Most appropriate unit of measurement should be centimetres, cm.

Answer:

Centimeter (cm)

Explanation:

A student performs an experiment and must measure the lengths of four different objects: a textbook, a pencil, a cup, and a piece of bread.

There are so many units of measuring length of an object like centimeter, millimeter, kilometer etc. Some of units are used to measure very large distances (i.e. the distance between sun and earth etc ) are light year, astronomical units etc.

In this case, a textbook, a pencil, a cup, and a piece of bread are small object. The most appropriate unit of measurement for her to use is centimeter or cm.

What new tool did geologists use to estimate the changing flow rates of lava over the duration of this eruption? Hint: The answe
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Option b, pothographs from drones.

Explanation:

the USGS (U.S. Geological Survey) decided to make photographic captures from drones to the volcanic surfaces, which allowed through observations to understand things like the characteristics of the lava, the height of the volcanic plumes (among others).

What information and measurements would you need to calculate the rate of movement?
aliina [53]
When you talk about rate, you will expect that it will be in terms of a time unit. It measures how fast it is going. So, you would expect that the denominator is in time units. For the movement, you can measure this with either distance or velocity.

So, for the first variety, you would need distance and time to measure the rate of how far you go at a certain time. It is also called as velocity. For the second variety, you would need velocity and time to measure the rate of how fast you are going at a certain interval. It is also called as acceleration.

Potassium is a crucial element for the healthy operation of the human
Degger [83]

Answer:

1

  The mass of the Potassium-40 is  m_{40}} = 2.88*10^{-6} kg

2

  The Dose per year in Sieverts is   Dose_s = 26.4 *10^{-10}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The isotopes of potassium in the body are Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium- 41

    Their abundance is 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728%

   The mass of potassium contained in human body is  m = 3.0 g = \frac{3}{1000} = 0.0003 \ kg per kg of the body

    The mass of the first body is  m_1 = 80 \ kg

Now the mass of  potassium  in this body is mathematically evaluated as

       m_p =  m * m_1

substituting value

       m_p =  80  * 0.0003

      m_p  =0.024 kg

The amount of Potassium-40 present  is mathematically evaluated as

      m_{40}} =0.012% * 0.024

      m_{40}} = \frac{0.012}{100}  * 0.024

      m_{40}} = 2.88*10^{-6} kg

The dose of energy absorbed per year is mathematically represented as

          Dose  = \frac{E}{m_1}

Where E is the energy absorbed which is given as E = 1.10 MeV = 1.10 * 10^6 * 1.602*10^{-19}

    Substituting value

            Dose  = \frac{ 1.10 * 10^6 * 1.602*10^{-19}}{80}

            Dose  = 22*10^{-10} J/kg

The Dose in Sieverts is evaluated as

       Dose_s = REB * Dose

       Dose_s = 1.2 * 22*10^{-10}

       Dose_s = 26.4 *10^{-10}

If a sled has a mass of 4kg what is the force of gravity on the sled?
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Explanation:

Gravity pulls everything down at the same rate of 9.8 m/s/s. If you're looking for the normal force, which is the same as the weight of the object, we'll find that, just in case.

w = mg which says that the normal force/weight of an object is equal to its mass times the pull of gravity:

w = 4.0(9.8) so

w = 39N

A particular form of electromagnetic radiation has a frequency of 5.42x10^15 Hz. What is the wavelength is nanometers? meters?
zubka84 [21]
Electromagnetic radiation are represented in waves. Each type of wave has a certain shape and length. The distance between two peaks in a wave is called the wavelength. This value is equal to the speed of light divided by the frequency.
Wavelength = c/f
Wavelength = 3x10^8 / <span>5.42x10^15
</span><span>Wavelength = 5.54 x 10^-8 m = 55.35 nm</span>
