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.

Jason applies a force of 4.00 newtons to a sled at an angle 62.0 degrees from the ground. What is the component of force effecti
Andreas93 [3]
Answer: 1.88 N

Explanation:

Data:

Force = 4.00N
angle = 62°
horizontal force = ?

Solution:

The trigonometric ratio that relates horizontal - leg to hypotenuse is the cosine.

That ratio is:

                        horizontal - leg
cos(angle) = -------------------------
                          hypotenuse

So, applied to the force, that is:

                             horizontal force
cos (angle) = -----------------------------------
                                 total force

So, clearing the horizontal component you get:
                                         
horizontal force = force * cos (angle)

Substitute the data given:

horizontal force = 4.00N * cos(62°) = 4.00N * 0.4695 = 1.88 N

Answer: 1.88N

A golfer imparts a speed of 30.3 m/s to a ball, and it travels the maximum possible distance before landing on the green. the te
sergey [27]

<u>Answer:</u>

a) Time spend by ball in air = 4.368 seconds

b)   Longest hole that golfer can make = 93.59 meter

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Projectile motion has two types of motion Horizontal and Vertical motion.

Vertical motion:

         We have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

         Considering upward vertical motion of projectile.

         In this case, Initial velocity = vertical component of velocity = u sin θ, acceleration = acceleration due to gravity = -g m/s^2 and final velocity = 0 m/s.

        0 = u sin θ - gt

         t = u sin θ/g

    Total time for vertical motion is two times time taken for upward vertical motion of projectile.

    So total travel time of projectile = 2u sin θ/g

Horizontal motion:

  We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

  In this case Initial velocity = horizontal component of velocity = u cos θ, acceleration = 0 m/s^2 and time taken = 2u sin θ /g

 So range of projectile,  R=ucos\theta*\frac{2u sin\theta}{g} = \frac{u^2sin2\theta}{g}

a) We have golf ball travels maximum distance, so range is maximum.

                 Maximum range is when, sin 2θ =1

                             =>  θ = 45⁰

    Now we have travel time of projectile, t =  2u sin θ/g  

          Initial velocity = 30.3 m/s and  θ = 45⁰

                     So time spend in air, t = \frac{2*30.3*sin45}{9.81} =4.368 seconds

 b) Longest hole that golfer can make = Range of projectile = \frac{u^2sin2\theta}{g}

      Longest hole that golfer can make = \frac{30.3^2sin(2*45)}{9.81}=93.59 meter

Imagine that there is a small rocky body caught by Earth’s gravity. Draw a comic-strip cartoon to illustrate its journey as it t
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

To create this comic strip you can use a narration describing each step and illustrate each one with one image or drawing.

Creating a comic strip involves using images and short texts to explain a specific idea or phenomenon. In the case of the process for a meteor to enter Earth you can use the following ideas.

A meteoroid approaches the Earth at high speed and draw a meteor traveling near to different planets and approaching Earth.

What is that? and draw the Earth wondering who or what is approaching.

The meteoroid enters the atmosphere of the Earth and becomes a meteor and draw the rocky body burning

The rocky body crashes with the surface becoming a meteorite and draw the zone where the meteorite crashed.
