3. You are measuring a distance using a caliper to measure something and you measure it to the nearest 0.01 mm. However, you hav

e misread the scale and listed the measurement as 8.62 mm when it really should have been 9.62 mm. Is this a mistake in accuracy or precision, or both?

Answer

Vernier caliper measure nearest to 0.01 mm.

If the correct reading of the experiment is 9.62 mm.

But you misread it and listed it as 8.62 mm.

This is Clearly the case of mistake in Accuracy.

Because the reading is wrong and answer is not accurate hence it is mistake in accuracy.

To Judge weather the reading is precise or not we should have a range where the result is acceptable but in  the question no range is given. So, we cannot comment on precision.

A tuning fork is held over a resonance tube, and resonance occurs when the surface of the water is 12 cm below the top of the tu
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

786 Hz

Explanation:

Recall, the speed of sound is

v = 332 + 0.6t

Where t = 23°

v = 332 + 0.6(23)

v = 332 + 13.8

v = 345.8 m

Also, it is known that distance between two consecutive resonance length is half of the wavelength.

L2 - L1 = λ/2

34 - 12 = λ/2

λ/2 = 22

λ = 44 cm

Finally, remember that also

Frequency = speed/ wavelength

Frequency = 345.8/0.4

Frequency = 786 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the tuning fork is 786 Hz

Where is the sun's energy most concentrated
Maru [420]

B. At the equator

Explanation:

The energy coming from the Sun hits the Earth's surface at different angles, depending on the latitude of the place. The more perpendicular the ray of lights hit the surface, the more the energy transmitted to the Earth's surface, the warmer the location.

The angle at which the ray of lights hit the Earth is related to the latitude: in particular, the ray of lights arrive perpendicular at the equator (0^{\circ}), they arrive at larger angle in the United States (which is located at intermediate latitudes) and they arrive at the largest angles at the poles. For this reason, the sun's most energy is concentrated at the equator.
