Why mercury is preferred over alcohol in thermometer

Physics
1 answer:
kondor19780726 [428]4 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.

The aqueous humor in a person's eye is exerting a force of 0.242 N on the 1.21 cm2 area of the cornea. What pressure is this in
Virty [35]

Answer:

<h2><em>15.00124mmHg</em></h2>

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as the ratio of force applied to an object to its area.

Pressure = Force/Area

Given parameters

Force = 0.242N

Area = 1.21cm²

Required parameters

Pressure = 0.242/1.21

Pressure = 0.2N/cm²

Using the conversion to convert the pressure to mmHg

1N/cm² = 75.0062mmHg

0.2N/cm² = y

y = 0.2 * 75.0062

y = 15.00124mmHg

<em>Hence the pressure in mmHg is 15.00124mmHg</em>

what are the common elements that make up series and parallel circuits , and how are circuits diagrammed?​
Ahat [919]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

A series circuit occurs when the elements are connected along a simple path so the same current flows through all the elements. On the other hand, a parallel circuit occurs when there are two or more paths for the electricity to flow. The diagram are shown in the Figure below. We have chosen a source and resistors to illustrate this problem.

A projectile is launched at ground level with an initial speed of 54.5 m/s at an angle of 35.0° above the horizontal. It strikes
Alchen [17]
<h2>Answer: x=125m, y=48.308m</h2>

Explanation:

This situation is a good example of the projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which we have two components: x-component and y-component. Being their main equations to find the position as follows:

x-component:

x=V_{o}cos\theta t   (1)

Where:

V_{o}=54.5m/s is the projectile's initial speed

\theta=35\° is the angle

t=2.80s is the time since the projectile is launched until it strikes the target

x  is the final horizontal position of the projectile (the value we want to find)

y-component:

y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}   (2)

Where:

y_{o}=0  is the initial height of the projectile (we are told it  was launched at ground level)

y  is the final height of the projectile (the value we want to find)

g=9.8m/s^{2}  is the acceleration due gravity

Having this clear, let's begin with x (1):

x=(54.5m/s)cos(35\°)(2.8s)   (3)

x=125m   (4)  This is the horizontal final position of the projectile

For y (2):

y=0+(54.5m/s)sin(35\°)(2.8s)-\frac{(9.8m/s^{2})(2.8s)^{2}}{2}   (5)

y=48.308m   (6)  This is the vertical final position of the projectile
