There is constriction made in a clinical thermometer, why?​

Physics
1 answer:
lesya [120]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The constriction in the thermometer is to prevent the mercury from dropping back to the bulb when the reading is being taken. ... It prevents the thermometric substance (Mercury or Alcohol) from running back into the bulb.

A parallel-plate vacuum capacitor has 8.38 J of energy stored in it. The separation between the plates is 2.30 mm. If the separa
Elanso [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

plate separation = 2.3 x 10⁻³ m

capacity C₁ = ε A / d

= ε A / 2.3 x 10⁻³

C₂ = ε A / 1.15 x 10⁻³

\frac{C_2}{C_1} = \frac{2.3}{1.15}

a ) when charge remains constant

energy = \frac{q^2}{2C}

q is charge and C is capacity

energy stored initially E₁= \frac{q^2}{2C_1}

energy stored finally E₂ = \frac{q^2}{2C_2}

\frac{E_1}{E_2} = \frac{C_2}{C_1} = \frac{2.3}{1.15}

E_2 = \frac{1.15}{2.3 } \times E_1

= \frac{1.15}{2.3 } \times 8.38

= 4.19 J

b )

In this case potential diff remains constant

energy of capacitor = 1/2 C V²

energy is proportional to capacity as V is constant .

\frac{E_2}{E_1} = \frac{C_2}{C_1}

\frac{E_2}{8.38} = \frac{2.3}{1.15}

E_2 = 16.76 .

What is mechanical energy​
netineya [11]

Explanation:  

In physical sciences, mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the macroscopic energy associated with a system. The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that if an isolated system is subject only to conservative forces, then the mechanical energy is constant. If an object moves in the opposite direction of a conservative net force, the potential energy will increase; and if the speed (not the velocity) of the object changes, the kinetic energy of the object also changes. In all real systems, however, nonconservative forces, such as frictional forces, will be present, but if they are of negligible magnitude, the mechanical energy changes little and its conservation is a useful approximation. In elastic collisions, the kinetic energy is conserved, but in inelastic collisions some mechanical energy may be converted into thermal energy. The equivalence between lost mechanical energy (dissipation) and an increase in temperature was discovered by James Prescott Joule.

31. Draw a free body diagram for a 15.5N box that is being pushed to the right with a 18. N force while experiencing 4.30 N of r
posledela

Answer:

See answers below

Explanation:

a.

F = mg,

15.5 N = m(9.8 m/s²)

m = 1.58 kg

b.

Fnet = Applied force - resistance,

Fnet = 18 N - 4.30 N,

Fnet = 13.70 N

Fnet = ma

13.70 N = (1.58 kg)a

a = 8.67 m/s²

For the free body diagram, draw a box with an upward arrow labeled 15.5 N, a downward label labeled 15.5 N, a right label labeled 18 N, and a left label labeled 4.30 N.

Can we use a clinical thermometer to measure the temperature of a candle flame​
miv72 [106K]

In theory, yes. The 2 problems are the materials used for clinical thermometers, & the temperature capacity of the clinical thermometer. If anything, change the material & extend the measurement threshold. At that point, it wouldn´t be used for clinical garbage anymore.
