Explanation:

The precision of a measurement system refers to how close the agreement is between repeated measurements (which are repeated under the same conditions). Consider the example of the paper measurements. The precision of the measurements refers to the spread of the measured values.

Quartz, SiO2, contains 46.7% silicon by mass. What mass of silicon is present in 348 g of quartz? You must show your work.

anastassius [24]

Answer:162.516 gm

Explanation:

Given

Quartz contains 46.7 % silicon by mass

i.e.Silicon is 46.7 % by mass

Total mass of Quartz m=348 gm

46.7% of 348 gm

$=\frac{46.7}{100}\times 348=162.516 gm$

What was the average speed for the second leg of the trip? help me im stuck

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The average speed on the second leg of the trip is 2 m/s

Explanation:

Notice that the second leg of the trip is from 8 m in the horizontal axis heading to the left to position 4 m. So the velocity is going to be negative and given by the quotient of the change in position (-4 m) divided by the time it took: 2 seconds.

This gives: -4/ 2 m/s = -2 m/s

But the speed is going to be the absolute value of the velocity, that is:

2 m/s

Rank the ultraviolet, infrared, and visible regions of theelectromagnetic spectrum in terms of lowest to highest energy,frequenc

Liula [17]

Answer:

1. Energy: ultraviolet>> visible> infrared

2. Frequency: ultraviolet>> visible > infrared

3. Wavelength: infrared >> visible > ultraviolet

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are a class of waves that do not require material medium for their propagation, and travel at the same speed. They are arranged with respect to either their decreasing wavelength or increasing frequency to form a spectrum called an electromagnetic spectrum.

Comparing the energy, frequency and wavelength of ultraviolet, infrared and visible regions, it can be deduced that:

1. Energy: ultraviolet has the highest energy, then followed by visible, and infrared has the lowest energy.

i.e energy: ultraviolet>> visible> infrared

2. Frequency: ultraviolet radiation has the highest frequency, visible region has a greater frequency than that of infrared.

i.e frequency: ultraviolet>> visible > infrared

3. Wavelength: infrared radiation has the highest wavelength, followed by visible region, and ultraviolet radiation has the lowest wavelength.

i.e wavelength: infrared >> visible > ultraviolet

How does gravity cause the solar system to move within the galaxy?

castortr0y [4]

The sun's gravity pulls the planet toward the sun, which changes the straight line of direction into a curve. This keeps the planet moving in an orbit around the sun. Because of the sun's gravitational pull, all the planets in our solar system orbit around it.
