Accuracy describes how close a measurement is to the truest value while precision shows how close the measurements are to one another when repeated analysis of the same measurements are performed. Precision most likely is free from any any variation.

If the speed of a wave doubles while the frequency remains the same, it means
sattari [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

Velocity of a wave is describe as

velocity =Frequency × Wavelength

Mathematically

v = fλ

Hence, Frequency, F = v / λ

Wavelength λ = v/f

So, if the frequency is kept constant, wavelength of the wave becomes directly proportional to velocity of the wave.

And this implies that, as the speed double, the wavelength is double.

The heating element in a kettle behaves like a resistor. A particular kettle needs to operate at 230 V, with a power of 1500 W.
dedylja [7]

Answer:

R = 35.27 Ohms

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Voltage = 230V

Power = 1500W

To find the resistance, R;

Power = V²/R

Where:

V is the voltage measured in volts.

R is the resistance measured in ohms.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

1500 = 230²/R

Cross-multiplying, we have;

1500R = 52900

R = 52900/1500

R = 35.27 Ohms.

Therefore, the resistance which the heating element needs to have​ is 35.27 Ohms.

2 Points<br> How did J. J. Thomson change the atomic model based on his experimental<br> results?
tester [92]

Explanation:

In 1897, J.J. ... Thomson realized that the accepted model of an atom did not account for negatively or positively charged particles. Therefore, he proposed a model of the atom which he likened to plum pudding. The negative electrons represented the raisins in the pudding and the dough contained the positive charge.

Why do you think sound travels faster in steel than it does in wood? (Hint: Think about the densities of the two materials, and
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

If sound waves of the same energy were passed through a block of wood and a block of steel, which is more dense than the wood, the molecules of the steel would vibrate at a slower rate. Sound moves faster through denser air because the molecules are closer together in dense air and sound can be more easily passed on.
