Answer 1

Answer:

1. Measuring the weight of an apple- scale.

2. Studying a distant object- telescope.

3. Studying a very small object- microscope.

4. Measuring the length of a book- ruler.

5. Measuring the temperature of a cup of tea- thermometer.

Explanation:

1. A scale or measuring scale is used to measure or take the weight of any object. It can be either an analog or digital scale as long as the measurements can be taken from it. So, measuring the weight of an apple can be done on a measuring scale.

2. A telescope is an instrument that is used in scientific, especially in space explorations, to study a distant object in the universe/ sky. It gives a clear image and enables a person to view things closer than they are. So, a telescope can be used to study distant objects.

3. A microscope is used to study very different small objects, such as microbes and other organisms. It enlarges the objects to be viewed and thus, enables them to be studied in detail.

4. A ruler may be used to measure the length of a book. It has indications or marks by which the lengths can be taken.

5. A thermometer is an instrument that is used to measure the temperature of anything, be it a person or even other things such as food and even a cup of tea.
