Name some devices we use to make measurements

Physics
1 answer:
NikAS [45]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Ruler. A steel ruler aids the measurement and layout of straight lines. The ruler, also called "straightedge" or "straight-edged ruler," is a long, thin strip of wood, metal or plastic marked with increments of measurement.

Measuring Tape. The modern measuring tape's roughly palm-sized casing contains a coiled strip of metal marked with increments of measurement. The metal strip, called "tape," attaches to a spring which automatically retracts the tape into the casing following use.

Walking Tape Measure. The walking tape measure, also called "surveyor's measure," records the distance traveled by a wheel. An operator pushes the measure's wheel, similar to a bicycle wheel, by a handle as an attached ticker box displays feet or meters in the same format as a car's odometer.

Laser Measure. The laser measure offers point and shoot distance measurement. In its most basic form, a laser measure is a hand-held electronic device with a digital display.

Which of the following is not a reason fluorescent lamps are advantageous over incandescent lamps?
cricket20 [7]

Answer;

B. Fluorescent lamps operate at a higher temperature than incandescent lamps.

Explanation;

-A fluorescent lamp, is a type of electric light (lamp) that uses ultraviolet emitted by mercury vapor to excite a phosphor, which emits visible light.

-A fluorescent lamp produces less heat, thus, it is much more efficient. A fluorescent bulb can produce between 50 and 100 lumens per watt. This makes fluorescent bulbs four to six times more efficient than incandescent bulbs.

-Fluorescent lamps operate best around room temperature. At much lower or higher temperatures, efficacy decreases.

What will be the ME of a machine that produces a 240 N work with a 300
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Efficiency = 80%

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Work output = 240 N

Work Input = 300 N

To find the mechanical efficiency of a machine;

Efficiency = \frac {Out-put \; work}{In-put \; work} * 100

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Efficiency = \frac {240}{300} * 100

Efficiency = 0.8 * 100

Efficiency = 80%

Therefore, the mechanical efficiency of the machine is 80 percent.
