Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

1) Liquid in glass thermometer: This type of thermometer is used primarily to measure the temperatures from inspection of changes in volume of liquid.

Thermometry substance is mercury or alcohol

2) Gas thermometer: This type is used to measure temperature as a result of changes in gas pressure or volume.

Thermometry substance is Gas.

3) Resistance thermometer: This type is used to measure temperature due to changes in electric resistance.

Thermometry substance is Resistance wire.

4) Thermocouple thermometer: This type is used to measure the temperature due to changes in electrical potential difference occurring between two metal junctions.

Thermometry substance is two wires that are dissimilar.

5) Bimetallic thermometer: This is a type of thermometer that measures temperature by converting temperature into mechanical displacement by making use of Bimetallic strip.

Thermometry substance is two metals that are dissimilar.

A 500kg car is driven forward with a thrust force of 1500N. Air resistance and friction acts against the motion of the car with

Wittaler [7]

2m/s^2, this is because F=ma, meaning a is also equal to F/m. The car applies 1500N in one direction and outside sources apply a total of -500N, meaning the 500kg car is moving forward with a total of 1000N of force. Taking the total 1000N and dividing it by 500kg gives you and acceleration of 2m/s^2. Hope this helps!

As an interstellar cloud of hydrogen gas shrinks in size, its rate of rotation

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

INCREASES, BECAUSE ITS ANGULAR MOMENTUM IS CONSERVED.

Explanation: Interstellar cloud of Hydrogen is an accumulation of Hydrogen gas in the cloud.

As the Interstellar cloud of Hydrogen shrinks (reduces) in size,the rate of rotation of the shrinked Interstellar cloud Increases because its angular momentum is conserved. GASEOUS MOLECULES MAKE UP ABOUT 99% OF THE INTERSTELLAR CLOUD WITH HYDROGEN HAVING ABOUT 90% OF THE VOLUME OF GASES IN THE INTERSTELLAR CLOUD.

A 120 resistor a 60 ohm resistor and a 40 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to a 120 volt power source. what is the current

larisa [96]

Answer:

6 A

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit. The three resistors are connected in parallel, so their equivalent resistance is given by:

$\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}=\frac{1}{120 \Omega}+\frac{1}{60 \Omega}+\frac{1}{40 \Omega}=\frac{3+2+1}{120 \Omega}=\frac{6}{120 \Omega}\\R_T = \frac{120}{6} \Omega$
