What is the opposite of 15 degrees?
The opposite of 15 degrees, in terms of angles on a circle, is 195 degrees. This is found by adding 180 degrees to 15 degrees, resulting in 15 + 180 = 195 degrees. In a broader context, the term "opposite" might also refer to the concept of negative in temperature, which would be -15 degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Who invented the thermometer?
The Greeks had simple thermometers in the first century BC. Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) Italian physicist, invented a basic air thermometer. Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736) was the German physicist who invented the alcohol thermometer in 1709, and the mercury thermometer in 1714. In 1724, he introduced the temperature scale that bears his name - Fahrenheit Scale. The Celsius scale, invented by Swedish Astronomer Anders Celsius (1701-1744), has 100 degrees between the freezing point (0 C) and boiling point (100 C) of pure water at sea level air pressure. The Celsius temperature scale is also referred to as the "centigrade" scale. Centigrade means "consisting of or divided into 100 degrees". The term "Celsius" was adopted in 1948 by an international conference on weights and measures.
How many degrees celsius is 73 degrees kelvin?
To convert from degrees Celsius to Kelvin, add 273.15. Therefore, 73 K is 346.15 degrees C. Incidentally, Kelvin is an absolute scale, so the term "degree" is dropped from the units.
How many minutes is in 10 degrees?
To convert degrees to minutes, you need to know the context in which the term "degrees" is being used. If you are referring to angles, there are 60 minutes in 1 degree. Therefore, 10 degrees would be equal to 600 minutes. However, if you are referring to temperature, where 1 degree is equivalent to 60 minutes, then 10 degrees would be equal to 600 minutes as well.
What does the term acute angle mean?
An acute angle is a geometry term that refers to an angle that is less than 90 degrees. If it is 90 degrees it is a right angle, and if it is more than 90 it is obtuse.
