D. thermometer. The warmer it gets, the more energy the particles gain and the more they move and 'expand', rising up the thermometer.

The correct answer to the question is : D) Thermometre

EXPLANATION:

Thermometre is the device used for measuring the temperature of any substance.

Thermal expansion is the process in which the substance will expand when heat is given to that substance. Thermometre is based on the property of thermal expansion.

Generally, the substance that is used in thermometre is mercury. It expands at a fast rate when a little bit of heat is given to the thermometre.

When the thermometre is connected to any body, the heat will flow from body at high temperature to thermometre. The mercury level rises in the thermometre tube which gives the temperature of that substance under consideration.

Hence, it is the thermometre which is based on thermal expansion.

Art [367]
The outside observer, at rest relative to the spaceship, would see the spaceship
get shorter. and the clocks on the spaceship run slower than they should.

At the same time, the crew of the spaceship, looking back at the observer on
Earth, would see the observer on Earth get shorter, and the observer's clock
run slower than it should.

They would both be measuring what they see correctly.

Which relations below regarding magnetic field and electric field lines are true? 1. Magnetic field lines never begin nor end bu
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Options 1 and 5 are correct

Explanation:

Magnetic field lines can never cross, the field is unique at any point in space. Magnetic field lines are continuous, forming closed loops without beginning or end. They go from the north pole to the south pole.

Magnetic field lines form closed loops but do not intersect.

Electric field lines originate at the positive charges and terminate at the negative charges. They move in a straight line and are parallel. Electric field lines neither form closed loops nor intersect.

Since, magnetic field lines form closed loops and move from North to South pole, they come out of north poles outside the magnet and into north poles inside the magnet, they also go into south poles outside the magnet and out of south poles inside the magnet.
