Section of two thermometers are shown. The thermometer on the left is labeled A and the thermometer on the right is labeled B. T

hermometer labeled A has markings forty degrees, forty five degrees, and fifty degrees at equal intervals. The thermometer labeled B has markings forty degrees, forty five degrees, and fifty degrees at equal intervals and there are four small markings equally spaced in between the numbers.Which statement explains which thermometer is more appropriate to measure the temperature of a liquid at 43.6 °C?
a. Thermometer A, because it measures temperature more accurately than B.

b. Thermometer B, because it measures temperature more accurately than A.

c. Thermometer A, because it measures temperature more precisely than B.

d. Thermometer B, because it measures temperature more precisely than A.

Answer : The correct option is, (b) Thermometer B, because it measures temperature more accurately than A.

Explanation :

Accuracy : It is defined as the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.

For Example: If the mass of a substance is 50 kg and one person weighed 48 kg and another person weighed 55 kg. Then, the weight measured by first person is more accurate.

Precision : It is defined as the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.

For Example: If you weigh a given substance five times and you get 1.8 kg each time. Then the measurement is said to be precise.

Level of precision is determined by the maximum number of decimal places.

As per question, the thermometer B has markings 40°, 45° and 50° at equal intervals and there are four small markings equally spaced in between the numbers and thermometer B has markings 40°, 45° and 50° at equal intervals but there is no small markings equally spaced in between the numbers. That means, thermometer B is measures temperature more accurately than thermometer A.

Hence, correct option is, (b) Thermometer B, because it measures temperature more accurately than A.

A jet airliner moving initially at 889 mph
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

1500 mph

Explanation:

Take east to be +x and north to be +y.

The x component of the velocity is:

vₓ = 889 cos 0° + 830 cos 59°

vₓ = 1316.5 mph

The y component of the velocity is:

vᵧ = 889 sin 0° + 830 sin 59°

vᵧ = 711.4 mph

The speed is found with Pythagorean theorem:

v² = vₓ² + vᵧ²

v² = (1316.5 mph)² + (711.4 mph)²

v = 1496 mph

Rounded to two significant figures, the jet's speed relative to the ground is 1500 mph.

Antonina throws a coin straight up from a height of
vichka [17]

Answer:

s=vt-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Explanation:

We could use the following suvat equation:

s=vt-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

s is the vertical displacement of the coin

v is its final velocity, when it hits the water

t is the time

g is the acceleration of gravity

Taking upward as positive direction, in this problem we have:

s = -1.2 m

g=-9.8 m/s^2

And the coin reaches the water when

t = 1.3 s

Substituting these data, we can find v:

v=\frac{s}{t}+\frac{1}{2}gt=-\frac{1.2}{1.3}+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(1.3)=-7.3 m/s

where the negative sign means the direction is downward.

A heavy rope, 80 ft long and weighing 32 lbs, hangs over the edge of a building 100 ft high. how much work w is done in pulling
allochka39001 [22]
The first thing you should know for this case is that work is defined as the product of force by the distance traveled in the direction of force.
 We have then:
 W = Fd
 The distance varies, so we must integrate:
 from 0 to 20:
 W = ∫F (x) dx
 W = ∫32xdx
 W = 32∫xdx
 W = 32 (x ^ 2/2) = (16) (20 ^ 2) = 6400 ft * lbs
 answer:
 6400 ft * lbs is work done pulling the rope up 20 ft
