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.

Use Kepler's third law to find the planet's average distance (semimajor axis) from its star. (Hint: Because the mass of the star
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Explanation: The planet average distance = 42300km

Kepler's 3rd Law also known as the Harmonic Law states that;

for each planet orbitting the sun, its side real period squared divided by the cube of the semi-major axis of the orbit is a constant.

A planet, mass m, orbits the sun, mass M, in a circle of radius r and a period t. The net force on the planet is a centripetal force, and is caused the force of gravity between the sun and the planet.

A military helicopter on a training mission is flying horizontally at a speed of 90.0 m/s when it accidentally drops a bomb (for
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

1) 10.1 s  2) 909 m 3) 90.0 m/s 4) -99m/s 5) just over the bomb.

Explanation:

1)

  • In the vertical direction, as the bomb is dropped, its initial velocity is 0.
  • So, we can find the time required for the bomb to reach the earth, applying the following kinematic equation for displacement:

       \Delta y = \frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} (1)

  • where Δy = -500 m (taking the upward direction as positive).
  • a=-g=-9.8 m/s²
  • Replacing these values in (1), and solving for t, we have:

       t =\sqrt{\frac{2*\Delta y}{-g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*(-500m)}{-9.8m/s2}} = 10.1 s

  • The time required for the bomb to reach the earth is 10.1 s.

2)

  • In the horizontal direction, once released from the helicopter, no external influence acts on the bomb, so it will continue moving forward at the same speed. that it had, equal to the helicopter.
  • As the time must be the same for both movements, we can find the horizontal displacement just as the product of this speed times the time, as follows:

       x = v_{0x} * t = 90.0 m/s * 10.1 s = 909 m.

3)

  • The horizontal component of the bomb's velocity is the same that it had when left the helicopter. i.e. 90 m/s.

4)

  • In order to find the vertical component of the bomb's velocity just before it strikes the earth, we can apply the definition of acceleration, remembering that v₀ = 0, as follows:

        v_{f} = -g*t = -9.8 m/s2*10.1 s = -99 m/s

5)

  • If the helicopter keeps flying horizontally at the same speed, it will be always over the bomb, as both travel horizontally at the same speed.
  • So, when the bomb hits the ground, the helicopter will be exactly over it.
