Which is more reliable—using a manual stop watch or using light gates? Explain.

1 answer:

7 0

Light gates are more reliable. When using a manual stop watch, it is difficult to stop it at an exact time. A light gate is able to detect when an object passes through a 'gate' with the infrared transmitter and receiver.

The law of conservation of mass states that mass can never be created or destroyed, only changed. true or faulse

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction mass is neither created nor destroyed. For example, the carbon atom in coal becomes carbon dioxide when it is burned. The carbon atom changes from a solid structure to a gas but its mass does not change.

A particle with mass 1.81×10−3 kg and a charge of 1.22×10−8 C has, at a given instant, a velocity v⃗ =(3.00×104m/s)j^. What are

slava [35]

Answer:

The magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the particle is $a= 0.3296\ \hat{k}\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass $m = 1.81\times10^{-3}\ kg$

Velocity $v = (3.00\times10^{4}\ m/s)j$

Charge $q = 1.22\times10^{-8}\ C$

Magnetic field $B= (1.63\hat{i}+0.980\hat{j})\ T$

We need to calculate the acceleration of the particle

Formula of the acceleration is defined as

$F = ma=q(v\times B)$

$a =\dfrac{q(v\times B)}{m}$

We need to calculate the value of $v\times B$

$v\times B=(3.00\times10^{4}\ m/s)j\times(1.63\hat{i}+0.980\hat{j})$

$v\times B=4.89\times10^{4}$

Now, put the all values into the acceleration 's formula

$a =\dfrac{1.22\times10^{-8}\times(-4.89\times10^{4}\hat{k})}{1.81\times10^{-3}}$

$a= -0.3296\ \hat{k}\ m/s^2$

Negative sign shows the opposite direction.

Hence, The magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the particle is $a= 0.3296\ \hat{k}\ m/s^2$

Please help :/ The same motor is used in rockets with different masses. The rockets have different accelerations. According to N

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

1. As rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases.

2. The inverse of the mass of the boat.

Explanation:

1. Newton's second law of motion states;

F = ma

where F is the force applied, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

Therefore, increasing the mass of a rocket increases its weight which would reduce its acceleration provided that the force is constant. Thus, as rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases.

2. The slope of the graph can be expressed as;

From Newton's second law,

F = ma

Slope = (Δa) ÷ (ΔF)

Slope = $\frac{a}{F}$
