Answer:

True

Explanation:

Accuracy indicates how close to the true measurement you actually are.

Let us understand this with an example.

If a rod produced by a manufacturer has a specification of 1 meter length and after measuring it you also get 1 m length then the measurement is highly accurate.

There is another term called precision which is used in the same sense as accuracy called precision but they do not have the same meaning. Precision refers to how close in the measurements you are while taking multiple readings.

A pencil rolls horizontally of a 1 meter high desk and lands .25 meters from the base of the desk. How fast was the pencil rolli

vovikov84 [41]

Answer: 0.55 m/s

Explanation:

This situation is related to projectile motion (also called parabolic motion), where the main equations are as follows:

$x=V_{o} cos\theta t$ (1)

$y=y_{o}+Vo sin \theta t + \frac{g}{2}t^{2}$ (2)

Where:

$x=0.25 m$ is the horizontal displacement of the pencil

$V_{o}$ is the pencil's initial velocity

$\theta=0\°$ since we are told the pencil rolls <u>horizontally</u> before falling

$t$ is the time since the pencil falls until it hits the ground

$y_{o}=1 m$ is the initial height of the pencil

$y=0$ is the final height of the pencil (when it finally hits the ground)

$g=-9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity, always acting vertically downwards

Begining with (1):

$x=V_{o} cos(0\°) t$ (3)

$x=V_{o}t$ (4)

Finding $t$ from (2):

$0=1 m+ \frac{-9.8m/s^{2}}{2}t^{2}$ (5)

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{o}}{g}}$ (6)

Substituting (6) in (4):

$x=V_{o}\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{o}}{g}}$ (7)

Isolating $V_{o}$ :

$V_{o}=\frac{x}{\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{o}}{g}}}$ (8)

$V_{o}=\frac{0.25 m}{\sqrt{\frac{-2(1 m)}{-9.8m/s^{2}}}}$ (9)

Finally:

$V_{o}=0.55 m/s$

What is the mass of a crate if a net force of 12 N gives the crate an acceleration of 0.20 m/s2?

Veseljchak [2.6K]

A :-) for this question , we should apply
F = ma
Given - F = 12 N
a = 0.20 m/s^2
Solution -
F = ma
12 = m x 0.20
m = 12 by 0.20
m = 60 kg

.:. The mass is 60 kg.
