Answer:

You need to know the accuracy to which you can read the ruler:

Suppose that you can read the read the ruler to the nearest milimeter

A = L * W     your calculated area of the rectangle

A + ΔA = (L + ΔL) * (W + ΔW) = L W + L ΔW + W * ΔL + ΔL ΔA

Or ΔA =  L ΔW + W ΔL

Where we have subtracted A = L * W and the term ΔL * ΔA is very small

So (5 + .1) * (2 + .1) - 5 * 2 = .1 * 2 + .1 * 5 = .7 cm^2

Then you report A = 10 cm^2 +- .7 cm^2    including the - sign for completeness

Question #6
Novay_Z [31]

The two points on a periodic wave in a medium are said to be in phase if they have the same amplitude and are moving in the same direction.

Option 4.

Explanation:

A periodic wave is termed for waves which flow in a repetition pattern in a given time scale. Periodic wave can also be termed as a transverse wave. So a transverse wave have various crests and troughs. The two successive crests and two successive troughs are said to be in phase with each other.

Thus, for a periodic wave in a medium, the in phase can be obtained in two points which have the same amplitude and are moving in the same direction.

As amplitude is a scalar quantity and so direction should be taken into consideration for making the points related to successive crests only in phase with themselves. Also this also relates the points related to successive troughs to be in phase with each other. But a crest and a trough will not be in phase with each other.

Thus, option 4, that is the two points on a periodic wave in a medium are said to be in phase if they have the same amplitude and are moving in the same direction.

Two factors which cause global climate change are listed below.
Vika [28.1K]
I believe the answer is <span>c. Factor 1 is a natural factor and Factor 2 is a human induced factor.
The amount of heat received by the sun has increased because of the amount of CO2 which human expelled to the atmosphere.
Because of this CO2, the heat from the sun couldn't be reflected outside the atmosphere and trapped within the earth.</span>

A force of 450 N accelerates a box across a frictionless surface at a rate of 15 m/s 2 . What is the mass of the box? 30 N 30 kg
Elza [17]
Hey there,

Your correct answer would be 30kg.

450 = m × 15 or also 450/15=m.

Hope this helps.
