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.

When Dr. Hewitt immerses an object in water the second time and catches the water that is displaced by the object, how does the
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

- The volume of water displaced by immersing the object is equal the amount of water spilled and caught by Dr. Hewitt.

- The amount of water is proportional to the volume of object of fraction of object immersed in water will lead to the same fraction of water displaced and caught by Dr. Hewitt.  

- When the object is immersed the force of Buoyancy acts against the weight and reducing the scale weight.

- The amount of Buoyancy Force is proportional to the fraction of Volume of object immersed in water; hence, the same amount is spilled/lost.

a water-balloon launcher with mass 4 kg fires a 0.5 kg balloon with a velocity of 3 m/s to the east. what is the recoil velocity
kotykmax [81]
I think we will use the law of conservation of linear momentum;
M1V1 = M2V2
M1 =  4 kg (mass of the water balloon launcher)
V1=?
M2= 0.5 kg ( mass of the balloon)
V2 = 3 m/s

Therefore; 4 V1 = 0.5 × 3
                   4V1= 1.5
                     V1= 1.5/4
                          = 0.375 m/s
