Answer:

because the stove is hot and it's made out of metal so if they made the handles metal you could not even have use pots , they put plastic handles because they don't want us to get burned

Answer:

The handels are plastic because plastic is not a conductor of heat. This way, the plastic prevents u from getting burnt/hurt.

storchak [24]

Answer:

4.2 km

Explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. There are different types of triangles such as isosceles triangle, scalene triangle, equilateral triangle and right angled triangle.

Sine rule states that for a triangle with angles A,B and C and corresponding opposite sides a, b, and c, the following formula holds:

\frac{a}{sin(A)}=\frac{b}{sin(B)}=\frac{c}{sin(C)}

Let the starting point be A, hence the side opposite to the  angle = a = distance travelled in north east direction.

Let the point of 60° of northeast be B = 90° + (90° - 60°) = 120°, hence the side opposite to the  angle = b = resultant displacement = 8 km.

Let C be the endpoint, hence the side opposite to the  angle = c = distance travelled north = 5 km

Using sine rule:

\frac{b}{sin(B)}=\frac{c}{sin(C)}  \\\\\frac{8}{sin(120)}=\frac{5}{sin(C)}  \\\\sin(C)=\frac{5*sin(120)}{8} =0.5412\\\\C=sin^{-1}(0.5412)=32.8^o\\\\

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (sum of angle in a triangle)

∠A + 120 + 32.8 = 180

∠A = 27.2°

\frac{b}{sin(B)}=\frac{a}{sin(A)}  \\\\\frac{8}{sin(120)}=\frac{a}{sin(27.2)}  \\\\a=\frac{8*sin(27.2)}{sin(120)} \\\\a=4.2\ km

Therefore she travelled 4.2 km in the north east direction

A distant galaxy emits light that has a wavelength of 434.1 nm. On earth, the wavelength of this light is measured to be 438.6 n
maksim [4K]

Answer:

A) receding from the earth

B) 3.078x10^6m/s

Explanation:

  • A) receding from the earth

The wavelength went from 434.1nm to 438.6nm, there was an increase in wavelength (also knowecn as redshift due to the doppler efft), this increase is due to the fact that the source that emits the radiation (the distant galaxy) is moving away and therefore the light waves it emits are "stretched", causing us to see a wavelength greater than the original.

  • B) 3.078x10^6m/s

to calculate the relative speed we use the following formula:

v_{rel}=c(1-\frac{\lambda_{1}}{\lambda_{2}} )

where c is the speed of light: c=3x10^8m/s

\lambda_{1} is the wavelength emited by the source, and

\lambda_{2} is the wavelength measured on earth.

we substitute all the values and do the calculations:

v_{rel}=(3x10^8m/s)(1-\frac{434.1nm}{438.6nm} )\\\\v_{rel}=(3x10^8m/s)(1-0.98974)\\\\v_{rel}=(3x10^8m/s)(0.01026)\\\\v_{rel}=3.078x10^6m/s

the relative speed is: 3.078x10^6m/s

Amy put some salt in a weighing dish. Then she put the weighing dish on a sensitive balance to measure the mass of the salt. She
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

i. Accuracy in measurement is a term that is used to describe the closeness of a measured value to its actual value. It relates the actual value to the measured values.

Therefore in the given question, Amy's measurement of the salt's mass is accurate because her final value is close to all the measured values.

ii. Precision in measurement is a term that is used to describe the closeness of different measured values to each other. It relates the keenness in the measured values.

Thus, Amy's measurements of the salt's mass is precise because the values of the masses are close to one another.
