Chapter 21, Problem 6A
What is meant by saying that a thermometer measures its own temperature?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To Explain: Thermometer measures it own temperature.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Temperature indicates how hot or cold is a body. It can be measured using a thermometer. Heat always flows from a body which has higher temperature to the one which lower temperature as compared to the former until both the bodies have the same thermal energy or one can say temperature. Two bodies having same temperature are said to be in thermal equilibrium.
When thermometer is placed in contact with the body, heat flows from body into it which raises its temperature unit both the body and the thermometer are in thermal equilibrium. Thus, one can say that thermometer measures its own temperature.

- You are working with a team that is designing a new roller coaster-type amusement park ride for a major theme park. You are present for the testing of the ride, in which an empty 150 kg car is sent along the entire ride. Near the end of the ride, the car is at near rest at the top of a 100 m tall track. It then enters a final section, rolling down an undulating hill to ground level. The total length of track for this final section from the top to the ground is 250 m. For the first 230 m, a constant friction force of 370 N acts from computer-controlled brakes. For the last 20 m, which is horizontal at ground level, the computer increases the friction force to a value required for the speed to be reduced to zero just as the car arrives at the point on the track at which the passengers exit.
