Best Answer

The amount that a thimble will hold -- about 1/2 teaspoon. It is not used for an exact measure. It's just a way to saying "very little".

Of course. Consider a teaspoonful of ice and a teaspoonful of lead.That's the thing about 'density' ... the thing that makes it such a useful concept: Density is a descriptionof the substance, and has nothing to do with the volume of the sample. A thimbleful and a supertankerfulof the same substance have the same density.

Why would water in a 100cm3 and water a 10cm3 cylinder measure the same temperature?

Because they are the same temperature. There are more calories of heat in a 100-ml sample of water that's at a certain temperature than there are in a 10-ml sample that's the same temperature...but 20-degree-Celsius water is 20-degree-Celsius water whether you have a thimbleful, a glassful or a swimming pool full.

How many teaspoon per cup?

a thimble is a device placed on the end of the finger to prevent poking oneself with a needle. They come in various sizes to fit different sized fingers. a thimbleful is an imaginary amount typically, poetically used to denote a tiny amount of liquid, slightly more than a drop but certainly not enough to whet one's thirst. A specific amount cannot be ascribed to a thimbleful, however it is most certainly closer in approximation to a teaspoon than to a cup.

Do all kinds of mosquitoes carry disease germs?

Mosquitoes are typically smaller than a shirt button, but they can pose big health risks. More than 200 species are found throughout North America, some of which can transmit West Nile virus and other viruses that cause encephalitis, or swelling of the brain.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 19,500 cases of West Nile have been reported in the United States, including more than 750 deaths, since the virus was first identified in New York in 1999. Serious symptoms of West Nile virus can include high fever, headache, neck stiffness, disorientation, convulsions, vision loss and paralysis; and the disease can even be fatal.Furthermore, mosquitoes cause major health problems internationally by carrying and transmitting infectious agents that cause diseases such as malaria, elephantiasis, and yellow and dengue fevers."Not only are mosquitoes dangerous, but they're also annoying, ranking among the most frequently encountered pests in American homes," says Frank Meek, entomologist and Technical Director for Orkin, Inc. "It is important to protect yourself and your family against mosquitoes, especially in summer and early fall, when populations are most prevalent."Fortunately, 90 percent of Americans realize that mosquitoes are capable of spreading disease and adversely impacting health, according to a recent survey released by Orkin, Inc. Armed with this knowledge, homeowners should proactively follow these tips to help protect against mosquito populations thriving in and around their homes:• When outdoors, apply an EPA-approved insect repellant on clothing and exposed skin.• During prime mosquito-biting hours of dusk to dawn, wear long sleeves and pants in addition to repellant, or consider staying indoors.• Make sure screens on windows and doors fit tightly and have no holes.• Remember, mosquitoes only need a thimbleful of water to breed and survive, so eliminate breeding sites by emptying standing water from objects around the home, including flowerpots, buckets, tire swings and children's wading pools. Change the water in pet dishes and birdbaths regularly.Controlling mosquito populations can be difficult, but professional help is available through Orkin, the only national pest control provider offering treatment services against these dangerous pests.
