Answer:

A digital thermometer

Explanation:

A bulb thermometer is the thermometer which consists a bulb at the one end and mercury at the other. It consists capillary tube in which mercury rise. It accuracy is based on the observer observation.

A digital thermometer is the thermometer which are sensibly portable and it has a digital screen. It will give the accurate value of temperature.

In the given problem the bulb thermometer gives 21°C of an indoor reading  while digital in the same room gives a reading of 20.7°C. In this it can be seen that the bulb reading is up to 2 significant digit and the digital thermometer reading is up to 3 significant digits.

Therefore, a digital thermometer is more precise.

Answer:

The archerfish must spit at a minimum speed of 3.43m/s at an angle of 69.14\° above the horizontal.

Explanation:

Hi

First of all, we need to find the angle above the horizontal at which the archerfish must spit, as we can see in the attachment this angle is \Theta = 69.14\°.

Then we use the formula h=\frac{v_{0}^{2}sin^{2} \Theta}{2g}, as we clear it for v_{0}, we obtain, v_{0}=\frac{\sqrt{2gh} }{sin\Theta}=\frac{\sqrt{2(9.8m/s^{2})(0.525m)} }{sin(69.14\°)}=3.43m/s, therefore the archerfish must spit at a minimum speed of 3.43m/s at an angle of 69.14\° above the horizontal.

Scientists usually write reports about their investigations. Why do they do this?
worty [1.4K]
As for me, the reson why scientists usually write reports about their investigations is because they want to <span>d. to communicate their work to other scientist. As far as I am concerned in this sphere they have to get many other opnions besides their own in order to complete or expand one that they have made up. Hope it helps :)</span>

An astronaut landed on a far away planet that has a sea of water. To determine the gravitational acceleration on the planet's su
TiliK225 [7]

The concept required to solve this problem is hydrostatic pressure. From the theory and assuming that the density of water on that planet is equal to that of the earth (1000kg / m ^ 3)we can mathematically define the pressure as

P = \rho g h

Where,

\rho = Density

h = Height

g = Gravitational acceleration

Rearranging the equation based on gravity

g = \frac{P_h}{\rho h}

The mathematical problem gives us values such as:

P = 2.4 atm (\frac{101325Pa}{1atm}) = 243180Pa

\rho = 1000kg/m^3

h = 28.6m

Replacing we have,

g = \frac{243180}{(1000)(28.6)}

g = 8.5m/s^2

Therefore the gravitational acceleration on the planet's surface is 8.5m/s^2
