- give different readings (at the same temperature)

Why is it necessary to insulate the bulb on the thermometer went taking the superheat of an evaporator?
So you can get a correct reading
How do you tell how hot or cold something is?
use a thermometer.We can feel how hot or cold something is. However, sometimes things are just too hot or cold for us to feel safely. At other times we need to know exactly how hot or cold something is. When we need to measure temperature correctly we need to use an instrument called a thermometer. This measures temperature in degrees Celsius [sometimes called centigrade] or degrees Fahrenheit. There are different types of thermometers for different situations. A medical thermometer, for example, needs to be very accurate. It measures in fractions of degrees. When we are ill, even tiny changes in temperature are important. Some thermometers use a liquid that moves up a very fine glass tube. Most room thermometers, and outdoor thermometers are like this. The liquid is either mercury [ which is poisonous] or coloured alcohol. As liquids get warmer they expand [get bigger], and move up the tube. Water expands too, but not as much as alcohol and mercury. Thermometers that might be used by small children are not made of glass. They use a digital display which lights up the temperature. Inside the displays are chemicals that change colour according to the temperature.
What instrument measures how hot or cold something is?
A thermometer is an instrument that measures cold and heat, together with temperature variations.
What is the the unit measurement of a thermometer?
A standard thermometer has Fahrienhiet and Centigrade
How can you use the words inquiry and thermometer in one sentence?
I did not understand the nurse's inquiry as to what I had done with the thermometer. Will an inquiry be necessary to find that thermometer? A silent thermometer has no inquiry.
How do you explain why is hiring necessary and when?
Human Resource Management - Explain why is hiring necessary and when?
Are electronic thermometers more reliable than a standard thermometer?
Electronic thermometers and standard thermometers are equally accurate. In terms of reliability, the standard thermometer wins. Why? Because it doesn't have any batteries to go dead.
Explain how you would use a wet bulb thermometer and a dry bulb thermometer to find the relative humidity?
the wet bulb is cooler
Explain how an ordinary glass fever thermometer is designed?
By using glass.
Why is it necessary to warm the thermometer before placing it into the solutions?
The thermometer reading will change from reading the solution temperature.
Why is it necessary to use a calibrated thermometer?
This is important for making correct measurements.
Which scientists would have the LEAST use for a standard thermometer in their research?
astronomers
Explain the used of a maximum minimum thermometer is used?
i dont no just leave me alone
Explain how a barometer and a thermometer are not alike?
One measures temp other barometric press
Explain how the standard of care can be proven?
The standard of care can be proven by showing that the healthcare provider acted in a manner consistent with what a reasonable provider with similar training and expertise would do in the same or similar circumstances. This can be demonstrated through expert testimony, medical guidelines, protocols, and case law that establish the accepted practices and standards within the healthcare community. Additionally, the patient's medical records and any other relevant evidence can be used to show whether the standard of care was met.
