How can you increase the sensitivity of a Mercury thermometer?​

Physics
1 answer:
elena55 [62]3 years ago

<em>The sensitivity of a mercury thermometer can be increased by using a smaller mercury bulb, thinner wall and smaller bore. A smaller bulb contains less mercury and hence absorbs heat in shorter time. As a result it can response faster to temperature change.</em>

A satellite, moving in an elliptical orbit, is 368 km above Earth's surface at its farthest point and 164 km above at its closes
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

a) 6636 km

b) 0.0154

Explanation:

The height above the earth at its furthest point is 368 km

The height above the earth at its closest point is 164 km

Radius of the Earth is 6370 km

The distance of the satellite from the center of the earth to the furthest point is 6370 + 368 km = 6738 km

The distance of the satellite from the center of the earth to the closest point is 6370 + 164 = 6534 km

If we add together the sum of the distance of the satellite from the furthest and its closest distance, it is equal to the 2 major semi axis.

Basically,

2a = R + r

a = (R + r) / 2

a = (6738 + 6534) / 2

a = 13272 / 2

a = 6636 km

Eccentricity, e = (a - r) / a

Eccentricity, e = (6636 - 6534) / 6636

Eccentricity, e = 102 / 6636

Eccentricity, e = 0.0154

If a baseball pitch leaves the pitcher's hand horizontally at a velocity of 150 km/h by what percent will the pull of gravity ch
Slav-nsk [51]
<span>0.52% First, let's convert that speed into m/s. 150 km/h * 1000 m/km / 3600 s/h = 41.667 m/s Now let's see how much time gravity has to work on the ball. Divide the distance by the speed. 18 m / 41.667 m/s = 0.431996544 s Now multiply that time by the gravitational acceleration to see what the vertical component to the ball's speed that gravity adds. 0.431996544 s * 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.233566131 m/s Use the pythagorean theorem to get the new velocity of the ball. sqrt(41.667^2 + 4.234^2) = 41.882 m/s Finally, let's see what the difference is (41.882 - 41.667)/41.667 = 0.005159959 = 0.5159959% Rounding to 2 figures, gives 0.52%</span>

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

#_photon = 5 10²⁰ photons / s

Explanation:

For this exercise let's calculate the energy of a single quantum of energy, use Planck's law

         E = h f

         c= λ f

         E = h c / λ

          λ= 1000 nm (1 m / 109 nm) = 1000 10⁻⁹ m

Let's calculate

          E₀ = 6.6310⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/1000 10⁻⁹

          E₀ = 19.89 10⁻²⁰ J

This is the energy emitted by a photon let's use a proportions rule to find the number emitted in P = 100 w

                #_photon = P / E₀

               #_photon = 100 / 19.89 10⁻²⁰

              #_photon = 5 10²⁰ photons / s
