Which property of mercury, make it a good material to use in a thermostat

A33.1 g copper object is launched from a 1.5 m 30° steel incline positioned on the floor by being pulled up a string attached to a 50.0 g mass suspended vertically over a pulley. the object is projected towards a glass table where it lands when it is at the point along its trajectory with the lowest speed. it comes to a halt when it clears the opposite edge of the table. it then falls and lands on 9 physics texts each 5 cm thick that are stacked on the floor on the opposite side of the table. assume that the table does not have a ledge and the rectangular object experiences 0.05 n of air resistance as it falls towards the books. how far and how long did the object travel and how fast does it hit the books. assume that at the moment the copper object leaves the incline, the massless string and ideal pulley break off

In the sport of parasailing, a person is attached to a rope being pulled by a boat while hanging from a parachute-like sail. a rider is towed at a constant speed by a rope that is at an angle of 15 ∘ from horizontal. the tension in the rope is 1900 n. the force of the sail on the rider is 30∘ from horizontal. what is the weight of the rider? express your answer with the appropriate units.

(science)study the following ocean currents map. an ocean currents map is shown. on the map the locations for san diego, california and savannah, georgia are marked. there is a looping current from the north past san diego and a looping current from the south near savannah which statement is most likely correct about the average temperatures in san diego, california as compared to savannah, georgia? it is higher in savannah because of the cool ocean currents from the south. it is higher in savannah because of the warm ocean currents from the north. it is lower in san diego because of the warm ocean currents from the south. it is lower in san diego because of the cool ocean currents from the north.
