Answer:
It has very high density, so a small bulb of a thermometer can contain much mercury. Mercury remains liquid state over a quite wide range of temperature because it freezes at 39°C and boils at 357°C.
Explanation:
Answer:
The pressure will be transmitted equally to all other parts of the confined fluid causing a general increase in pressure throughout the container.
Explanation:
This is in line with pascal's law of pressure which states that the pressure exerted on a given mass of fluid is transmitted undiminished to other parts of the fluid.
Answer: v = 0.6 m/s
Explanation: <u>Momentum</u> <u>Conservation</u> <u>Principle</u> states that for a collision between two objects in an isolated system, the total momentum of the objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the objects after the collision.
Momentum is calculated as Q = m.v
For the piñata problem:


Before the collision, the piñata is not moving, so
.
After the collision, the stick stops, so
.
Rearraging, we have:


Substituting:

0.6
Immediately after being cracked by the stick, the piñata has a swing speed of 0.6 m/s.
