Give two examples of when you would need to use the measure skill in science?

I'm guessing "measure skill" means "the ability to measure things." In reality, all experiments by necessity require data and typically we need to measure things to get them (even if this is done by devices, programs or computers). When doing science labs, you'll likely need to use scales, pipets, and various glasswear to measure different things. Even if you're used to using a ruler, getting a really good measurement that you can feed into equations and get meaningful results from requires a bit of practice and more care than you might think. I'd also say that the measurement skill comes into play when making approximations or assumptions about experiment. No measurement is infinitely accurate, you can't measure the width of an atom with a standard 12 inch ruler, or if you did, you'd have to have a very large amount of error. Making these logical conclusions about your devices, where they reach their limits, and what potential error you may have and where it comes from are all important when doing science.

Which produces more gravitational force on your textbook: you or the earth?

Yuri [45]

The earth obviously because it is on Earth like we are and it has the same gravital properties. It falls when you drop it and rises when you pick it up

When a burning stick of increase is moved fast in a circle a circle of red light is seen.

Answer:

The impression of the image on the retina lasts for about 1/16th of a second after the removal of the object. If a burning stick of incense is revolved at a rate of more than sixteen revolutions per second, we see a circle of red light due to persistence of vision.

While an emf source supplies energy to a circuit, that energy is dissipated when the current passes through resistance. In deali

fredd [130]

The question is incomplete, the options are;

RI^2

I^2/R

R/I^2

R/V^2

RV^2

V^2/R

VIR

Select all that apply

Answer:

P=RI^2

P=V^2/R

P=VI

Explanation:

Power is the rate at which energy is changing in a circuit. It is shown by the formulas outlined above from the group of answer choices. Since the current (I), voltage (V), and resistance (R) were mentioned in the question, any of three three formulas could be used to obtain the power drawn by the conductor.

Astronauts use a centrifuge to simulate the acceleration of a rocket launch. The centrifuge takes 40.0 s to speed up from rest t

Vinvika [58]

Answer

Time period T = 1.50 s

time t = 40 s

r = 6.2 m

Angular speed ω = 2π/T

= $\dfrac{2\pi }{1.5}$
