A hot cup of coffee will cool down at a certain rate, but as the coffee cools, the rate at which it cools slows down. This is why a "lukewarm" cup of coffee cools down so slowly. Even though the warm cup of coffee is cooling down quicker at first, the lukewarm cup essentially has a "head start" on the way to room temperature.

Nothing.


Why does the ambient temperature need to be measured before and after the?

You measure the ambient temperature before the experiment in case the experiment is sensitive to ambient temperature. You want to record all of the environmental factors that might affect the experiment before starting it. You measure the ambient temperature after the experiment for the same reason, and also in case the experiment affected the ambient temperature. Depending on the experiment, environmental factors may need to be considered when analyzing the results.

What characteristics must a liquid have before it can be used in a thermometer?

One thermometric property that is required is that it must vary linearly with temperature. In liquid-in-glass thermometers, the length of the liquid thread is often used to determine temperature. Thus when temperature increases, the liquid must expand uniformly with temperature, so that it can be used to measure temperature accurately.


What are the fuctions of moderator and controller in nuclear reactor?

moderator, slows fast fission neutrons to thermal (near room temperature) energies rapidly enough to prevent their capture by uranium-238 before they can participate in the chain reaction and fission uranium-235control, remove excess neutrons so as to hold the reactor at exactly critical at all times, permit control of increases and decreases of operating power level

What temperature is lukewarm?

Just a little bit above cold, somewhere around body heat. Body heat is 98.6°F or 37.0°C. So lukewarm would fall roughly somewhere between 79 - 97 °F or 26 - 36°C.

At room temperature, bacteria (which are everywhere, even in your water) multiply very rapidly, so be wary of water that's been sitting for more than a few hours, particularly if uncovered.
