Answer: d. how close a measurement is to an accepted value for the measurement

Explanation:

Accuracy can be define as the quality or state of some measurement being correct depending upon the measurement, specific conformations and calculations. It refers to the closeness of the measurement to a define specific or acceptable value. It is the degree of correctness of a particular value obtain after the measurement.

A horizontal clothesline is tied between 2 poles, 12 meters apart. When a mass of 4 kilograms is tied to the middle of the cloth

Olegator [25]

Answer:

T=26.03 N

Explanation:

Given that

Distance between poles = 12 m

Mass of block m= 4 kg

Sag distance = 5 m

Lets take tension in the clothesline is T.

The component of tension in vertical direction will be T cosθ.

By force balancing

2 T cosθ = 40

here $tan\theta =\dfrac{5}{6}$

θ=39.80°

2 T cos39.8 = 40

T=26.03 N

An electron moving parallel to a uniform electric field increases its speed from 2.0 × 107 m/s to 4.0 × 107 m/s over a distance

jeka94

Answer:

$1.8\times 105 N/C$

Explanation:

We are given that

$u=2\times 10^7 m/s$

$v=4\times 10^7 m/s$

d=1.9 cm= $\frac{1.9}{100}=0.019 m$

Using 1m=100 cm

We have to find the electric field strength.

$v^2-u^2=2as$

Using the formula

$(4\times 10^7)^2-(2\times 10^7)^2=2a(0.019)$

$16\times 10^{14}-4\times 10^{14}=0.038a$

$0.038a=12\times 10^{14}$

$a=\frac{12}{0.038}\times 10^{14}=3.16\times 10^{16}m/s^2$

$q=1.6\times 10^{-19} C$

Mass of electron,m $=9.1\times 10^{-31} kg$

$E=\frac{ma}{q}$

Substitute the values

$E=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 3.16\times 10^{16}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

$E=1.8\times 105 N/C$

Find the distance in nm between two slits that produces the first minimum for 410-nm violet light at an angle of 14.5°.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

820 nm

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength= $\lambda=410 nm$

$\lambda=410\times 10^{-9} m$

$1nm=10^{-9} m$

$\theta=14.5^{\circ}$

For first minimum therefore

m=0

We know that for destructive interference

$(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda=dsin\theta$

Substitute the values

$(0+\frac{1}{2})\times 410\times 10^{-9}=dsin 14.5$

$d=\frac{410\times 10^{-9}}{2\times sin 14.5}$

$d=820\times 10^{-9} m=820 nm$

Hence, the distance between two slits that produces the first minimum=820 nm
