What is a android barometer?
An aneroid barometer, invented by the French 19th century engineer and inventor Lucien Vidie, uses a small, flexible metal box called an aneroid cell. This aneroid capsule (cell) is made from an alloy of beryllium and copper. The evacuated capsule (or usually more capsules) is prevented from collapsing by a strong spring. Small changes in external air pressure cause the cell to expand or contract. This expansion and contraction drives mechanical levers such that the tiny movements of the capsule are amplified and displayed on the face of the aneroid barometer.
Will an inert gas expand and contract with temperature?
It will contract.
What type of chemical is used to cause a pressure change in a bellows type thermostat?
A bellows-type thermostat typically uses a volatile liquid or gas as the chemical that causes pressure changes. Common substances include refrigerants or specialized liquids that expand and contract with temperature fluctuations. As the temperature changes, the substance changes its phase or pressure, causing the bellows to expand or contract, which activates the thermostat mechanism to regulate temperature.
Occurrence of the balloon when taken out of ice bath?
When a balloon that was inflated in an ice bath is taken out into a warmer environment, the air inside the balloon will warm up and expand. This expansion increases the pressure inside the balloon, causing it to expand and possibly burst if the pressure becomes too high. This is because gases expand when heated and contract when cooled.
Oil expand or contract when heated?
Oil does expand when heated and contracts when cooled.
Why partially evacuated chamber is used in aneroid barometre?
A partially evacuated chamber is used in an aneroid barometer because changes in atmospheric pressure will cause the flexible chamber to expand or contract, which is then measured and indicated on the barometer dial. This mechanism allows the aneroid barometer to measure variations in air pressure without the need for a liquid-filled chamber like in a traditional mercury barometer.
Why can an aneroid barometer measure elevation as well as air pressure?
An aneroid barometer measures air pressure using a flexible metal chamber that expands or contracts based on changes in air pressure. As elevation increases, the air pressure decreases, causing the metal chamber to expand. By calibrating the device, the change in chamber size can be used to estimate the change in elevation.
Why does Mercury stay in the barometer?
A barometer is a closed-system vacuum that allows the mercury to expand with changes in temperature and pressure.
Can gases expand or contract?
Yes, gases can both expand and contract. When heated, gases expand as the molecules move more rapidly, increasing the pressure and volume. Conversely, when cooled, gases contract as the molecules slow down, decreasing the pressure and volume.
Why do veins dilate?
Veins contract and expand in response to blood pressure.
What is an airtight instrument composed of thin sheets of metal used to measure air pressure?
An aneroid barometer is an airtight instrument composed of thin metal sheets that measure air pressure by responding to changes in atmospheric pressure, causing the metal sheets to expand or contract. It is commonly used to monitor and forecast weather conditions.
Why do stars expand and contract in size?
Stars expand and contract in size due to the balance between gravitational forces pulling inwards and internal pressures pushing outwards. When nuclear fusion in the core of a star produces energy, it creates an outward pressure that can cause the star to expand. As the star's core exhausts its fuel, the outward pressure decreases, causing the star to contract under its own gravity.
Will the center of a tornado expand or contract a bag of potato chips?
Since tornadoes generate low pressure a sealed bag would expand inside of one.

Does matter expand or contract when it is heated?
Expand
A star will not expand nor contract when the force of gravity holding it together equals the pressure of pushing it apart?
Fusion and Radiation
Why does atmospheric pressure not crush our lungs?
Atmospheric pressure does not crush our lungs because the pressure inside our bodies is equal to the pressure outside. This balance allows our lungs to expand and contract without being crushed.
