The first step to take is to check the anemometer to determine the intensity of the wind blowing in the open ocean. The measurement is in terms of knots or nautical miles. Next, we use a Beaufort scale to check what range the knots falls in. Using the scale, we can see what is the height of the wave. The Beaufort scale is used in open oceans only

Meeta used an elastic tape to measure the length of her window to stitch a curtain. Do you think she will be able to stitch a cu
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

She will not be able to measure the length of her window accurately due to instrumental error from her choice of instrument. The elastic nature of her tape would alter the measurement because it will stretch as she is taking her readings, thus reducing the true measurement of the length of her window.

To measure the length of her window, she could use an inelastic tape rule or a metre rule. These instruments would eliminate instrumental error.

Hold a pencil in front of your eye at a position where its blunt end just blocks out the Moon.
Valentin [98]

Answer:

D = 3.55 \times 10^6 m

Explanation:

Light rays coming from moon is blocked by the pencil

so as per figure we know that angle subtended by pencil and angle subtended by moon must be same

so we have

Angle = \frac{Arc}{Radius}

so we have

\frac{D}{3.8 \times 10^8 m} = \frac{0.7 cm}{75 cm}

so we have

D = 3.55 \times 10^6 m

True/False: Paraphrasing Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, gravity "handprint" makes an "indentation" in the fabric of sp
Y_Kistochka [10]
B.False

Einstein's vision of GR is NOT that somehow Gravity comes along and alters (indents?) some existing structure.
It is that Gravity (with its four possible sources) actually determines the entire global structure of Space-Time in which such sources are extant.

The mass of an atom is
suter [353]

Answer:

Atomic mass is defined as the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, where each proton and neutron has a mass of approximately 1 amu (1.0073 and 1.0087, respectively). The electrons within an atom are so miniscule compared to protons and neutrons that their mass is negligible.

I hope this is the answer you were looking for :D

If you don't wear a helmet and let's say you fell off your bike, you can severely injure your head! But if you DO wear a helmet and you fell off your bike, there's about I predict a 98% chance that you won't injure but sometimes it's 100%

hope this helps!<span />
