6 0

Answer:

The percent error in his estimation is 30%

Explanation:

Percentage error = |UA- UE| \ UE × 100

UA= Actual value = 7 pounds

UE = Expected value = 10 pounds

Percent error of his estimate = ∣7-10∣ / 10 ×100

= ∣-3∣ / 10 × 100

= 30%

The two masses in the Atwood's machine shown in the figure are initially at rest at the same height. After they are released, th
Inga [223]

According to the description given in the photo, the attached figure represents the problem graphically for the Atwood machine.

To solve this problem we must apply the concept related to the conservation of energy theorem.

PART A ) For energy conservation the initial kinetic and potential energy will be the same as the final kinetic and potential energy, so

E_i = E_f

0 = \frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_f^2-m_2gh+m_1gh

v_f = \sqrt{2gh(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})}

PART B) Replacing the values given as,

h= 1.7m\\m_1 = 3.5kg\\m_2 = 4.3kg \\g = 9.8m/s^2 \\

v_f = \sqrt{2gh(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})}

v_f = \sqrt{2(9.8)(1.7)(\frac{4.3-3.5}{3.5+4.3})}

v_f = 1.8486m/s

Therefore the speed of the masses would be 1.8486m/s

Deep in the interiors of the giant planets, water is still a liquid even though the temperatures are tens of thousands of degree
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

High pressure inside the giant planet

Explanation:

As we move in the interior of the giant planet, the pressure and temperature in the interior of the planet increases. Since, the giant planets have hardly any solid surface and thus they are mostly constituted of atmosphere.

Also, the gravitational forces keep even the lightest of the matter bound in it contributing to the large mass of the planet.

If we look at the order of the magnitude of the temperature of these giant planets than nothing should be able to stay in liquid form but as the depth of the planet increases with the increase in temperature, pressure also increases which keeps the particle of the matter in compressed form.

Thus even at such high order of magnitude water is still found in liquid state in the interior of the planet.

A 50 kg bobsled slides down an ice track
STatiana [176]

Hi there!

We can use the following kinematic equation:

v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2ad

The initial velocity is 0 m/s, so:

v_f^2 = 2ad

vf = final velocity (? m/s)
a = acceleration due to gravity (g)
d = vertical height (m)

Plug in the givens and solve:

v_f = \sqrt{2gd} = \sqrt{2(9.8)(173)} = \boxed{58.23 \frac{m}{s}}
