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.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Ray of light when hits any specimen or object. The light is partially reflected, partially reflected and partially absorbed. It is never completed reflected, refracted or absorbed. Hence, the correct answer would be c.

An unknown substance has a mass of 0.125 kg and an initial temperature of 95.0°C. The substance is then dropped into a calorimet
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

c = 1163.34 J/kg.°C

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity:

"Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance per unit of mass. The specific heat capacity of a material is a physical property."

Use this equation:

mcΔT = ( mw c + mAl cAl )  ΔT'

Rearranging the equation to find the specific heat (c) you get this:

c = (( mw c + mAl cAl )  ΔT') / (mΔT)

c = (( 0.285 (4186) + (0.15)(900)) (32 -25.1)) / ((0.125) (95 - 32))

c = 1163.34 J/kg.°C

A particle with charge − 2.74 × 10 − 6 C −2.74×10−6 C is released at rest in a region of constant, uniform electric field. Assum
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

241.7 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Charge of particle=q=-2.74\times 10^{-6} C

Kinetic energy of particle=K_E=6.65\times 10^{-10} J

Initial time=t_1=6.36 s

Final potential difference=V_2=0.351 V

We have to find the time t after that the particle is released and traveled through a potential difference 0.351 V.

We know that

qV=K.E

Using the formula

2.74\times 10^{-6}V_1=6.65\times 10^{-10} J

V_1=\frac{6.65\times 10^{-10}}{2.74\times 10^{-6}}=2.43\times 10^{-4} V

Initial voltage=V_1=2.43\times 10^{-4} V

\frac{\initial\;voltage}{final\;voltage}=(\frac{initial\;time}{final\;time})^2

Using the formula

\frac{V_1}{V_2}=(\frac{6.36}{t})^2

\frac{2.43\times 10^{-4}}{0.351}=\frac{(6.36)^2}{t^2}

t^2=\frac{(6.36)^2\times 0.351}{2.43\times 10^{-4}}

t=\sqrt{\frac{(6.36)^2\times 0.351}{2.43\times 10^{-4}}}

t=241.7 s

Hence, after 241.7 s the particle is released has it traveled through a potential difference of 0.351 V.

What's the gravity?
poizon [28]

Answer:

gravity is the force by which a planet or another body draws objects towards its Centre. the force of gravity keeps all of the planets in an orbit around the sun.

Explanation:

what is gravity made of?

gravity are made of proposed gravity parts that are made quantum particles which called gravitational anywhere there is gravitation there is gravity like on Earth in the Solar System most importantly in the minisclue infant and intervention universe .
