Answer:

To minimize the practical errors and improve the accuracy.

Explanation:

  • Scientists take several measurements and use the average of all the measured values to minimize the practical errors due to unavoidable circumstances and be close to the true value.
  • True value is the actual value of a measured parameter without any error, it is the value which is proposed in the design of a certain object.
  • Variations may occur in the measurement due to wear and tear, dust and air pressure. It is almost impossible to create ideal surrounding for the measurement procedure.

In what ways would organisms living in very deep water need to be specialized?
Nady [450]

Organisms living in great depths of water bodies like oceans and lakes need to be adapted for two (2) things especially; high water pressure and vision in darkness

The water column above from deep in the water can cause lots of hydrostatic pressure on the organisms’ cells. Also the fact that light cannot penetrate to great depth of water due to diffusion means the organisms must live in darkness.

Explanation:

It has been shown that cells from Piezophile bacteria have a high percentage of fatty acids in their membranes to prevent the cells from compacting solid from the high pressure.

Most of the organisms are also detritivores and use chemosynthesis for the autotrophs because light cannot reach these depths and hence photosynthesis is not possible.  Organisms with eye vision are adapted to high wavelength light that can at least reach greater depths before diffusing. Nonetheless natural selection would favour use of sight for most organisms in this benthic region.

If vector A=2i+3j-k and vector B=4i+6j-2k. The angle between them will be: a) 0°b)45°c)90°d)60°​
melomori [17]

Notice that

<em>B</em> = 4<em>i</em> + 6<em>j</em> - 2<em>k</em> = 2 (2<em>i</em> + 3<em>j</em> - <em>k</em>) = 2<em>A</em>

so both vectors point in the same direction and the angle between them is (A) 0°.
