Do all of our scientific instruments have a limit on how precise they can make a measurement?

Physics

Yes. that is "True".

All instruments have limited exactness, so the capacity to determine little contrasts in measurement is subsequently restricted.  

Precision alludes to the closeness of at least two estimations to one another. For example, on the off chance that you gauge a given substance five times, and get 3.2 kg each time, at that point your estimation is precise. You can be extremely precise yet mistaken. You can likewise be exact yet not precise.

When is the magnitude of the acceleration of a mass on a spring at its maximum value?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

A. when the mass has a speed of zero

Explanation:

In mass-spring system, the velocity and the acceleration are in anti-phase, which means that when one of the two quantities is maximum, the other one is zero, and vice-versa.

In fact:

- When the displacement of the spring is zero (x=0), the velocity is maximum, due to conservation of energy. In fact, as the displacement is zero, the elastic potential energy of the system (given by \frac{1}{2}kx^2) is zero, therefore the kinetic energy (given by \frac{1}{2}mv^2) must be maximum, and so the velocity (v) is also maximum. On the cotnrary, acceleration (a) is directly proportional to the restoring force of the spring, given by

F=-kx

so we see that when x=0, then the force is zero: F=0, and so the acceleration is zero as well.

On the cotnrary, since acceleration (a) is directly proportional to the restoring force of the spring, given by

F=-kx

so we see that when x=maximum, then the force is maximum, and so the acceleration is maximum as well.

Based on this, the correct answer is

A. when the mass has a speed of zero

if heat energy is transferred from direct contact between a warm and a cold object it has been transferred by what ?
Katarina [22]

When heat energy is transferred from direct contact between a warm and a cold object , it is known as heat transfer by conduction.

In conduction, the heat transfer takes place within an object or between two objects in contact until the temperature becomes uniform. this kind of heat transfer continues until the temperature at two ends between which the heat transfer take place , becomes equal.  Heat transfer takes place from point at high temperature to point at lower temperature.

What is the primary source of energy for earths weather systems
PIT_PIT [208]
I believe the sun is the primary source of energy for Earth's weather system. The sun is the primary energy source for Earth's climate system which is the first set of essential principles of climate sciences. Additionally, it is the primary source that drives all weather events, including precipitation, hurricane and tornadoes. The sun drives the hydrologic cycle, and makes life on Earth possible.

  1. Demand of natural resources have influenced human settlement plans .
  2. Clean air,clean water and food are examples of natural resources

How demands became the obstacles ?

  • The demands forces the human to go to different places in order to fulfill their requirements .
  • So they have to shift their homes to different places .

A 40 kg person sits on top of a 400 kg rock. What is the person’s weight? 390 N
algol13

The weight of the person is given by:

W = mg

W = weight, m = mass, g = gravitational acceleration

Given values:

m = 40kg, g = 9.81m/s²

Plug in and solve for W:

W = 40(9.81)

W = 390N
