1. Repeat measurements and find the average (usually mean) result2) Use a higher precision apparatus3) Zero or recalibrate the instrument to avoid incorrect results

In the question we are given:Speed=10m/sForce=500NPower is work done per second and also the force times velocity.(could discuss how this works in units: W=J/s = Nm/s therefore Joules = Newton-meters )So ...

The ammeter's needle would first be deflected one way, then as the direction of the current reversed, it would deflect the other way.

For the first part we know that the wavelength is over 1.0 m so it is a radio wave.To find the period we first find the frequency as the period is the reciprical of the frequency. (T = 1/f).To find the fr...

The students stand at a distance of 200 m from each other (measured with the measuring tape). Student 1 fires the pistol, Student 2 starts the stopwatch when they see smoke from the pistol and stop it whe...
