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

1 answer:

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.

A projectile of mass 1.800 kg approaches a stationary target body at 4.800 m/s. The projectile is deflected through an angle of

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

P = 5.22 Kg.m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the projectile = 1.8 Kg

speed of the target = 4.8 m/s

angle of deflection = 60°

Speed after collision = 2.9 m/s

magnitude of momentum after collision = ?

initial momentum of the body = m x v

= 1.8 x 4.8 = 8.64 kg.m/s

final momentum after collision

momentum along x-direction

P_x = m v cos θ

P_x = 1.8 x 2.9 x cos 60°

P_x = 2.61 kg.m/s

momentum along y-direction

P_y = m v sin θ

P_y = 1.8 x 2.9 x sin 60°

P_y = 4.52 kg.m/s

net momentum of the body

$P = \sqrt{P_x^2 + P_y^2}$

$P = \sqrt{4.52^2 + 2.61^2}$

P = 5.22 Kg.m/s

momentum magnitude after collision is equal to P = 5.22 Kg.m/s

A 0.500-kg block, starting at rest, slides down a 30.0° incline with static and kinetic friction coefficients of 0.350 and 0.250

Leviafan [203]

Answer:x=23.4 cm

Explanation:

Given

mass of block $m=0.5 kg$

inclination $\theta =30$

coefficient of static friction $\mu =0.35$

coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu _k=0.25$

distance traveled $d=77.3 cm$

spring constant $k=35 N/m$

work done by gravity+work done by friction=Energy stored in Spring

$mg\sin \theta d-\mu _kmg\cos \theta d=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$mgd\left ( \sin \theta -\mu _k\cos \theta \right )=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$0.5\times 9.8\times 0.773\left ( \sin 30-0.25\cos 30\right )=\frac{35\times x^2}{2}$

$x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 0.5\times 9.8\times 0.773(\sin 30-0.25\times \cos 30)}{35}}$

$x=0.234 m$

$x=23.4 cm$

Does gravity increase or decrease with greater distance?

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Decrease. Gravity is stronger here on earth than on the moon.
