• greatest sensitivity:P greatest range:R

• greatest sensitivity:P greatest range:S

• greatest sensitivity:Q greatest range:R

• greatest sensitivity:Q greatest range:S

• measures temperatures above 1000 $\degree C$  :liquid-in-glass,  measures temperature that changes rapidly: thermocouple

• measures temperatures above 1000 $\degree C$  :thermocouple, measures temperature that changes rapidly:liquid-in-glass

Temperature is a measure of the...

• total energy in a substance
• total kinetic energy in a substance
• average potential energy in a substance
• average kinetic energy of molecules in a substance

Which of the following statements about the kinetic theory of gases is NOT true:

• All molecules move with the same speed.

• Their average kinetic energy is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.

• All molecules make elastic collisions with each other and the walls of the container.

• The molecules travel in straight lines until they collide.

How does a liquid-in-gas thermometer work?

• heat energy causes the liquid in the bulb to expand and rise up the tube

• heat energy causes the liquid in the bulb to contract and rise up the tube

• heat energy causes the liquid in the bulb to expand and fall down the tube

• heat energy causes the liquid in the bulb to contract and fall down the tube
