Why is it better to use a magnetic compass to find directions more than the stars and the sun?
It isn't.
Navigation by the stars is far more accurate than navigation with a compass, as magnetic north is different at different locations while north determined by the stars is the same at all locations.
How we can check the frequency in Hertz in our home electric current?
A frequency counter is the most accurate way. As stated above some digital multimeters include this feature, but stand alone frequency counters are also available.
Another way is to use an oscilloscope and measure the period of one cycle, then calculate the frequency as the reciprocal of the period you measured.
Another way is to use a multiple tuning fork frequency meter. These devices have perhaps a dozen tuning forks tuned to different frequencies (with the 60 Hz fork in the center, lower frequency forks to the left, and higher frequency forks to the right) and an electromagnetic excitation coil. The tuning fork(s) closest in frequency to the powerline will vibrate and the others will remain stationary, allowing you to read the frequency. They are a bit course in their measurement, but usually can identify differences of about 0.1 Hz.
However, if your home is powered from the national power grid (not a local generator) the frequency is required to be 60 Hz to a precision that a clock synchronized to the power line will never be more then 10 seconds fast or slow of the correct time, although the line frequency might be high or low for short periods as much as a couple Hz.
How many 2 x 2 LEGO bricks would it take to build a 12 x 12 foot house?
If it is a 2x2x2 and a 12x12x12 house then you find the volumes and divide
12x12x12/(2x2x2)=216
Else it is this, by using area
12x12/(2x2)=36
How a liquid thermometer works using thermal expansions?
In the right conditions and circumstances all liquids will expand
What is the maximum current value that can be measured with an analog VOM?
Unfortunately that varies with the model of VOM, consult the users manual.
What are echocardiogram calipers?
Echocardiogram calipers are measurement tools that are used during an echocardiogram procedure to measure the size of various structures of the heart, such as the chambers, valves, and walls. These calipers help healthcare providers accurately assess the function and condition of the heart.
What does the voltage on a digital multimeter indicate?
It generally reads RMS value of the voltage being measured
What measure would you use to find the least popular snack in your class?
The modal response of a survey (or census) of people in the class.
Does micrometer measure inside of a cylinder?
Yes. An inside micrometer or bore micrometer can be used for measuring the bore of a machined cylinder.
Why hand micrometer conforms to the principles of alignment and a vernier caliper does not?
micrometer conforms to abbe's principle because the graduations are located along the same axis as the measurement while vernier caliper does not because the graduations are not on the same axis as the measurement.
Why gauge glass do not break at boiler pressure?
Just like any material, it will have a pressure tolerance per square inch. For Most high pressure boilers the glass will be very small, often less than 1 square inch. This means that multipule gauges will be used together, one ontop of the other. They will be arranged in stack, collectivily known as a Boiler Gauge Glass, with each glass only showing part of the level in the drum.
What is the best piece of lab equipment for measuring exactly 43 mL of water?
You can use a graduated cyllinder or a big pipette of 50 mL.
What type of measurement would you use to find out if you have a fever or not?
You would use a thermometer to measure your temperature.
What is a tool for measuring and drawing angles?
A protractor is the common tool used in mathematics for measuring and drawing angles.
What type of micrometer is easiest to read?
A digital micrometer is the easiest to read as it displays the exact reading on a screen.
How do you rebuild a brake caliper on a 1967 Mustang?
Use compressed air with a shop towel as a cushion to blow the piston out. Inspect for pits and excessive corrosion, replace components if needed. Remove the brake bleeder and clean the port so fluid will pass through when bleeding the brakes. Remove the dust boot and seal. Use emery paper or a hone to clean the bore and piston. Clean thoroughly with brake cleaner and dry with compressed air. Install the new seal and coat it with brake fluid. Install the dust boot and piston (this part takes some practice) and re-install on car. Bleed system and check for leaks prior to test driving.
Why do astronomers use frequencies when investigating the universe?
It is because stars and other cosmic objects, radiate energy across the whole of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Why is a small bar magnet able to deflect a compass from Earth's large magnetic field?
The small bar magnet has a stronger magnetic field, at least at short distances.
How do you determine density of sphere with Vernier caliper?
Measure the diameter and from that calculate the volume, then determine the mass of the sphere on a weighing device. Then it's just
density = mass/volume
==========================
It again depends on the sphere whether its hollow or its a solid sphere
How do you measure the age of volcanic rock?
It can be estimated if the ages of rocks in layers above and below the volcanic rock are known.
It can be measured reasonably precisely using uranium-lead radioisotope dating as well as techniques based on alpha particle damage to crystals formed in the rock.
