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.

Two cars traveled equal distances in different amounts of time. Car A traveled the distance in 2 h, and Car B traveled the dista
lions [1.4K]
The answer is 60 mph.

The speed (v) is distance (d) per time (t): v = d/t

Car A:
v1 = ?
t1 = 2 h
d1 = ?
___
v1 = d1/t1
d1 = v1 * t1

Car B:
v2 = ?
t2 = 1.5 h
d2 = ?
___
v2 = d2/t2
d2 = v2 * t2

<span>Two cars traveled equal distances:
d1 = d2
</span>v1 * t1 = v2 * t2

<span>Car B traveled 15 mph faster than Car A:
v2 = v1 + 15


</span>v1 * t1 = v2 * t2
v2 = v1 + 15
________
v1 * 2 = (v1 + 15) * 1.5
2v1 = 1.5v1 + 22.5
2v1 - 1.5v1 = 22.5
0.5v1 = 22.5
v1 = 22.5/0.5
v1 = 45 mph


v2 = v1 + 15
v2 = 45 + 15
v2 = 60 mph

An object is thrown upwards with the speed of 40.0 km/hr in 5 second, calculate the distance in millimeters (mm).
sertanlavr [38]
V=(40km/hr)(hr/3600s)(1000000mm/km)
v=11111.1mm/s

v=d/t
d=vt
d=(11111.1mm/s)(5s)
d=55555mm
d=5.56x10^4mm

Answer:

C. turtles with genes for long necks had a better chance of surviving to reach reproductive age.

Explanation:

The turtles that had long necks were more fit to the environmnet in which they were lovated and were able to grow larger and have more reproductive time because of their ability to feed on grass and small shrubs, this helped them always haev food available, and made them the dominant gene eventually.
