Why do we use mercury in thermometer​

Physics
1 answer:
viktelen [127]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Mercury is the only one in liquid state at room temperature. It's used in thermometers because it has high coefficient of expansion.  It also has a high boiling point which makes it very suitable to measure higher temperatures. Also, it has a shiny appearance and doesn't stick to the glass surface of glass.

4. ________ have a positive charge
xz_007 [3.2K]

A proton has positive charge of 1, that is, equal but opposite to the charge of an electron. A neutron, like the name implies, is neutral with no net charge. The charge is believed to be from the charge of the quarks that make up the nucleons (protons and neutrons).

Find the final velocity of a car that accelerates at +2 m/s2 for +4m from an
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

according to third equation of motion

2as=vf²-vi²

vf²=2as+vi²

vf=√2as+vi²

vf=√2as+vi

vf=√2*2*4+3

vf=√16+3

vf=4+3=7

so final velocity is 7 m/s

In an Atwood machine the two masses (m1 =5.0kg and m2 = 3.0 kg) are released from rest, with m1 at a height of h=0.75 m above th
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

m₁ is heavy so it will go down and m₂ will go up. Let common acceleration be a .

For downward acceleration of m₁

m₁g - T₁ = m₁a

For upward acceleration of m₂

T₂- m₂g = m₂a

adding

m₁g - T₁ +T₂- m₂g = (m₁+m₂)a

m₁g- m₂g  +(T₂- T₁) = (m₁+m₂)a  --------------- ( 1 )

For rotatory motion of disc of mass mp and moment of inertia I

(T₁ -T₂ )R = I α , α is angular acceleration ----------( 2 )

From  1 and 2

m₁g- m₂g -  I α / R = (m₁+m₂)a

m₁g- m₂g -  I a / R² = (m₁+m₂)a

m₁g- m₂g = (m₁+m₂)a + I a / R²

m₁g- m₂g = [(m₁+m₂) + mp k² / R² ] a   ( k is radius of gyration of disk )

a = (m₁- m₂)g / [(m₁+m₂) +mp k² / R² ]

=  (m₁- m₂)g / [(m₁+m₂) + .5 mp  ]  ( for cylinder k² / R² = .5 )

If h be the height by which m₁ falls and its velocity becomes v

v² = 2 a h

a = v² / 2h

v² / 2h = (m₁- m₂)g / [(m₁+m₂) + .5 mp  ]

v²[(m₁+m₂) + .5 mp  ] = 2(m₁- m₂) gh

- v²[(m₁+m₂) +2(m₁- m₂) gh =  .5 mp v²

- v²[(m₁+m₂) +2(m₁- m₂) gh / .5 v ² = mp .

- 1.8² ( 5 + 3 ) + 2 ( 5 - 3 ) 9.8 x .75 / .5 x 1.8² = mp

- 25.92 + 29.4 / 1.62 = mp

2.15 kg = mp .

K.E  of masses = 1/2 x 5 x 1.8² + 1/2 x 3 x 1.8²

= 12.96 J

Rotational KE of disc

= 1/2 I ω²

= 1/4 mp r²ω²

= 1/4 x mp x v²

= .25 x 2.15 x 1.8²

= 1.74 J

in percent terms

(1.74 / 12.96) x 100

= 13.5 %
