What makes a clinical thermometer suitable for measuring small changes in body temperature? *
Nana76 [90]

Answer: Because of the fine bore of the tube.

Explanation:

Temperature is the degree of hotness and coldness. And thermometer is the instrument use to measure temperature.

The two most common types of themometric fluids for thermometer are alcohol and mercury.

What makes a clinical thermometer suitable for measuring small changes in body temperature is because of the fine bore of the tube which makes it possible for small temperature changes to cause large changes in the length of mercury columns, making the thermometer very sensitive to temperature changes.

The most prominent feature of the thermometer is the kink or constriction of bore near the bulb.

One peice of evidence that the universe is expanding
AnnyKZ [126]
Who Figured This Out? The American astronomer Edwin Hubble made the observations in 1925 and was the first to prove that the universe is expanding. He proved that there is a direct relationship between the speeds of distant galaxies and their distances from Earth. This is now known as Hubble's Law.

The carbon isotope 14C is used for carbon dating of archeological artifacts. 14C(mass 2.34×10−26kg) decays by the process known
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

2240.92365 m/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of electron = 9.11\times 10^{−31}\ kg

v_1 = Speed of electron = 5.7\times 10^7\ m/s

p_2 = Neutrino has a momentum = 7.3\times 10^{-24}\ kg m/s

M = total mass = 2.34\times 10^{-26}\ kg

In the x axis as the momentum is conserved

Mv_x=m_1v_1\\\Rightarrow v_x=\dfrac{m_1v_1}{M}\\\Rightarrow v_x=\dfrac{9.11\times 10^{−31}\times 5.7\times 10^7}{2.34\times 10^{-26}}\\\Rightarrow v_x=2219.10256\ m/s

In the y axis

Mv_y=p_2\\\Rightarrow v_y=\dfrac{p_2}{M}\\\Rightarrow v_y=\dfrac{7.3\times 10^{-24}}{2.34\times 10^{-26}}\\\Rightarrow v_y=311.96581\ m/s

The resultant velocity is

R=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}\\\Rightarrow R=\sqrt{2219.10256^2+311.96581^2}\\\Rightarrow R=2240.92365\ m/s

The recoil speed of the nucleus is 2240.92365 m/s

A power plant produces 1000 MW to supply a city 40 km away. Current flows from the power plant on a single wire of resistance 0.
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Current = 8696 A

Fraction of power lost = \dfrac{80}{529} = 0.151

Explanation:

Electric power is given by

P=IV

where I is the current and V is the voltage.

I=\dfrac{P}{V}

Using values from the question,

I=\dfrac{1000\times10^6 \text{ W}}{115\times10^3\text{ V}} = 8696 \text{ A}

The power loss is given by

P_\text{loss} = I^2R

where R is the resistance of the wire. From the question, the wire has a resistance of 0.050\Omega per km. Since resistance is proportional to length, the resistance of the wire is

R = 0.050\times40 = 2\Omega

Hence,

P_\text{loss} = \left(\dfrac{200000}{23}\right)^2\times2

The fraction lost = \dfrac{P_\text{loss}}{P}=\left(\dfrac{200000}{23}\right)^2\times2\div (1000\times10^6)=\dfrac{80}{529}=0.151

What is the longest wavelength of light that will emit electrons from a metal whose work function is 3.70 eV
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

h f = Wf + K

where the total energy available is h f, Wf is the work function or the work needed to remove the electron and K is the kinetic energy of the removed electron

If K = zero then hf = Wf

Wf = h f = h c / λ    or

λ = h c / Wf = 6.63E-34 * 3.0E8 / (3.7 * 1.6E-19)

λ = 6.63 * 3 / (3.7 * 1.6) E-7 = 3.36E-7

This would be 3360 angstroms or 336 millimicrons

Visible light = 400-700 millimicrons
