Why do we use mercury in thermometer​

Physics
1 answer:
viktelen [127]2 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.

D.) 5kg

This is a trick question. The mass of an object does not change based in location. However the weight of an object does change, this is because Weight = Mass × Gravity. Also mass is measured in kilograms and so the answer is 5 kg. So if you ever want to lose weight just go to the moon!

All sound waves need a(n) _______________________________________ to travel through. 4. _____________________ and ______________
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Material medium

compressions and rarefactions

Explanation:

A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave. All mechanical waves require a material medium for propagation. The medium for the propagation of sound is air. This is the reason why, if you cover your mouth, it will be difficult for another person to hear whatever you are saying.

Sound is also a longitudinal wave. Longitudinal waves are described in terms of compressions and rarefactions. Compressions refer to areas where air molecules crowd together while rarefactions refer to areas where the air molecules spread out.

​For the "determine data needs" activity of a project, the optimistic estimated duration is 10 days, the pessimistic estimated d
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

This is a PERT  (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) question and the expected duration of completing this activity can be solved using the formula below.

 Pert Expected Duration Estimate = ║Optimistic Duration + (4 x Most Likely Duration) + Pessimistic Duration║/6.

15 days = Most likely Activity Duration.

10 days = Optimistic Activity Duration

20 days = Pessimistic Activity Duration

Substituting these values, we will have

(10 +(4 X 15) +20)/6. The pert estimate is therefore calculated as 15 days

The expected duration of completing this activity = 15 days.

Capacitor 2 has half the capacitance and twice the potential difference as capacitor 1.What is the ratio Uc1/Uc2.
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

The energy stored in a capacitor is given by:

U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2

where

C is the capacitance

V is the potential difference

For capacitor 1, we have

U_1=\frac{1}{2}C_1V_1^2

Capacitor 2 has

C_2 = \frac{C_1}{2} (half the capacitance of capacitor 1)

V_2 = 2 V_1 (twice the potential difference of capacitor 1)

So the energy of capacitor 2 is

U_2=\frac{1}{2}C_2V_2^2=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{C_1}{2})(2V_1)^2=C_1 V_1^2

So, the ratio between the two energies is

\frac{U_1}{U_2}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}C_1 V_1^2}{C_1 V_1^2}=\frac{1}{2}
