A mercury thermometer is used to measure the temperature of boiling water.Why?​

Physics
1 answer:
Rama09 [41]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

It has very high density, so a small bulb of a thermometer can contain much mercury. Mercury remains liquid state over a quite wide range of temperature because it freezes at 39°C and boils at 357°C.

The weakest type of friction that occurs between solid surfaces is _____ friction
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Static, sliding, and rolling friction occur between solid surfaces. Static friction is strongest, followed by sliding friction, and then rolling friction, which is weakest. Fluid friction occurs in fluids, which are liquids or gases.

In terms of saturation (unsaturated, saturated, super-saturated). How would you classify the following?
miskamm [114]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>1. A NaCl solution with a concentration of 50g/100mL of water at 40°C:</em> The NaCl solution with a given concentration is saturated at this temperature .As the temperature increases the solution will more dissolves.

<em>2. A sugar solution with a concentration of 200g/100mL of water at 40°C: </em>The sugar solution with a given concentration is saturated at this temperature. As the temperature increases the solution will more dissolves.

<em>3. A sugar solution with a concentration of 240g/100mL of water at 40°C:</em> The sugar solution with a given concentration is saturated at given temperature.

A gymnast of mass 62.0 kg hangs from a vertical rope attached to the ceiling. You can ignore the weight of the rope and assume t
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

a) T = 608.22 N

b) T = 608.22 N

c) T = 682.62 N

d) T = 533.82 N

Explanation:

Given that the mass of gymnast is m = 62.0 kg

Acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.81 m/s²

Thus; The weight of the gymnast is acting downwards and tension in the string acting upwards.

So;

To calculate the tension T in the rope if the gymnast hangs motionless on the rope; we have;

T = mg

= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s²)

= 608.22 N

When the gymnast climbs the rope at a constant rate tension in the string is

= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s²)

= 608.22 N

When the gymnast climbs up the rope with an upward acceleration of magnitude

a = 1.2 m/s²

the tension in the string is  T - mg = ma (Since acceleration a is upwards)

T = ma + mg

= m (a + g )

= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s² + 1.2  m/s²)

= (62.0 kg) (11.01 m/s²)

= 682.62 N

When the gymnast climbs up the rope with an downward acceleration of magnitude

a = 1.2 m/s² the tension in the string is  mg - T = ma (Since acceleration a is downwards)

T = mg - ma

= m (g - a )

= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s² - 1.2 m/s²)

= (62.0 kg)(8.61 m/s²)

= 533.82 N
