In order to have a verified or reliable answer to this question, they should take the watch apart and test the mechanism to see what causes failure.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

For dropping a similar watch to record results, we need to buy another one. So, it becomes expensive. And, calling the manufacturer will give accurate results, but no knowledge. It is like getting multiple choices by luck.

Consulting senior faculty won’t result in any progress, because they may not have conducted these. So, one should rip off the watch, and study the mechanism, and its limitations.  The testing of mechanism gives the actual results.

Answer: B) Drop a similar watch multiple times and record the results.

Explanation:

In order to have a verified or reliable answer to this question, investigators must drop a similar watch multiple times and record the results. By doing this and repeatedly getting the same result(s), they are able to determine that their answer is in fact true.

Calculate the nuclear binding energy per nucleon for 136^Ba if its nuclear mass is 135.905 amu.
kompoz [17]

Answer:

1.312 x 10⁻¹² J/nucleon

Explanation:

mass of ¹³⁶Ba = 135.905 amu

¹³⁶Ba contain 56 proton and 80 neutron

mass of proton = 1.00728 amu

mass of neutron = 1.00867 amu

mass of ¹³⁶Ba = 56 x  1.00728 amu + 80 x 1.00867 amu

                      = 137.10128 amu

mass defect = 137.10128 - 135.905

                    = 1.19628 amu

mass defect = 1.19628 x 1.66 x 10⁻²⁷ Kg

                     = 1.9858 x 10⁻²⁷ Kg

speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

binding energy,

E = mass defect x c²

E = 1.9858 x 10⁻²⁷ x (3 x 10⁸)²

E = 17.87 x 10⁻¹¹ J/atom

now,

binding energy per nucleon =\dfrac{17.87\times 10^{-11}}{136}

                                              = 0.1312 x 10⁻¹¹ J/nucleon

                                              = 1.312 x 10⁻¹² J/nucleon

Determine the half-life of uranium-238 based on the graph.
Nikitich [7]
From the curve on the graph we can see, when y=50 x=4.5
the unit of x-axis is in "billions of years", so the answer is 4.5 billions of years

Tudy the images about geologic time.
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The first flowering plants appeared in the Mesozoic era, not the Paleozoic era

Explanation:

The Mesozoic era is well known and most famous because of the rule of the dinosaurs which were the dominant animals for most of this are. Also, it is the era in which the mammals appeared, though they lived in the shadows of the dinosaurs and only became dominant after their extinction. Another important evolution that took place and is not mentioned very often is the appearance of the first flowering plants. This was a revolutionary trait for the plants, and it helped them to survive in the changing climate on Earth. Soon this trait enabled this type of plants to spread out significantly and to become one of the most dominant organisms on the planet in the following era.

An electrical power plant manages to send 88% of the heat produced in the burning of fossil fuel into the water-to-steam convers
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Let the x represent the amount of heat generated from the fossil fuel.

88% of x = 0.88 x

0.88 x was used to convert water to steam.

heat carried by steam = 40% × 0.88 x = 0.352 x

efficiency of the heat -to- work conversion = work output / work input = 0.352 x / x = 0.352 × 100 = 35.2 % which is less than 40 %

Rita jeptoo of kenya was the first female finisher in the 110th boston marathon. she ran the first 10.0 km in a time of 0.5689 h
stira [4]

Part a

Answer: 17.58 km/h

Average speed=\frac{Total\hspace{1mm}Distance}{Total\hspace{1mm}Time}

Total Distance =10 km

Total time =0.5689 h

\Rightarrow Average speed=\frac{10\hspace{1mm}km}{0.5689\hspace{1mm}h}=17.6 \hspace{1mm}km/h

Part b

Answer: 17.626 km/h

Average speed=\frac{Total\hspace{1mm}Distance}{Total\hspace{1mm}Time}

Total Distance =42.195 km

Total time =2.3939 h

\Rightarrow Average speed=\frac{42.195\hspace{1mm}km}{2.3939\hspace{1mm}h}=17.626\hspace{1mm}km/h
