What do you mean by degradation of energy? Explain it by
taking one example of your daily life.
context: the following measurements were made to determine the density of a material whos value was, according to the handbook of chemistry and physics ,1.24 g/mL
Trial 1 1.20 g/mL
Trial 2 1.22 g/mL
Trial 3 1.22 g/mL
question: what may have caused these results? ( what might be a reason of these measurements match the known value of 1.24 g/mL?)
