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 cat runs at 2 m/s for 3 s and then slows to a stop with an acceleration of 0.80 m/s2. What is
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

see that the correct one is B

Explanation:

To solve this exercise let us use the kinematic relations

           v² = v₀² - 2 a x

as they indicate that the car stops, therefore the final speed is yield v = 0

          x = v₀² / 2a

let's calculate

          x = 2²/(2 0.8)

         x = 2.5 m / s²

When reviewing the answers we see that the correct one is B

How are intensity sound and energy related
zubka84 [21]
Sound is a form of energy in that it consists fluctuations of air pressure . The speed of the fluctuations is measured in cycles per second or Hertz (HZ)

Intensity is how large the fluctuations are, also known as amplitude and for the sound the unit is decibels of sonic pressure level (dB SPL)

Which of the following statements are true?
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

A) True. Voltmeters measure voltages

C) True. They are placed in parallel

E) True ammeters are used to measure current

Explanation:

The devices for voltage measurement are the voltmeter and ammeter

Voltmeters have very high intense resistance and are placed in parallel

The ammeters have very small resist and are placed in series

Based on this establishment, let's analyze the statements

A) True. Voltmeters measure voltages

B) False has high intense resistance

C) True. They are placed in parallel

D) False ammeters are placed in series

E) True ammeters are used to measure current

F) False ammeters have a low internal resistance
