The answer to this is correct to the smallest division but like in chem won't we take it to the nearest HALF OF THE SMALLEST DIVISION?

In still air, a bird can fly at a speed of 10 m s–1. The wind is blowing from the east at 8.0 m s–1. In which direction must the bird fly in order to travel to a destination that is due north of the bird’s current location?
A 37° east of north
B 37° west of north
C 53° east of north
D 53° west of north

A 37° east of north
B 37° west of north
C 53° east of north
D 53° west of north
So they want the destination to be north of the bird's current location meaning that the resultant velocity must be vertically upwards. You draw a vector triangle based on the info that the resultant is directly upwards and the wind is blowing from the east. Then you use sin, cos or tan to find the angle. I would use sin since no further calculations would be needed to find the answer using sin. The angle will turn out to be 53, and you can determine the direction using your vector triangle(it will turn out to be west of north making the answer D).

Yup, answer is D because x=lamda(D)/a. So fringe separation is proportional to the lamda, so if you use a greater wavelength, you get greater fringe separation.
What if the width of the slits increased would that effect fringe separation?

i cant seem to understand these types of questions please help
The increase in current suggests that the total resistance of the circuit increased(R=V/I). Now the only way the resistance can increase is through the variable resistor. So the resistance of the variable resistor was increased, and you can determine how much pd it takes up using the potential divider formula,(r1/r1+r2)*Vtotal. You can use some values to figure out that the pd of the variable resistor would increase while pd for fixed resistor would decrease. So the voltmeter readings on Q increase and for P it decreases(B).

The three forces acting on a hot-air balloon that is moving vertically are its weight, the force due to air resistance and the upthrust force. The hot-air balloon descends vertically at constant speed. The force of air resistance on the balloon is F. Which weight of material must be released from the balloon so that it ascends vertically at the same constant speed?
A F
B 2F
C 3F
D 4F
