An object which measures temperature?
A thermometer is an instrument used to measure temperature. It typically consists of a bulb containing a liquid (such as mercury or alcohol) that expands and contracts with temperature changes, which is then converted into a numerical temperature reading on a calibrated scale.
What do length volume mass weight density and temperature measure?
Length measures the distance between two points, volume measures the amount of space an object occupies, mass measures the amount of matter in an object, weight measures the force of gravity acting on an object, density measures how compact the matter in an object is, and temperature measures the degree of hotness or coldness of an object.
What is the definitions of liquid volume?
The liquid volume of an object is the amount of liquid (like water or oil) that the object (like a glass) can hold when completely filled.
What kind of energy measures temperature?
Thermal energy is the form of energy that measures temperature. It is the energy that comes from the motion of particles in matter, which determines the temperature of an object or substance.
Why shape is an important characteristic of a liquid?
It occupies space and takes the shape of the object it is filled in.
What measures the amount of matter in an object something like a liquid?
Ifs called mass!
Which thermometer measures the temperature on a surface?
An infrared thermometer measures the temperature on a surface by detecting the infrared energy emitted by the object. It is non-contact and can provide quick and accurate temperature readings from a distance.
What a thermometer measures?
A thermometer measures the temperature of an object or environment by detecting the thermal energy present. It typically does so by using either a mercury or digital sensor to provide a numerical readout in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius.
How does a thermometer indicate the temperature of an object?
The heat of the object heats the metal tip and heats the liquid inside (usually mercury) until it expands, thereby filling the thermometer. Various tests are performed to determine at what length is what temperature.
When the temperature of an object decreases what happens to the molecules?
In every liquid (with the exception of water) the molecules, when the temperature decreases, contract.
Why is it more difficult to measure temperature of a solid than a liquid?
You can insert a thermometer directly into a liquid, but not into a solid. You can fairly easily measure the surface temperature of a solid object, but that does not necessarily reflect the temperature inside.
Why the level of mercury should change at all when the bulb of the thermometer is brought in contact with another object?
The level of mercury changes in a thermometer when it comes in contact with another object because the temperature of the object affects the temperature of the mercury. Heat transfers between the object and the mercury, causing the mercury to expand or contract, which in turn changes its level in the thermometer.
