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 2-kg ball is moving with a speed of 4 m/s, and a 4-kg ball is moving with a speed of 2 m/s. What can you conclude about the of
Mila [183]
<h2>Kinetic energy of mass 4 kg ball is less than kinetic energy of mass 2 kg ball</h2>

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = 0.5 x Mass x Velocity²

For ball of mass 2 kg

           Mass, m = 2 kg

           Velocity, v = 4 m/s

           Kinetic energy = 0.5 x 2 x 4² = 16 J

For ball of mass 4 kg

           Mass, m = 4 kg

           Velocity, v = 2 m/s

           Kinetic energy = 0.5 x 4 x 2² = 8 J

Kinetic energy of mass 4 kg ball is less than kinetic energy of mass 2 kg ball

In order to slide a heavy desk across the floor at constant speed in a straight line, you have to exert a horizontal force of 80
notka56 [123]
The hint is "constant speed". 
If there is a net force on an object, what occurs to that object? F net = m*a.... It accelerates! 
So, if the desk is going at a CONSTANT speed, what does that tell you about the acceleration? There is a change in speed. 
Fnet = m*a Since a = 0 Fnet = 0 
Fnet = sum of the force... reflect the direction of F as the positive direction. Sum of the forces in the direction of F = 0 0 = F - friction F = friction 
So, if F = 800 N, then friction = 800 N in the opposite direction.

Convert 9.83 m/s with a radius of 0.85 m to rotations per minute (rpm)
marissa [1.9K]

Answer: Conversion of 9.83 m/s with a radius of 0.85 m into rotations per minute (rpm) is 99.25 m^{-1}.

Explanation:

Given: Speed = 9.83 m/s

Convert m/s into m/minute as follows.

1 min = 60 sec\\9.83 m/s = 9.83 m/s \times \frac{60 s}{1 min}\\= 529.8 m/min

Radius = 0.85 m

Now, rotations take place in circular motion. So, the circumference of a circle is 2 \pi r.

Therefore, circumference is calculated as follows.

Circumference = 2 \times pi \times r\\= 2 \times 3.14 \times 0.85 m\\= 5.338 m

Formula used to calculate rotations per minute (rpm) are as follows.

rpm = \frac{speed (in meter per minute)}{circumference}\\= \frac{529.8 m/min}{5.338 m}\\= 99.25 m^{-1}

Thus, we can conclude that conversion of 9.83 m/s with a radius of 0.85 m into rotations per minute (rpm) is 99.25 m^{-1}.
