A student is studying how the air pressure in a basketball depends on its temperature what measuring instruments are needed for this experiment?

To study how air pressure in a basketball changes with temperature, you will need a pressure gauge to measure the air pressure inside the basketball accurately. Additionally, you will require a thermometer to monitor the temperature of the basketball during the experiment.


What is the different between barometer and thermometer?

A barometer measures the barometric pressure of the atmosphere. This has to do with the relative humidity. The more moisture suspended in the air, the more it weighs. A weather thermometer measures the temperature of the air.


What is in a thermometer and a barometer?

A thermometer measures temperature - most are now electric but they used to have alcohol or mercury in them. A barometer measures air pressure - they are now electric but used to have air in them (in a bellows with a spring).


Why is my Galileo thermometer not working properly?

Your Galileo thermometer may not be working properly due to changes in temperature, air pressure, or if the liquid inside has separated. It is important to place the thermometer in a stable environment away from direct sunlight or drafts to ensure accurate readings.


If thermometer is placed in sun light then which thing it will read the temperature of air or of sun or surrounding?

A thermometer placed in sunlight will measure the temperature of the air surrounding it, not the temperature of the sun itself. The sun's rays can heat up the air, which in turn affects the temperature measured by the thermometer.

Thermometer is to air pressure as what is to air pressure?

You asked the question wrong. The analogy was : Thermometer is to Temperature as Barometer is to Air Pressure.A meteorologist uses his Barometer to measure pressure in millibars, very small changes in the atmosphere's pressure. He uses the Thermometer to measure the air Temperature.


How is a thermometer able to measure air?

a barometer is used to measure the air pressure, not a thermometer! A thermometer is used to measure the temperature.


A thermometer is to air temperature as a blank is to air pressure?

Does a thermometer tell you how warm the air is?

Yes! It sure does


Explain how a barometer and a thermometer are alike?

A thermometer and a barometer are alike, because a thermometer tells temperature, and a barometer tells air pressure. They sort off connect, because when you have lower air pressure, you get colder temperatures and when you have higher air pressure, you know then that the temperature will be hotter. You can kinda tell by looking at only one piece of data, what the other piece might be. I'm pretty sure that's right, I'm only in 7th grade.

Is a barometer used to measure temperature?

No, a barometer is used to measure air pressure, not temperature. Temperature is usually measured using a thermometer.


Why the mercury can not rise in a lab thermometer if there is air in glass tube?

Because the pressure of air may be greater than the pressure of the ascending Mercury.


What measures air pressure temperature humidity and wind?

a barometer measures air pressure. an anemometer measures wind speed. a thermometer measures temperature.

Why the mercury can not rise in a lab thermometer if there is air in the glass tube?

Mercury does not rise in a lab thermometer if there is air in the glass tube because the presence of air creates pressure within the tube that opposes the expansion of the mercury. Without a vacuum, the air pressure prevents the mercury from moving freely up the tube in response to changes in temperature.
