finding kinetic energy??
Jobisdone [24]
Trick question? In order to have kinetic energy, an object must be moving. Therefore, in this case, kinetic energy would be 0. If it were asking about potential energy, it would be a different story.

Nicole throws a ball at 25 m/s at an angle of 60 degrees abound the horizontal. What is the range of the ball?
just olya [345]

Answer:

the range or the ball is 48.81 m

Explanation:

given;

Nicole throws a ball at 25 m/s at an angle of 60 degrees abound the horizontal.

find:

What is the range of the ball?

solution:

let Ф = 25°

Vo = 25 m/s

<u>consider x-motion using time of fight: x = Vox * t</u>

where x = R = range

t =<u> 2 Voy </u>

      g

R =<u> Vo² sin (2Ф)</u>

           g

plugin values into the formula:

R = <u>(25)² sin (2*25) </u>

               9.81

R = 48.81 m

therefore, the range or the ball is 48.81 m

You are watching a magic show. For one trick the magician rolls a ball down a hill. Suddenly the ball stops moving down the hill
poizon [28]
The forces (what causes the ball to accelerate) are gravity, friction, and the normal force. In this case, gravity is a downward force caused by the gigantic mass of the Earth and the mass of the ball. Keep in mind that a force is acceleration. Acceleration is a change in velocity. The ball speeds up. Than it stops speeding up at a certain point where the frictional force (along with air friction) equals the parallel component of gravity. 




Newton's Second Law States- The greater mass of an object, the more force it will take to accelerate the object.

Brutus, a champion weight lifter, raises 220 kg a distance of 3.10 m. (a) how much work is done by brutus lifting the weights? j
Nana76 [90]
A) work = force * distance 
mass is not a force, weight is, so we have to find the weight of the block. 
Weight = mg 
Weight = (220kg)(9.8) 
Weight = 2156N 
Work = 2156N * 3.10m 
work = 6683.6J 
b) Since he is holding the weights, it's not moving, therefore, he doesn't do any work 
c) The answer is still the same amount of work when he lifted them. 
d) The answer is no since when he let go the weight, he doesn't apply any force to the weight. 
e) P = work/time 
P = 6683.6J / 2.1s 
P = 3182.67 watts
