What is a mass hung from a fixed point so that it can swing freely?
a pendulum
What is the term for the bar that pivots at a fixed point of a lever?
fulcrum ----> Is MpK
What is scientific movement?
It is the process of a change in position relative to some fixed point of reference.
What are two ways that solutes affect the properties of solvent?
Solutes lower the freezing point and raise the boiling point of a solvent! :)
What is the effect of soluble volatile substance on the boiling point of a water solution?
A soluble volatile substance will lower the boiling point of a solution. The volatile substance will boil at a lower temperature than the water component, thus causing the solution to boil at a lower temperature.
General statement can you make about degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius?
1. The degrees are of different sizes. 2. The lower fixed point of Celsius is the freezing point of water, that of Fahrenheit is lower. Likewise the upper fixed point of Fahrenheit is quite low, but that of Celsius is higher, at the boiling point of water.
What is the temperature taken as lower fixed point in Celsius scale?
The two main fixed points in the Celsius scale are: Zero degrees the freezing point of water and 100 degrees its boiling point. Any temperature below freezing are minus values, the lowest being -273 degrees absolute zero the point where everything stops.
What determines the upper and lower fixed points of a thermometer?
Upper fixed point is the temperature of pure water boiling at normal atmospheric pressure.Lower fixed point is the temperature of a mixture of pure ice and pure water at normal atmospheric pressure. Each thermometer has a scale containing an upper and lower fixed points depending on the use of this thermometer for specific measurements.
What is the effect of mineral impurities of the upper and lower fixed point of a mercury-in-glass thermometer?
Why do you use pure ice in determining a lower fixed point of a thermometer?
If ice contains any other dissolved material, the freezing point of the mixture would be lower than the freezing point of pure water or ice.
Why upper fixed point and lower fixed point are not 100 degree celsius and 0 degree celsius respectively of pure water in kathmandu?
The boiling point of water is dependent upon air pressure, and in Nepal, the high altitiude results in low air pressure.
The center of a circle is a example of what?
A point. In fact it is fixed point and the locus of all points, in a plane that is a fixed distance from that fixed point defines the circle.
What is the fixed point on a lever that does not move?
The fulcrum is the fixed part of a lever. (the pivot point)
What lever rotates around a fixed point?
A lever is a stiff structure that rotates around a fixed point. The fixed point around which a lever rotates is fulcrum.
What is a fixed point that you use to draw a circle is called as?
The fixed point that is located in the center of a circle and is used as the guiding point to draw it is called the "point of origin".
Circle and its elements?
A circle is the locus of a point which moves such that its distance from a fixed point is constant. .The fixed point is centre and fixed distance is radius of circle. Elements of circle are centre, radius and circumference.
Is there a fixed point in space?
No, there is not.
