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.

Choice A is correct.======Kinetic energy equation:   KE = (1/2)(m)(v²)This tells us that KE is directly proportional to mass and the square of velocity. In other words, the more mass and more velocity an object has, the more kinetic energy.If an object is sitting at the top of a ramp, there is no velocity and therefore no kinetic energy.    Choices B and D are wrong.A golf ball has more mass than a ping-pong ball, so a ping-pong ball would have less kinetic energy than a golf ball rolling off the end of a ramp.    Choice C is wrong.Choice A is correct.

Answer:

Question not completed, so I analysed the question first

Tony drove to the mountains last weekend. there was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 6 hours. when tony drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 4 hours. if his average rate was 22 miles per hour faster on the trip home, how far away does tony live from the mountains?

Explanation:

Let use variables to solve the problems

Let the first trip to be mountain take x hours

Let the trip back home take y hours

Let the speed to while going to the mountain be a miles/hour

Then, while going home it was b miles/hour faster than while going to the mountain.

Then, speed going home is (a+b)miles / hour

The formula for speed is given as

Speed=distance/time

The constant through out the journey is distance, the two journey has the same distance.

Then,

Distance =speed×time

For first journey going to the mountain

Distance = a×x=ax miles

For the second journey going home

Distance =y×(a+b)

Distance Mountain= distance home

ax=y(a+b)

Make a subject of the formula

ax=ya+yb

ax-ya=yb

a(x-y)=yb

a=yb/(x-y)

Therefore, distance from mountain is

Distance=speed ×time

Distance= a×x=ax

Now, applying the questions

So from the questions

x=6hours, y=4hours

Also, b=22miles/hour

Then,

a=yb/(x-y)

a=4×22/(6-4)

a=88/2

a=44miles/hour

Then, the house distance from the mountain is

Distance=ax

Distance =44×6

Distance =264miles

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

(a) 62.69 nJ/m^3

(b) 1015.22 μJ/m^3

Explanation:

Electric field, E = 119 V/m

Magnetic field, B = 5.050 x 10^-5 T

(a) Energy density of electric field = \frac{1}{2}\varepsilon _{0}E^{2}

          =\frac{1}{2}\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}\times 119\times 119

          = 6.269 x 10^-8 J/m^3 = 62.69 nJ/m^3

(b) energy density of magnetic field = \frac{B^{2}}{2\mu _{0}}

=\frac{\left ( 5.05\times 10^{-5} \right )^{2}}{2\times 4\times 3.14\times 10^{-7}}

= 1.01522 x 10^-3 J/m^3 = 1015.22 μJ/m^3
