Answer: incosistent

Explanation: Hi, Measurement refers to the quantification of results obtained by using measurement tools.

Poor measurement practices are likely to lead to inaccurate results and inconsistent data.

To prevent inaccuracy is required to have a calibration program for the equipment used to determine a target's size, length, weight, capacity, or other aspect.

Measurement is fundamental to the sciences; to engineering, construction, and other technical fields; and to almost all everyday activities.

A car battery with a 12 V emf and an internal resistance of 0.11 Ω is being charged with a current of 56 A. What are (a) the pot

denpristay [2]

Answer:

Part a)

V = 18.16 V

Part b)

$P_r = 345 Watt$

Part c)

P = 672 Watt

Part d)

V = 5.84 V

Part e)

$P_r = 345 Watt$

Explanation:

Part a)

When battery is in charging mode

then the potential difference at the terminal of the cell is more than its EMF and it is given as

$\Delta V = E + i r$

here we have

$E = 12 V$

$i = 56 A$

$r = 0.11$

now we have

$\Delta V = 12 + (0.11)(56) = 18.16 V$

Part b)

Rate of energy dissipation inside the battery is the energy across internal resistance

so it is given as

$P_r = i^2 r$

$P_r = 56^2 (0.11)$

$P_r = 345 W$

Part c)

Rate of energy conversion into EMF is given as

$P_{emf} = i E$

$P_{emf} = (56)(12)$

$P_{emf} = 672 Watt$

Now battery is giving current to other circuit so now it is discharging

now we have

Part d)

$V = E - i r$

$V = 12 - (56)(0.11)$

$V = 12 - 6.16 = 5.84 V$

Part e)

now the rate of energy dissipation is given as

$P_r = i^2 r$

$P_r = 56^2 (0.11)$

$P_r = 345 W$

A 60 kg man jumps down from a 0.8 m table. What is the speed when he

Rom4ik [11]

Answer: Speed = 4 m/s

Explanation:

The parameters given are

Mass M = 60 kg

Height h = 0.8 m

Acceleration due to gravity g= 10 m/s2

Before the man jumps, he will be experiencing potential energy at the top of the table.

P.E = mgh

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

P.E = 60 × 9.8 × 0.8

P.E = 470.4 J

As he jumped from the table and hit the ground, the whole P.E will be converted to kinetic energy according to conservative of energy.

When hitting the ground,

K.E = P.E

Where K.E = 1/2mv^2

Substitute m and 470.4 into the formula

470.4 = 1/2 × 60 × V^2

V^2 = 470.4/30

V^2 = 15.68

V = square root (15.68)

V = 3.959 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the man when hitting the ground is approximately 4 m/s

Two particles, with charges of 20.0 nC and -20.0 nC, are fixed at points with coordinates <0, 4.00 cm> and <0, -4.00 cm

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy of the system of charges

= 9 x 10⁹ x [ q₁q₂ / r₁₂ + q₂q₃ / r₂₃ + q₁q₃ / r₁₃ ]

here r₁₂ , r₂₃ , r₁₃ are distance between 1 st and 2 nd charge , 2 nd and 3 rd charge and fist and third charge.

r₁₂ = 8 cm , r₂₃ = 4 cm , r₁₃ = 4 cm.

q₁ = 20 x 10⁻⁹ C , q₂ = - 20 x 10⁻⁹ C , q₃ = 10 x 10⁻⁹ C

Potential energy = 9 x 10⁹ x [ - 400 x 10⁻¹⁸ / .08 + -200x10⁻¹⁸ / .04 + 200 x 10¹⁸ / .04 ]

= 9 x 10⁹ x - 400 x 10⁻¹⁸ / .08

= 45 x 10⁻⁶ J .

Potential at the point of fourth charge due to three charges of 20 nC , - 20 nC and 10 nC at the centre

9 x 10⁹ [ 20 x 10⁻⁹ / .05 + - 20 x 10⁻⁹ / .05 + 10 x 10⁻⁹ / .03 ]

= 9 x 10⁹ x 10 x 10⁻⁹ / .03

= 3000 V .

potential energy of fourth particle = charge x potential

= 3000 x 40 x 10⁻⁹ = 12 x 10⁻⁵ J .

kinetic energy at infinity = 12 x 10⁻⁵ J

1/2 m v² = 12 x 10⁻⁵ J

.5 x 2 x 10⁻¹³ x v² = 12 x 10⁻⁵

v² = 12 x 10⁸

v = 3.46 x 10⁴ m/s

= 9 x 10⁹
