Answer:

C.

Explanation:

A meter is 8.56 centimeters longer than a yard. Something to keep in mind is that a meter is about 10% longer than a yard.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

C. 8.56cm

Explanation:

Since we are to get the difference of cord length in centimeter, there fore we will have to convert the one yard and one metre length of wires to centimeters.

For 1m length of cord

1m = 100cm

For 1yard length of cord

1yard = 91.44cm

Difference in cord length = 100cm - 91.44cm

= 8.56cm

You have a set of calipers that can measure thicknesses of a few inches with an uncertainty of ± 0.005 inches. You measure the t
Bond [772]

Answer:

a) x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in , b) the number of decks is 5

Explanation:

a) The thickness of the deck of cards (d) is measured and the thickness of a card (x) is calculated

        x = d / 52

        x = 0.590 / 52

        x = 0.011346 in

Let's look for uncertainty

       Δx = dx /dd Δd

       Δx = 1/52 Δd

       Δx = 1/52  0.005

       Δx = 0.0001 in

The result of the calculation is

        x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in

b) You want to reduce the error to Δx = 0.00002, the number of cards to be measured is

           #_cards = n 52

The formula for thickness is

           x = d / n 52

Uncertainty

          Δx = 1 / n 52  Δd

         n = 1/52 Δd / Δx

         n = 1/52 0.005 / 0.00002

         n = 4.8

Since the number of decks must be an integer the number of decks is 5

an automobile engineer found that the impact of a truck colliding at 16 km/h with a concrete pillar caused the bumper to indent
Zolol [24]
<span>To find the acceleration we are given two facts to begin. The impact at 16 km/h and the dent of 6.4 cm, or 0.064 meters. In solving the problem uniform acceleration is assumed, which would mean the avg speed during the impact was 8 km/hr by taking 16/2. We know distance = rate*time (d=r*t) . So t = d / r, so 0.64/8 = 0.008hr for t. Now we can solve for acceleration by taking a = 16 / 0.008 = 2000 km/hr.</span>

A baseball has mass 0.147 kg. If the velocity of a pitched ball has a magnitude of 44.5 m/s and the batted ball's velocity is 55
Anit [1.1K]

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a baseball is 0.147 kg

Initial velocity of the baseball is 44.5 m/s

The ball is moved in the opposite direction with a velocity of 55.5 m/s

It is required to find the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ball and of the impulse applied to it by the bat.

Change in momentum,

\Delta p=mv-mu\\\\\Delta p=m(v-u)\\\\\Delta p=0.147\times ((-55.5)-44.5)\\\\\Delta p=-14.7\ kg-m/s\\\\|\Delta p|=14.7\ kg-m/s

Impulse = 14.7 kg-m/s

Therefore, the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ball and of the impulse applied to it by the bat is 14.7 kg-m/s

If a sound with frequency fs is produced by a source traveling along a line with speed vs. If an observer is traveling with spee
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

457.81 Hz

Explanation:

From the question, it is stated that it is a question under Doppler effect.

As a result, we use this form

fo = (c + vo) / (c - vs) × fs

fo = observed frequency by observer =?

c = speed of sound = 332 m/s

vo = velocity of observer relative to source = 45 m/s

vs = velocity of source relative to observer = - 46 m/s ( it is taking a negative sign because the velocity of the source is in opposite direction to the observer).

fs = frequency of sound wave by source = 459 Hz

By substituting the the values to the equation, we have

fo = (332 + 45) / (332 - (-46)) × 459

fo = (377/ 332 + 46) × 459

fo = (377/ 378) × 459

fo = 0.9974 × 459

fo = 457.81 Hz

An object travels 7.5 m/s toward the west . Under the influence of a constant net force of 5.2 kN, it comes to rest in 3.2 s. Wh
Softa [21]

Answer:

m = 2218.67 kg

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity, u = 7.5 m/s

Final speed of an object, v = 0 (at rest)

Force, F = 5.2 kN

Time, t = 3.2 s

We need to find the mass of the object. Force acting on an object is given by :

F = ma

m is mass, a is acceleration

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\m=\dfrac{Ft}{v-u}\\\\m=\dfrac{5.2\times 10^3\times 3.2}{0-7.5}\\\\m=2218.67\ kg

So, the mass of the object is 2218.67 kg
