What physical property is being used when using a clinical thermometer to measure temperature?
Expansion of a fluid, usually mercury but alcohol (usually red colored) is used. Expansion of a metal (solid) in a bimetallic strip Change in electrical resistance - used in sensors Thermoelectric effect - ( thermocouples) Quartz crystal oscillator (Quartz crystal frequency varies slightly with temperature) Thermochromic liquid crystal - (in the strips that show different colors)
How can starting at a temperature below room temperature results in a final equilibrium temperature that is slightly warmer than room temperature?
Add a little heat.
Why does the temperature drop with increased elevation?
As we rise in the troposphere, the lowest division of the atmosphere, the temperature on the average falls at about 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit. This is called the dry adiabatic lapse rate and holds until we reach the stratosphere at about 8-10 miles at which point the temperature, which has cooled to about -60 degrees Celsius starts to rise again. The drop in temperature as we move up through the troposphere is primarily caused by the decreasing weight of the air in a column above the point we are measuring. Although the actual state of the atmosphere at any moment is very complex, the simplest thermodynamic model predicts that a small volume of air will expand slightly if it rises slightly. This expansion extracts energy from the air and thus is becomes slightly cooler. The same effect, namely expansion creating cooling and compression causing warming, is used in refrigerators.
What is the temperature for atmospheric conditions in the tertiary period?
warm and slightly clear
What is the surface temperature of omega?
The surface temperature of Omega varies slightly. On average, the maximum surface temperature is 760 degrees Celsius, which converts to 1400 degrees Fahrenheit.
When the temperature of ice cold water is increased slightly does it undergo a net expansion or net contraction?
net contraction
When the temperature of ice cold water is increased slightly dpoes it undergo a net expansion or net contraction?
Contraction for a few degrees Celsius.
Why a tightly fitting metal cap is opened by heating it slightly?
The metal cap has a high expansion coefficient when temperature rises. As it expands and the grip loosens.
Does water change into gas if atmospheric pressure is increased?
no it cannot but if the temperature is slightly increased over 6 C it will evaporate at a slow rate.
When a sealed thermos bottel ful of hot coffee is shaken then what are the changes?
as kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature therefore by shaking the bottle the K.E is increased its meant that there will be a slightly change in temperature occurs.
What is the Coefficient of thermal expansion of 316 stainless steel?
1.59 e-6/Deg C. and will vary slightly depending on Grades
Why do we pee when we laugh too much?
When we urinate, we lose a considerable volume of liquid away from the body. The volume of liquid (urine) shares the normal body temperature. When we lose urine, the body temperature drops slightly. The brain detects the slight drop of body temperature sending an impulse to regain normal body temperature through involuntary muscle contraction. The involuntary muscle contraction makes us 'giggle.' Muscle contraction produces heat to counter balance the lost temperature after urination.
What causes cracking noise in roofing sheets?
These sheets expand and contract continually depending on outside temperatures. They are also dependent on the wind factor as this cases slight movement as well. But in the greater degree its the expansion and contraction that makes the tiles move slightly causing the sound
Why is solid silver more dense than liquid silver?
When a solid is melted it keeps its mass. It's the VOLUME that is slightly different. The density of most solids decreases slightly as temperature increases because solids expand when heated. As the temperature of the Solid Silver increases the volume increases slightly, even before the silver melts. This is due to the increased vibration of the silver atoms.I LIKE EGGS!!! XD
Why the daimetr of rim round Tonga is made slightly smaller?
Well idiot its simple :)...its made slightly smaller because in hot season,Temperature goes very high and Iron rim round a Tonga expands...so in other words its due to thermal expansion...
