Complete question
A student measures the mass of a 1.0 kg standard bar. He obtains measurements of 0.77 kg, 0.78 kg, and 0.79 kg. Which describes his measurements
a)precise but not accurate
b)accurate but not precise
c)neither precise nor accurate
d)both precise and accurate
Answer:
The measurement is precise but not accurate
Explanation:
A measurement can either be precise or accurate.
- A Precise measurement describes how close the measured values are to each other.
- An accurate measurement describes how close a measured value is to the true value.
In this question, the measured values (0.77 kg, 0.78 kg and 0.79 kg) are far from the true value (1.0 kg), therefore the measurement is not accurate.
However, the measured values (0.77 kg, 0.78 kg and 0.79 kg) are close to each other, therefore the measurement is precise.
Therefore the correct option is 'a' the measurement is precise but not accurate
Answer:
<h2>20 kg</h2>
Explanation:
The mass of the rock can be found by using the formula
f is the force
a is the acceleration
From the question we have
We have the final answer as
<h3>20 kg</h3>

Gravity affects weight because gravity creates weight. Objects have mass, which is defined as how much matter an object contains. Weight is defined as the pull of gravity on mass.
<span>
The relation between weight and gravitational pull is such that, when on another celestial body, the difference in gravity would alter a person's weight. The Earth's moon, for example, has a gravitational field that is 0.165 times the pull on earth. A person who weighs 170 pounds on Earth would only weigh 28.05 pounds on the moon. This is why during the moon landing videos, people on earth viewed the astronauts taking large, bounding steps. With very little weight, it was easy for them to push off the ground.</span>
