Answer:
1.The kink in the clinical thermometer prevents the mercury of the thermometer from falling back down to the starting point of thermometer.
2.The range of the Fahrenheit scale in the clinical thermometer is from 94°F to 108°F.
3. Heat is an energy that flows from a hot body to a cold body via three process(convection, conduction and radiation.)
4.Temperature is the measure of hotness of an object.
5. a liquid that conducts heat is mercury.
6.The transfer of heat takes place through three ways-
- conduction
- convection
- radiation
7.CONDUCTION- conduction is the process through which heat is transferred in a solid object. It takes place properly in conductors of heat like iron rod.
8. It takes place through convection.
