In measuring the length of the laboratory table which is proper and better to use the vernier caliper or the meter stickWhy?
A metre stick, because vernier calipers cannot be opened wide enough to accommodate the length of a table.
Why is mass a better indicator than volume?
It depends on what you are measuring, and the accuracy desired. The volume of substances, and even the capacity of your measuring equipment will change due to thermal expansion. The mass of the substance doesn't change with temperature.
What is equipment stiffness?
Negative-Stiffness-Mechanism (NSM) vibration isolation systems offer a unique passive approach for achieving low vibration environments and isolation against sub-Hertz vibrations. "Snap-through" or "over-center" NSM devices are used to reduce the stiffness of elastic suspensions and create compact six-degree-of-freedom systems with low natural frequencies. Practical systems with vertical and horizontal natural frequencies as low as 0.2 to 0.5 Hz provide isolation efficiencies one to two orders of magnitude better than top-performance air tables and pneumatic isolation systems
Why does crushed paper occupy more space?
Crushed (crumpled) paper occupies more space than folded paper, and better resists being compressed, because the paper material contains irregular folding against the grain, or strength of the paper. Part of the ball consists of flat surfaces and part as "columns" that resist being further crushed. The paper's relative stiffness will determine the actual difference in compression resistance. Most of the volume of a paper "ball" is "trapped" air spaces between the crumpled folds. A similar use of the strength of the material can be demonstrated by creasing a piece of paper into a fan consisting of multiple pleats, with a cross-section having a sawtooth shape. This pleated sheet will resist deformation (bending) to a much greater extent than the unfolded paper sheet.
What is a better conductor of heat plastic or metal?
metals are better conductors of heat because they have free electrons.
Which is better to draw a circle a protractor or a compass?
A compass because a protractor is for measuring angles
Are sliding keyboards for a cell phone better than folding keyboards?
Yeah i had a folding one and it fell off!
When would folding patio chairs be a better idea than non-folding patio chairs?
It depends. They will definitely be easier to store, as well as easier to move around. However, folding chairs are usually cheaper looking. Folding patio chairs are an excellent choice because they are easy to move indoors when you are not using them. Doing this helps extend the life of the patio chairs, so going with folding chairs is ideal.
Is using a measuring cylinder or gas syringe better to use when the gas is soluble?
measuring cylinder
How can I relieve joint stiffness and enjoy gardening again?
To avoid stiffness while gardening, it is better to garden when the humidity is low. Also, use a need pad to cushion your joints. After gardening, ice and elevate the affected area.
Is measuring pipette better than transfer pipette?
yes
What is Fiberglass measuring tape?
A measuring tape made of fiberglass. I have 3, very smooth and much better than steel tapes.
Is a gram or kilogram better for measuring the weight of a dog?
kilogram is about 2.2 pounds, so a kilogram is better
Are wooden folding tables better than metal ones for the garden?
Wooden folding tables are more sturdy, they do not have the tendency to bend like metal tables. You can move the wooden tables easier than the metal ones and you do not have to worry about rusting.
Why is a rule or steel tape more accurate in taking the measurements of any object than a meter stick?
Mainly because the meter stick is thicker and if your eye isn't exactly over the mark you are measuring there will be an error due to parallax. The thinner the measuring device the better result you achieve.
Would a folding umbrella be better than a regular umbrella?
A folding umbrella is a very good option if you live in a place that has a harsh winter. They take up less room if you decide to store them and they can be folded down for more protection if you decide to leave them out in the weather.
How can a scientist improve his measuring of the displacement of an object at different times?
Buy better equipment
