Answer:

“Measurement” is the act of determining a target's size, length, weight, capacity, or other aspect. There are a number of terms similar to “measure” but which vary according to the purpose (such as “weight,” “calculate,” and “quantify.”) In general, measurement can be understood as one action within the term “instrumentation.”

Explanation:

• To show measured results using values and symbols. • To use measurement tools. Measuring a target can be done through either direct measurement or indirect measurement. An Indirect measurement is done, for example, by using a dial gauge to measure the height difference between a measurement target and a gauge block and using that height to indirectly determine the target's height. Because this type of measurement is based on a reference, indirect measurement is also referred to as “comparative measurement.

An ”Direct measurement is measurement done by bringing the target into contact with the measurement system to read the length, height, or other aspect directly. Although direct measurement allows measurement results to be known as they are, errors may occur depending on the skill of the person doing the measurement.

ANSWER

Mass: The resistance of an object to acceleration, size-dependent

Volume: The amount of space an object occupies

Boiling point: The temperature at which a liquid boils and turns to vapor.

Melting point: The temperature at which a solid melts and turns to liquid

Density: Size-independent

Solubility: The ability of a substance (solvent) to dissolve when placed in a liquid (solute)

Magnetism: Size-dependent

EXPLANATION:

Mass: the more mass something has, the harder it is to accelerate. This is somewhat intuitive, but is also demonstrated in newton's third law. It's size-dependent because for an object of a given density, the size (volume) will change the mass.

Volume: big objects take up more space. If you put an apple in bucket filled to the brim with water, a little water will splash out, because the apple is now occupying the space that the water used to, but if you put in a watermelon, a lot of water will splash out, because the watermelon is taking up even more space.

Boiling point: when a liquid gets too hot, it will change to gas (example: water to steam)

Melting point: when a liquid gets too cold, it will change to a solid (example: water to ice)

Density: how much mass there is in a given volume. A sphere made of lead will have more mass than a sphere made of wood, even if they are the same size. Size-independent because a big lead sphere has the same density as a small lead sphere, they just have different masses.

Solubility: some substances dissolve in certain solvents, other's don't.

Magnetism: size-dependent because a bigger magnet is stronger than a smaller one if they are identical in every other way. More space means more domains means a stronger magnet.

PLEASE HELPPPPPPPP<br> What is the average velocity of a train that goes 86 km in 1.3 hours?

olga_2 [115]

The answer is:

V = d/t d = 86 km t = 1.3 hrs

V = 86 km/ 1.3 hrs

V = 66.15 km/ hrs
