Your friend states in a report that the average time required to circle a 1.5-mi track was 65.414 s. This was measured by timing

7 laps using a clock with a precision of 0.1 s. How much confidence do you have in the results of the report? Explain.

The time per lap was calculated by measuring the time for seven laps and dividing the total time by seven.

total time 65.414 s \times 7 =457.898 s.

It is given that the precision is of 0.1 s. it means it is correct upto 1 place beyond decimal.

So, the actual value could vary from 457.800 s to 457.899 s i.e. the time per lap could be 65.400 s to 65.414 s

It means measured time 65.414 s has maximum error of 0.021%. Hence, the measured value is quite precise.

A beam of electrons moving in the x-direction enters a region where a uniform 208-G magnetic field points in the y-direction. Th
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

1.26\cdot 10^7 m/s

Explanation:

When a charged particle moves perpendicularly to a magnetic field, the force it experiences is:

F=qvB

where

q is the charge

v is its velocity

B is the strength of the magnetic field

Moreover, the force acts in a direction perpendicular to the motion of the charge, so it acts as a centripetal force; therefore we can write:

qvB=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

m is the mass of the particle

r is the radius of the orbit of the particle

The equation can be re-arranges as

v=\frac{qBr}{m}

where in this problem we have:

q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C is the magnitude of the charge of the electron

B=208 G=208\cdot 10^{-4}T is the strength of the magnetic field

The beam penetrates 3.45 mm into the field region: therefore, this is the radius of the orbit,

r=3.45 mm = 3.45\cdot 10^{-3} m

m=9.11\cdot 10^{-31} kg is the mass of the electron

So, the electron's speed is

v=\frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(208\cdot 10^{-4})(3.45\cdot 10^{-3})}{9.11\cdot 10^{-31}}=1.26\cdot 10^7 m/s

Constants Modern wind turbines are larger than they appear, and despite their apparently lazy motion, the speed of the blades ti
nadezda [96]

It is given that the length of blade of the turbine is 58 m.

During the motion, the turbine will undergo rotational motion. Hence the radius of the circle traced by the turbine is equal to the length of the blade.

Hence radius r = 58 m.

The frequency of the turbine [f] =14 rpm.

Here rpm stands for rotation per minute.

Hence the frequency of the turbine in one second-

                                                      f=\frac{14}{60}\ s^-1

                                                      f=0.23333 Hz

Here Hz[ hertz] is the unit of frequency.

The angular velocity of the turbine \omega =2\pi f

                                                          \omega=2*3.14*0.2333

                                                          \omega=1.465124 radian/second

Now we have to calculate the centripetal  acceleration of the blade.

Let the linear velocity of the blade is v.

we know that  linear velocity v=ωr

The centripetal acceleration is calculated as-

                                                                      a_{c} =\frac{v^2}{r}

                                                                            =\frac{[\omega r]^2}{r}

                                                                            =\omega^2r

                                                                            =[1.465124]^2 *58

                                                                            =124.5021234 m/s^2      [ans]

When a substance is heated, the molecules begin to vibrate faster and the space between molecules increases. So it would be speeding up.
