What is the difference between alcoholic and Mercury thermometer based on their function? ​

Physics

Alcohol filled thermometer is used for low temperature applications. (Weather) It’s freezing point is -70 degC
While mercury freezes at -38 deg C

Mercury is/was better for human and other animal temps. High thermal coefficient of expansion mercury vs. alcohol = better resolution for small temperature changes in a medical application.

For higher temperatures alcohol will boil before mercury will.

Find the speed of light in each of the following materials. (a) gallium phosphide m/s (b) carbon disulfide m/s (c) benzene
Oksanka [162]

Explanation:

We need to calculate the speed of light in each materials

(I). Gallium phosphide,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 3.50

Using formula of speed of light

v=\dfrac{c}{\mu}....(I)

Where, \mu = index of refraction

c = speed of light

Put the value into the formula

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{3.50}

v=8.6\times10^{7}\ m/s

(II) Carbon disulfide,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 1.63

Put the value in the equation (I)

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.63}

v=1.8\times10^{8}\ m/s

(III). Benzene,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 1.50

Put the value in the equation (I)

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.50}

v=2\times10^{8}\ m/s

Hence, This is the required solution.

If you run at 8m/s for 15 minutes how far will you go
sashaice [31]

Answer: 7200 m

Explanation: The solution is, first convert 15 minutes to seconds.

15 mins x 60 s / 1 min = 900 s

Use the formula for speed which is v= d/t then derive for d.

d = vt

= 8 m/s ( 900s)

= 7200 m

liubo4ka [24]

ANSWER:

d. remains a non-zero constant.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

If we consider that there is no air resistance and that the horizontal component would be at x, the velocity remains a non-zero constant

Which of these statements is correct about Newton's first law of motion?
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Answer D: It describes the relationship between motion and force.

Explanation:

The answer is D because a law is something that describes something in nature, but does not try to explain how or why is occurs (that is a theory). Options B and C sound more like theories, while option A sounds like a definition. Option D is correct because a law describes without explaining.

In a crossing situation, which vessel is required to maintain its course and speed?
makvit [3.9K]

Both in the domestic and international guidelines tell that when two power-driven vessels are crossing so as to contain risk of collision, the vessel which has the other on her starboard side (the give-way vessel) must keep out of the way.

If you are the give-way vessel, it is your responsibility to avoid a collision. Normally, this means you must change speed or direction to cross behind the other vessel which is the stand-on vessel.

At evening, when you perceive a red light crossing right-to-left in front of you, you need to change your course. But if you perceive a green light crossing from left-to-right, you are the stand-on vessel, and should maintain course and speed.

The leading situations of collision risk are meeting head-on, overtaking, and crossing. When one of two vessels is to keep out of the way (give-way vessel), the other, the stand-on vessel, must uphold course and speed.
