How do BMI scales calculate body mass accurately?
Healthy body mass is relative to how tall you are. The BMI system allows you to find a healthy weight relative to your height.
The formula Weight x Height is used to calculate what kind of energy?
Relative gravitational potential energy.
What is absolute error formula?
Absolute and Relative Error Absolute and relative error are two types of error with which every experimental scientist should be familiar. The differences are important. Absolute Error: Absolute error is the amount of physical error in a measurement, period. Let's say a meter stick is used to measure a given distance. The error is rather hastily made, but it is good to ±1mm. This is the absolute error of the measurement. That is, absolute error = ±1mm (0.001m). In terms common to Error Propagation absolute error = Δx where x is any variable. Relative Error: Relative error gives an indication of how good a measurement is relative to the size of the thing being measured. Let's say that two students measure two objects with a meter stick. One student measures the height of a room and gets a value of 3.215 meters ±1mm (0.001m). Another student measures the height of a small cylinder and measures 0.075 meters ±1mm (0.001m). Clearly, the overall accuracy of the ceiling height is much better than that of the 7.5 cm cylinder. The comparative accuracy of these measurements can be determined by looking at their relative errors. relative error = absolute error value of thing measured or in terms common to Error Propagation relative error = Δx x where x is any variable. Now, in our example, relative errorceiling height = 0.001m 3.125m •100 = 0.0003% relativeerrorcylinder height = 0.001m 0.075m •100 = 0.01% Clearly, the relative error in the ceiling height is considerably smaller than the relative error in the cylinder height even though the amount of absolute error is the same in each case.
Is 5'9 a lot taller then 5'3?
Depends how you defined "a lot". 5'9" is 6 inches taller than 5'3". Relative to the height of a block of flats, 6" is practically nothing, and being 5'9 or 5'3 is pretty much the same height. Relative to the height of an ant, 6" is a horrendous height and so a difference between 5'9 and 5'3 is a very lot. As a percentage of 5'9, 6" is about 8.7 % As a percentage of 5'3, 6" is about 9.5 %
Show that the volume of cylinder is equal to one third the volume of cone?
It isn't. If the cylinder and the cone have the same height and radius, the cylinder has a larger volume (twice as large). If they do not have the same height and radius you need more information to prove their relative volumes.
Characteristics such as hair color and height are called?
Characteristics such as hair color and height are called phenotypes. Phenotypes are determined by the make up of alleles in the body, known as genotypes.
Why does human height have such a wide variety of phenotypes?
i eat pancakes
Why does height in humans have such a wide variety in phenotypes?
Because Height is controlled by at least four genes
Why do human traits such as height and skin color have different phenotype?
This is because phenotypes are the physical appearance. If you had brown hair and so did I, our phenotypes, would still be different.
Why are there so many phenotypes in polygenic inheritance?
Polygenic means many genes are influencing one trait. So, the inheritance of this gives you are all sorts of combination of genes that are expressed in various phenotypes. As example think of the different heights of siblings. There are 5 to 7 genes that influence height and in the same relative environment of siblings you get many combinations of those genes which express themselves in different height same sex siblings.
Why do some human traits such as height and hair color show large number of phenotypes?
Because these are governed by quatitative or multiple genes
How can height be relative?
Tall to a warm short to a giraffe
What height from the floor dose it have to be?
Please indicate to what you are referring.
What does large feet and nose indicate in puberty?
Large feet indicate that you will have more height. Large nose can be a genetic trait.
What is the Relative width height cinema image called?
Aspect Ratio
What is relative height and width of cinema image?
I think it is aspect ratio.
What is stabilizing selection against?
It is against an extreme phenotypes arising in a population of organisms. Height in humans is under stabilizing selection so that the normally distributed height of humans, save some outliers, describes the standard Bell curve.
