Physics

Wewaii [24]3 years ago

The formation ice sheets cause the Earth's surface to sink so much that when the ice melts, the crust and mantle does not rebound.

Explanation:

The above-mentioned statement is the only false statement

During the Ice ages, large continental parts were covered under thick ice sheets. This imposed a superincumbent additional load on the Earth's crust.

Isostasy refers to the balance that exists between parts of Earth's mantle and crust.  Isostatic adjustments are a common phenomenon.  As a result of isostatic adjustments, several parts of the world have risen by as much as 900 feet as an adjustment to superincumbent load since ice ages. E.g. Parts of Scandinavian countries have witnessed these activities and also undergoing this process.

Why can't we say a measurement tool is accurate?
sashaice [31]

There are various reasons why a measurement tool cannot be accurate. One of them is thermal contraction and expansion varies according to seasons.

<h3>What are Accuracy and Precision?</h3>

There are two ways to assess observational error: accuracy and precision. Precision measures how closely two measurements are to one another, whereas accuracy measures how close a group of measurements is to its actual value. In other words, precision is a measure of statistical variability and a description of random errors.

We can say that a tool can be precise, but it cannot be accurate. There are various reasons behind that, some of them are :

  • It may not be calibrated properly. If there are no reliable standards to use for calibration, this may occur.
  • Perhaps it strayed. This is why electronic scales include a tare function—they are terrible in this area.
  • Perhaps the measurements are not linear. Our calipers might have been quite precise at the 2-inch standard, where they were calibrated, but inaccurate at other dimensions.
  • Temperature is one environmental component that the instrument might be sensitive to. These effects might be compensated for, but the compensation might not be ideal. This issue affects both dissolved solids meters and picometers.

These are some of the reasons due to which measurement tool cannot be accurate.

How does the nuclear charge relate to the energy of the 1s orbital?
nlexa [21]

Explanation:

Effective nuclear charge is defined as he net positive charge experienced by an electron in an atom. It is termed "effective" because the shielding effect of electrons prevents higher orbital electrons from experiencing the full nuclear charge of the nucleus due to the repelling effect of inner-layer electrons.

The 1s is the closest shell to the nucleus of an therefore maximum nuclear charge is experienced. The formula for effective nuclear charge is:

Zeff = Z – S

where

Z = the number of protons in the nucleus, and

S = the shielding constant, the average number of electrons between the nucleus and the electron.

Hence, the energy required to remove an electron from the 1s orbital is the strongest.

avanturin [10]
1000 miles = 1 609 340 m
2 weeks = 1209 600 s
v = 1609340/1209600 = 1.33 m/s
