Explanation:

Things you need to know:

Accuracy refers to the maximum error encountered when a particular observation is made.

Error in measurement is normally one-half the magnitude of the smallest scale reading.

Because one has to align one end of the rule or device to the starting point of the measurement, the appropriate error is thus twice that of the smallest scale reading.

Error is usually expressed in at most 1 or 2 significant figures.

Tape

Equipment: It is made up of a long flexible tape and can measure objects or places up to 10 – 50 m in length. It has markings similar to that of the rigid rule. The smallest marking could be as small as 0.1 cm or could be as large as 0.5 cm or even 1 cm.

How to use: The zero-mark of the measuring tape is first aligned flat to one end of the object and the tape is stretched taut to the other end, the reading is taken where the other end of the object meets the tape.

Ruler

Equipment: It is made up of a long rigid piece of wood or steel and can measure objects up to 100 cm in length. The smallest marking is usually 0.1 cm.

How to use: The zero-end of the rule is first aligned flat with one end of the object and the reading is taken where the other end of the object meets the rule.

Vernier Caliper

Equipment: It is made up of a main scale and a vernier scale and can usually measure objects up to 15 cm in length. The smallest marking is usually 0.1 cm on the main scale.

It has:

a pair of external jaws to measure external diameters

a pair of internal jaws to measure internal diameters

a long rod to measure depths

How to use: The jaws are first closed to find any zero errors. The jaws are then opened to fit the object firmly and the reading is then taken.

Micrometer Screw Gauge

Equipment: It is made up of a main scale and a thimble scale and can measure objects up to 5 cm in length. The smallest marking is usually 1 mm on the main scale (sleeve) and 0.01 mm on the thimble scale (thimble). The thimble has a total of 50 markings representing 0.50 mm.

It has:

an anvil and a spindle to hold the object

a ratchet on the thimble for accurate tightening (prevent over-tightening)

How to use: The spindle is first closed on the anvil to find any zero errors ( use the ratchet for careful tightening). The spindle is then opened to fit the object firmly (use the ratchet for careful tightening) and the reading is then taken.

The total momentum of the system has to be conserved to satisfy the principle of conservation of momentum. Before the ball hits the bottle, the momentum of the system is 0.4 x 18 = 7.2 kg m/s

The momentum of the bottle after being hit is 0.2 x 25 = 5 kg m/s

So the momentum of the ball now is 7.2 - 5 = 2.2 kg m/s

Hence its velocity is 2.2/0.4 = 5.5 m/s

exis [7]

Answer:

Yes, since formations aren't mentioned at all in the rules, they can be adjusted. Sometimes when making a substitution, a coach will sub in a defender for an attacker/midfielder if the team is ahead and wants to protect their lead....

An ideal gas in a piston is placed in a refrigerator, which removes 413 J of energy from the gas via cooling. The plunger on the
maria [59]

Answer:

The net change in the internal energy of the gas in the piston is -343J

Explanation:

Because heat and workdone are the only means of energy transfer between the system and the surrounding, change in internal energy is given by;

∆E = q + w

q = heat transfer

w = workdone

Because heat is lost by the system, the heat transfer is negative

q = -413J

Because work is done on the system, workdone is positive

w = +70J

∆E = -413J + 70J

∆E = -343J

Suppose that placing 0.3 inch of lead in front of a gamma source reduces the count rate from 1045 cps to 573 cps. What is um^-1
Ainat [17]

Answer:

14.49 g/cm²

Explanation:

I = Io e^-(ux)

Where:

I = 573

Io = 1045

x = 0.3 inches and

rho = 11.4g/cm^3

Using the conversion constant

1 inch = 2.54 cm;

0.3 inches = 0.3 * 2.54 cm

0.3 inches = 0.762 cm

I/Io = e^-(ux), or say

Io/I = e^(ux), taking the In of both sides

ln(Io/I) = ux, making u subject of formula

u = 1/x * ln(Io/I)

u = 1/0.762 * ln(1045/573)

u = 1.312 * 0.6

u = 0.787

Next, we say that

u/rho = 0.7872/11.4 = 0.069

And finally, we make

1/(u/rho) to be our final answer

Inverse of the answer is = 14.49 g/cm²

Therefore, the um^-1 in g/cm^2? is 14.49

Technician A says that a common cause of parking brakes that will not hold, is out of adjustment slack adjusters. Technician B s
Flauer [41]

Answer:

a) technician A

Explanation: A parking brake is a secondary and support brake system which is usually applied when the vehicle is not in motion,this is done to prevent any form of motion and the possibility of any form of accident.

A secondary circuit is a circuit or coil in which current is generated through induction from another circuit or coil called the primary circuit,it has not been discovered that a low pressure from that circuit has led to poor trailer parking brake performance.
