What do you measure in kilometres?
A kilometre is quite a long unit of measurement. For this reason you would use it to measure large things on earth. For example:The distance between citiesThe length of a coastlineHow far a train journey is
Why do larger things make lower sounds?
yes due to the large area of the object the vibrations have more distance to travel and lose more energy which rendurs the tone lower
What are the advantages and limitations of using a scale drawing to represent large distances?
measuring the distances
What metric measurement would you use to find the amount of juice in a large pitcher?
Cups
What does large mean absolute deviation means?
Large means something or an object that is big in size.
What is the ratio of an error in measuring an object?
The answer depends on how large the object is, what instrument is used to measure it and the skill level and attitude of the person doing the measurement.
What is the best unit of measurement to use when recording an object change of position?
The meter. If the distance is large, you may want to use kilometers instead; if the distance is small, millimeters or microns (= micrometers).
What is a large thigh measurement?
y the biou can measure your thighs with a bending measuring tape.
Which unit of measurement would be most appropriate for measuring the volume of a large pot?
fluid ounces
What is the main dis advantage of using pipette in measuring the volume of liquid?
The main disadvantage of using a pipet in measuring the volume of a liquid is that you cannot dispense large quantities.
How could you use indirect measurement to find the mass of a large boulder?
by measuring it to see what the length is and multiply that by the width
20 x 20 container is how many gallons?
20 x 20 is only two dimensions, like length and width, but no height, so it wouldn't be able hold any gallons. You have to add the height measurement, and then the measuring distance. Perhaps it is 20 x 20 x 5, but is that inches or feet or cm? The measuring distance is needed to calculate how large the container is.
Large structure used to investigate the measurement of aerodynamic forces of an object such as an aircraft?
Wind Tunnel
In early Sumeria what is a large distance unit which is equal to about seven times today's mile?
The Babylonians are also known for the Babylonian mile, which was a measure of distance equal to about seven miles today. This measurement for distances eventually was converted to a time-mile used for measuring the travel of the Sun, therefore, representing time.
What is the diff between area and volume?
Area is a two-dimensional measurement. It tells you how big a two dimensional object is or how large the surface of a three-dimensional object is.Volume is a three dimensional measurement. It tells you how big the inside of a three-dimensional object is or how much a three-dimensional object can hold inside.
When measuring a large current flow should you use a shunt with zero resistance?
It is not a shunt with zero resistance. It is very small, but it is not zero. The large current develops a small voltage across the small resistance. Measuring that small voltage gives you a proportional measurement of the current.
What measurement would you use to measure a large distance?
Light year is used to measure the stellar distances whereas miles and km is used to measure distance on Earth.
