a student measures the mass of a metal weight using three separate balances and collects the following data: 38.7g, 38.9g and 38

.6g. The actual mass of the weight is 34.2 g. Evaluate the accuracy and precision of this student's measurements.

The values are precise because the values are close together but they are not accurate because they are all far from the true value.

<h3>What is the accuracy and precision?</h3>

The term accuracy refers to how much close to the true or the actual value that a measurement is. The precision refer to how close together the values that are obtained in a series of measurements are.

Now, we have the values that were obtained as; 38.7g, 38.9g and 38.6g. We can see that values are precise because the values are close together but they are not accurate because they are all far from the true value.

A car has an acceleration of 1.5 m/s2. A net force of 2100 N is acting on the car. What is the mass of the car?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Given

acceleration (a) =1.5ms2

Force(F) =2100N

R. t. c mass (m) =?

Form

F=ma(divided by m both sides)

m=F/a

m=2100/105

m=1400kg

mass of car =1400kg

PLEAS HELP.
koban [17]

<span>A: put an atom on a poster in the exhibit
     Good luck.  The poster itself is made of trillions of trillions of trillions
     of atoms.  You could not see the extra one any easier than you could
     see the ones that are already there, and even if you could, it would be
     lost in the crowd.
 
B: use a life size drawing of an atom
     Good luck.  Nobody has ever seen an atom.  Atoms are too small
     to see.  That's a big part of the reason that nobody knew they exist
     until less than 200 years ago.

D: set up a microscope so that visitors can view atoms
     Good luck.  Atoms are way too small to see with a microscope.

</span><span><span>C: Display a large three dimensional model of an atom.
    </span> </span>Finally !  A suggestion that makes sense.
     If something is too big or too small to see, show a model of it
         that's just the right size to see.

una bala de 20 g choca con un fango como se muestra en la figura y penetra una distancia de 6 cm antes de detenerse. calcule la
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

A 20g bullet collides with a mud as shown in the figure and penetrates a distance of 6cm before stopping. calculate the braking force f if the input speed was 80m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

A bullet of mass

M = 20g = 0.02kg

The bullet is fired into a mud initially at rest

The bullet penetrate a distance of 6cm in the mud

S = 6cm = 0.06m

The input velocity into the mud is 80m/s, this implies that, the initial velocity is 80m/s

U = 80m/s

So, the bullet stop after a distance of 6cm, so the final velocity is 0m/s

V = 0m/s

So, we need to find the braking force

Breaking force (F) is given as

F = ma

Where m is mass and 'a' is deceleration

So, we need to find the deceleration, using equation of motion

V² = U² + 2as

0² = 80² + 2 × a × 0.06

0 = 6400 + 0.12a

0.12a = -6400

a = -6400 / 0.12

a = - 53,333.33 m/s²

So, the negative sign shows that the bullet is decelerating

So, a = 53,333.33 m/s²

So, breaking force

F = ma

F = 0.02 × 53,333.33

F = 1066.67 N

The breaking force is 1066.67 N

In spanish

Dado que,

Una bala de masa

M = 20 g = 0.02 kg

La bala se dispara en un lodo inicialmente en reposo

La bala penetra una distancia de 6 cm en el barro.

S = 6 cm = 0.06 m

La velocidad de entrada al lodo es de 80 m / s, esto implica que la velocidad inicial es de 80 m / s

U = 80 m / s

Entonces, la bala se detiene después de una distancia de 6 cm, por lo que la velocidad final es de 0 m / s

V = 0 m / s

Entonces, necesitamos encontrar la fuerza de frenado

La fuerza de ruptura (F) se da como

F = ma

Donde m es masa y 'a' es desaceleración

Entonces, necesitamos encontrar la desaceleración, usando la ecuación de movimiento

V² = U² + 2as

0² = 80² + 2 × a × 0.06

0 = 6400 + 0.12a

0.12a = -6400

a = -6400 / 0.12

a = - 53,333.33 m / s²

Entonces, el signo negativo muestra que la bala se está desacelerando

Entonces, a = 53,333.33 m / s²

Entonces, fuerza de ruptura

F = ma

F = 0.02 × 53,333.33

F = 1066.67 N

La fuerza de ruptura es 1066.67 N

oksano4ka [1.4K]
The answer is A. the same.

Since the container is sealed, their will be no loss of material from the container which means that the mass won’t vary.
