How do you increase accuracy in a liquid in glass thermometer?
There are several ways:use a liquid whose coefficient of thermal expansion is near constant,use a liquid with low vapour pressure,use a bulb with a relatively larger bulb and thinner stem,calibrate the thermometer carefully.
What is a dual probe thermometer?
this is a thermometer that can work twice as much as a normal thermometer or a thermometer that can check the temperature of two things at the same time
What is the difference between a chocolate thermometer and a regular thermometer?
A chocolate thermometer and a regular thermometer differ from each other by its size and sturdiness. The chocolate thermometer are much bigger than the regular thermometer so that it can withstand the extreme heat. The normal thermometer can withstand less heat than the other one.
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.
What objects would you use to describe an increase in volume?
what object would you use to describe an increase in volume? 1. a wooden box with holes 2. a rock and a cup of water 3. ice in a glass and a thermometer 4. a soccer ball and a pump
How could a bicycle manufacturer increase responsiveness through its facilities?
A bicycle manufacturer can increase responsiveness through its facilities via location of the facility, size of the facility and the degree of flexibility to accommodate the changing demands of the bicycles in the market.If there is a close proximity between the market and the facility and between the facility and the suppliers location, there is a high responsiveness for the bicycle manufacturer.
How do you edit FS9 to increase responsiveness of aircraft to turns during taxi?
have you tried differential braking?
How does the temperature increase on a thermometer?
it gets hotter
Why does a mercury-in-glass laboratory thermometer have a narrow capillary bore?
To increase the sensitivity of the thermometer, that is, for the thermometer to respond quickly to small changes in temperature.
How do you increase the range of a thermometer?
If you're the one designing the thermometer, you could make it longer or make the bore wider. If you've got an existing thermometer, there's not much you can do.
What happens if you place a thermometer in any wavelength of visible spectrum?
Depending on the intensity of the light the thermometer should indicate an increase in temperature.
What happens to the values as you move up the left side a min thermometer?
They Increase.
What is external responsiveness?
external responsiveness is to meet the demands of the market.
Why do economists use percentages rather than absolute amounts in measuring the responsiveness of consumers to changes in price?
first, if we use absolute changes, the choice of units will arbitrarily affect our impression of buyer responsiveness. exp. measure particular price decline in dollars or pennies. second, by using percentages, we can correctly compare consumer responsiveness to changes in the prices of different products. we can more sensibly compare the consumer responsiveness to price increases by using some common percentage increase in price for both
Why does alcohol in a thermometer rise?
Alcohol in a thermometer rises whenever the temperature of its surrounding increases. As the temperature increases, the heat causes the alcohol to expand ever so slightly, which shows up as an increase of height of the alcohol in the tube of the thermometer.
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 is the processes by which the liquid in a thermometer or sections of a sidewalk increase in volume at a higher temperature?
thermal expantion
