A slope-intercept form equation is when it is set up y=mx+b. Y = - 3x + 2. In order to go from one form to another, all you have to do is change the order of the given numbers.
A mercury switch (also known as a mercury tilt switch) is a switch which opens and closes an electrical circuit through a small amount of liquid mercury.Contents.he envelope may also contain air, an inert gas, or a vacuum. Gravity is constantly pulling the drop of mercury to the lowest point in the envelope. When the switch is tilted in the appropriate direction, the mercury touches a set of contacts, thus completing the electrical circuit through those contacts.
Overview. Mercury is a transition metal. A transition metal is one of the elements found between Groups 2 (IIA) and 13 (IIIA) on the periodic table. The periodic table is a chart that shows how chemical elements are related to one another.Mercury has long been known as quicksilver, because it is a silver liquid.ercury is the only liquid metal. In fact, there is only one other liquid element, bromine. Bromine is a non-metal. Mercury can be frozen (changed into a solid) at a temperature of â38.85Â°C (â37.93Â°F). It can be changed into a gas (boiled) at 365.6Â°C (690.1Â°F). Its density is 13.59 grams per cubic centimeter.
