Waves transfer energy but not matter
Answer:
Unit of precision for force is the Newton.
Explanation:
It is the official unit used to describe force in science and mostly abbreviated with the symbol N.
The correct answer is A. Acid rain forms from human activities and lowers the pH of rainwater below 7
Explanation:
The term "acid rain" is used to refer to rainwater with a low pH or a high acidity, this includes rainwater with a pH below 7 (solutions with a pH under 7 are acidic). In terms of formation, acid rain is mainly the result of human activities such as factories or cars that release pollutants into the atmosphere including nitric and sulfuric acids and these alter the natural pH of rain and makes it more acidic. Additionally, acid rain has negative consequences such as the death of fishes and other organisms in lakes, rivers, etc. because the acidity is toxic to many organisms. Thus, acid rain is the result of human activities and it lowers the pH of rain (Option A).
Answer : The correct option is, (b) Thermometer B, because it measures temperature more accurately than A.
Explanation :
Accuracy : It is defined as the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.
For Example: If the mass of a substance is 50 kg and one person weighed 48 kg and another person weighed 55 kg. Then, the weight measured by first person is more accurate.
Precision : It is defined as the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.
For Example: If you weigh a given substance five times and you get 1.8 kg each time. Then the measurement is said to be precise.
Level of precision is determined by the maximum number of decimal places.
As per question, the thermometer B has markings 40°, 45° and 50° at equal intervals and there are four small markings equally spaced in between the numbers and thermometer B has markings 40°, 45° and 50° at equal intervals but there is no small markings equally spaced in between the numbers. That means, thermometer B is measures temperature more accurately than thermometer A.
Hence, correct option is, (b) Thermometer B, because it measures temperature more accurately than A.
