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.

2. A slide. Instead of throwing down an item, It uses gravitational potential energy make an object "move" down the slide.

3.A screw. It's reducing the force by twisting the screw out of something instead of pulling it out. (Sorry about my bad grammar).

Is distance traveled by a moving train qualitative discrete continuous or na?
butalik [34]
Continuous. Discrete values are values like 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. - they're values that are <em>distinct</em>, and typically there's some idea of a <em>next </em>and a <em>previous </em>value. When we're counting whole numbers, there's a definitive answer to which number comes after, and which number comes before. With continuous values, there's no real "next" or "last" value.

Motion is measured with <em>continuous </em>values; a train might move 300 yards in 1 minute, but we can look at smaller and smaller chunks of time to keep getting shorter and shorter distances. There is no <em />"next" distance the train moves after those 300 yards - it just doesn't make sense for there to be.

It's also measured <em>quantitatively</em>, not <em>qualitatively</em>. This just means that we can use numerical values to measure it, rather than other descriptors like color, smell, or taste.
