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

These four surfaces are opaque; that is they reflect or absorb certain rays of light determine the color
masya89 [10]
In the first figure, the surface absorbs all colors except for green light, which is reflected: so, the surface will appear as green to our eyes, because green is the only color which is reflected by that surface.

Similarly, in the  second figure, the surface absorbs all colors except for blue, and so the surface will appear blue to our eyes.

In the third figure, the surface absorbs all colors, so it will appear black to our eyes (because no colors are reflected, and black=absence of colors).

In the fourth figure, all colors are reflected: this means the surface will appear white to our eyes (white= sum of all colors).

When caring for wounds, doctors need to make sure wounds are not infected by bacteria. Which electromagnetic wave would doctors
musickatia [10]

Ultravoilent rays is an type of an electromegnetic wave with wavelength 10nm .Ultraviolet wave is used by doctors in order to keep the wounds away from bacteria.

<h3>What is ultravoilent wave ?</h3>

Ultravoilent rays is an type of an electromegnetic wave with wavelength 10nm. Ultravoilent wave is directly comes frim the sun. It is classified into the UV(A) , UV(B),UV(B).

Ultravoilet rays also effects the human eyes that s why sun glasses are used. The experiments here are compared and quantified to the effectiveness of the sunscreens with various strengths.

In a particular experiment to study the photoelectric effect, the frequency of the incident light and the temperature of the met
qwelly [4]

Answer:

B. The number of electrons emitted from the metal per second increases.

Explanation:

Light consists of photons . Energy of each photon depends upon frequency of light . The increase in intensity increases the number of photons . It does not increase energy of photons .

So if a high intensity light falls on a photosensitive plate , each photon ejects one electron . So number of electrons increases if we increase intensity of photon. It does not increase kinetic energy of ejected electrons . Work function depends upon the nature of plate.
