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 ball of mass 0.120 kg is dropped from rest from a height of 1.25 m. It rebounds from the floor to reach a height of 0.820 m. W
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

1.0752 kgm/s

Explanation:

Considering when the drop was dropped from rest from a height,

mass of the ball, m = 0.120 kg

height, h = - 1.25 m

the initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

the acceleration due to gravity, g = - 9.8 m/s²

From equation of motion

                            V^{2} = U^{2} + 2gh

Substituting the values,

                             V^{2} = 0^{2} + 2(-9.8 m/s^{2})(-1.25 m)

                             V^{2} = 24.5 m/s

                             V = \sqrt{24.5} \ m/s

                             V = 4.95 \ m/s

                            V = ± 4.95 m/s

                            V = - 4.95 m/s

Since the ball is moving downward, the final velocity of the ball when it hits the floor is  V = - 4.95 m/s  

Considering when the ball rebounds from the floor,

assume the mass of the ball still remain, m = 0.120 kg

height, h = 0.820 m

the final velocity, v = 0 m/s  

the acceleration due to gravity, g = - 9.8 m/s²

From equation of motion

                            V^{2} = U^{2} + 2gh

Substituting the values,

                            0^{2} = U^{2} + 2(-9.8 m/s^{2})(0.820 m)

                            0 = U^{2} - 16.072 m/s

                            U^{2} = 16.072 m/s

                            U = \sqrt{16.072} \ m/s

                           U = ± 4.01 m/s

                          U = + 4.01 m/s

Since the ball is moving upward, the initial velocity of the ball from the bounce from the floor is  U = + 4.01 m/s                        

From Newton's second law of motion, applied force is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum.

                            F = \frac{mv - mu}{t}

                          F.t = m(v - u)

       ⇒      Impulse = Change in momentum

To calculate the impulse, the moment before the ball hits the ground will be the initial momentum while the moment the ball rebounces will be the final velocity,                        

          ∴          F.t = 0.120  kg(4.01  m/s - (-4.95  m/s) )

                      F.t = 0.120  kg(4.01  m/s + 4.95  m/s) )

                      F.t = 0.120  kg × 8.96  m/s

                      Impulse  = 1.0752 kgm/s

The impulse given to the ball by the floor is 1.0752 kgm/s

The position of a particle is given by ~r(t) = (3.0 t2 ˆi + 5.0 ˆj j 6.0 t kˆ) m
Julli [10]

Answer:

v=(6ti+6k)\ m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The position of a particle is given by :

r(t) = (3.0 t^2 i + 5.0j+ 6.0 tk) m

Let us assume we need to find its velocity.

We know that,

v=\dfrac{dr}{dt}\\\\=\dfrac{d}{dt}(3.0 t^2 i + 5.0j+ 6.0 tk) \\\\=(6ti+6k)\ m/s

So, the velocity of the particle is (6ti+6k)\ m/s.

Bulky is working at a UPS loading dock. He boasts he can lift a 154 kg box 4 meters in 30
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: Power is 200 W

Explanation: Power P = work done / time used.

P = W/t = mgh/t = 154 kg · 9.81 m/s²· 4 m / 30 s = 201 W

Mike walks 200 km in 6 hours.he then walks another 100km in 4 hours .what is his average speed?
kolbaska11 [484]

Average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance covered in total given time

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

here we know that total distance that man moved is

d_1 = 200 km

d_2 = 100 km

so total distance is

d = d_1 + d_2

d = 200 km + 100 km

d = 300 km

now here total time of the motion is

t_1 = 6 hours

t_2 = 4 hours

total time will be given as

t = t_1 + t_2

t = 6 + 4 = 10 hours

now by above formula

v_{avg} = \frac{300}{10}

v_{avg} = 30 km/h

so his average speed is 30 km/h
