Area of the rectangle = Length  x  Width
We will calculate the percentage of uncertainties. 
For a length: p 1 = ( 0.2 · 100 ) : 22.4 = 20 : 22.4 = 0.893
For a width: p 2 =  ( 0.1  · 100 ) : 8.4 = 10 : 8.4 = 1.190
p 1 + p 2 = 0.893 + 1.190 = 2.083 %
A = 22.4 · 8.4 = 188.16 +/-  2.083 %
 Uncertainty: 188.16 · 0.02083  = 3.92 
A = 188.16 +/- 3.92 cm²

kap26 [50]

Answer: velocity of the car is 113.33m/s

Explanation:

From Doppler effect,

in the case which the source is moving towards the observer at rest

f2 = v/(v-vs) *f1

where f2 is the final observed frequency

f1 is the initial observed frequency

v = 340m/s (speed of sound in air)

vs = velocity of the source of sound.

rearranging the above equation

f2*(v - vs) = f1* v

vs = (f1* v/f2) - v

but f1 = 80Hz

f2 = 60Hz

v = 340m/s

substituting,

vs = (80 x 340)/60 - 340

vs = 453.33 - 340

vs = 113.33m/s

velocity of the car is 113.33m/s

murzikaleks [220]
The description of the question provided above points out to the famous Big Bang Theory. In addition, this theory is among the most accepted by cosmologists because it fits like a glove to the phenomenon the universe is experiencing right now: it is expanding and distances between celestial bodies are getting farther and farther.

Glare appears on a computer screen when light from the surroundings reflects off of the screen’s surface. Some computer screens
hoa [83]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

D:The surface of the coating allows light from the room to pass through but blocks the light from the screen.

Explanation:

Glare is produced on a computer screen when light from some external source reflects on the screen.

Anti-glare coating do not absorb light to reduce glare but they actually reduce glare by encouraging the light from the room to pass through the screen so that less light is reflected. Polarized lenses absorbs light to reduce glare, not anti-glare coating.
