Answer:

4.38 km

Explanation:

Volume of oil slick, V = Area of oil slick, A × thickness of 1 molecule, d'

Since the oil slick spreads out in a circular area, it has the area of a circle.

So, V = πd²/4 × d'

d² = 4V/πd'

d = 2√(V/πd') where d = diameter of oil slick.

Since V = 3000 cm³ = 3000 × 10⁻⁶ m³ = 3 × 10⁻³ m³ and d' = 2 × 10⁻¹⁰ m

So, d = 2√(3 × 10⁻³ m³/(π × 2 × 10⁻¹⁰ m))

= 2√(3 × 10⁻³ m³/(6.283 × 10⁻¹⁰ m))

= 2√(0.477 × 10⁷ m²) = 2√(4.775 × 10⁶ m²)

=  2 × 2.19 × 10³ m

= 4.38 × 10³ m

= 4.38 km

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

It can be said to be reliable although it is not valid

Explanation:

This is because Reliability means an indicator of consistency, A measure should produce similar or the same results consistently if it measures the same quantity. So does the thermometer measures over 5days but it is not valid because it deviates from the real value
