A 5 cm / elapsed time

B 5 m/ elapsed time

C D elapsed time / 5 cm elapsed time / 5 m

5. The main reason we repeat our measurements is

to decrease the reliability

ABCD to increase the precision

to increase the reliability

D to decrease the precision

Answer 1

1) D, 2) D, 3) B, 4) B, 5) C

Step-by-step explanation:

You are asked to select the correct answer

1) The conservation of energy is one of the most important principles of physics that allows solving countless problems in life.

the correct answer is D

2) when a body falls, the gravitational potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy and both are transformed into thermal energy

the correct answer is D

3) When the gravitational potential energy is maximum, the kinetic energy is minimum and when the kinetic energy is maximum, the gravitational energy is minimum.

Correct answer B

4) speed is defined by

v = x / t

so the correct answer is B in the SI system

5) when we repeat a measurement several times, the random or statistical errors decrease, therefore the confidence of the measurement increases.

The correct answer is C
