a student measures the speed of yellow light in water to be 2.00 x 10(to the 8th power) meters per second, 1.87 x 10(to the 8th

power) meters per second, and 2.39 x 10(to the 8th power) meters per second. if the accepted value for the speed is 2.25 x 10(to the 8th power) meters per second, the students measurements are 1) precise, only 2) accurate, only 3)both precise and accurate 4)neither precise nor accurate

<span>3) Neither precise or accurate. This is because of the deviation between the measurements, they vary and are not within a good range. And they are not close to the accepted value. In order to be precise the measurements have to be relatively close to each other, and to be accurate they have to be close to the accepted value.</span>

Two engineering students, John with a weight of 96 kg and Mary with a weight of 48 kg, are 30 m apart. Suppose each has a 0.04%
djyliett [7]

Answer:

6.8370869499\times 10^{20}\ N

Explanation:

N_A = Avogadro's number = 6.022\times 10^{23}

e = Charge of electron = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Z = Atomic number of water = 18

M = Molar mass of water = 0.018 kg/mol

m = Mass of person

The charge is given by

q=imbalance\times n\times e

Total number of protons and electrons in each sphere

n=\dfrac{mN_AZe}{M}

q=imbalance\times \dfrac{mN_AZe}{M}

q_1=0.0004\times \dfrac{96\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\times 18\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.018}\\\Rightarrow q_1=3699916.8\ C

q_2=0.0004\times \dfrac{48\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\times 18\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.018}\\\Rightarrow q_1=1849958.4\ C

Electrical force is given by

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^{9}\times 3699916.8\times 1849958.4}{30^2}\\\Rightarrow F=6.8370869499\times 10^{20}\ N

The electrostatic force of attraction between them is 6.8370869499\times 10^{20}\ N

A 48.0-kg skater is standing at rest in front of a wall. By pushing against the wall she propels herself backward with a velocit
Kipish [7]

Answer:

F = 47.6 N

Explanation:

  • Newton's 2nd law can be expressed as the rate of change of the total momentum, respect of time, as follows:

       F = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

  • So, in order to find the average force exerted by the skater on the wall, we can find the change in momentum due to the force exerted by the wall (which is equal and opposite to the one exerted by the skater), and  divide it by the time interval , as follows:

       F_{wall} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} =\frac{(48.0 kg*(-1.06m/s)}{1.07s} = -47.6 N

       ⇒ Fsk = 47.6 N (normal to the wall)
