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.

A hollow sphere of inner radius 8.82 cm and outer radius 9.91 cm floats half-submerged in a liquid of density 948.00 kg/m^3. (a)
kari74 [83]

Answer:

a) 0.568 kg

b) 474 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given:

Inner radius = 8.82 cm = 0.0882 m

Outer radius = 9.91 cm = 0.0991 m

Density of the liquid = 948.00 Kg/m³

a) The volume of the sphere = \frac{4\pi}{3}\times(0.0991^2-0.0882^2)

or

volume of sphere = 0.0012 m³

also, volume of half sphere = \frac{\textup{Total volume}}{\textup{2}}

or

volume of half sphere = \frac{\textup{0.0012}}{\textup{2}}

or

Volume of half sphere =0.0006 m³

Now, from the Archimedes principle

Mass of the sphere = Weight of the volume of object submerged

or

Mass of the sphere = 0.0006× 948.00 = 0.568 kg

b) Now, density =  \frac{\textup{Mass}}{\textup{Volume}}

or

Density = \frac{\textup{0.568}}{\textup{0.0012}}

or

Density = 474 kg/m³

This is for physical science, need help :/

1).  From the frame of reference of a passenger on the airplane looking out of his window, the tree appears to be moving, at roughly 300 miles per hour toward the left of the picture.

2).  The SI unit best suited to measuring the height of a building is the meter.

3).  'Displacement' is the straight-line distance and direction from the start-point to the end-point, regardless of the path that was followed to get there.  

The ball started out in the child's hand, and it ended up 2 meters away from her in the direction of the wall.  So the displacement of the ball from the beginning to the end of the story is:  2 meters toward the wall.
