Q:

For accurate scientific work, temperatures are often measured by

A) mercury thermometers B) alcohol thermometers
C) platinum resistance thermometers D) thermoelectric thermometers
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) platinum resistance thermometers

Explanation:

The resistance of metallic conductors e.g, platinum, increases with rise of  temperature . The increase in temperature results in a decrease of current which can be recorded in a galvanometer if the conductor is included in an electrical circuit. Thus the temperature can be known; platinum resistance thermometer is used generally for accurate scientific work. When two dissimilar metals are joined at the ends, and these ends are subjected to a difference of temperature, a current flows through the metals. Greater the difference of temperature , greater the current. So the curent strength can form the basis for measuring the difference in temperature. And when one of these temperatures is known, we can calculate the other.

A) continue going upwards uninterrupted B) reach a particular height and remain floating
C) burst after reaching some height D) reach a particular height and start coming down
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) reach a particular height and remain floating

Explanation:

It will stop at a height where the weight of the balloon with contents is equal to the weight of air displaced by it, i.e , when the upthrust is equal to the downthrust. The question of bursting will depend on how much difference of pressure inside and outside , the material of the balloon can withstand. It is assumed the balloon is filled with a lighter than air gas like hydrogen or helium.
