If they align the object at the very edge of the ruler, the measurement in inaccurate. They would have to start the measurement at 0 to get an accurate measurement. When starting at the very edge, you are not taking into account the little bit of the ruler and it between the edge of the ruler and the 0 marker.
Some people start at the 1 cm mark (and then subtract 1 from their raw measurement) to make sure they have the most accurate measurement they can get.
I'm pretty sure that is what you are talking about. Hope this helps!!
Answer:
m = 30, g = 9.8, coefficient = 0.2, so force due to friction = 30 x 9.8 x 0.2 = 58.8 N, so work done by friction = 58.8 x 1.2 = 70.56 J
Explanation:
<span>1. We can learn what types of organisms lived at what times and where they lived.
2. We can learn about when certain groups of animals evolved and what their ancestors were like.
3. We can learn how the continents drifted by comparing where fossil species have been found (for example, a species that was found in Africa and South America but couldn't cross an ocean would tell us that Africa and South America used to be connected.
4. We can learn about organisms that no longer exist, including what they ate and looked like, how big they were, and other traits.</span>
Answer:
See answer below
Explanation:
Hi there,
To get started, recall the Center of Mass formula for two masses:
where m is mass and x is displacement <em>from the center of the shape.</em>
Since masses at the center of a geometric shape have a displacement (x) value of 0, as the mass is already of the center, and does not affect Xcm. So, we can disregard the central mass, hence we use the above formula for two masses.
We can arbitrarily define left to be a negative (-) displacement, and vice versa for right direction. We proceed with the formula:
Since we defined left (-) and right (+), we notice the center of mass is (+) value. This makes sense, as there is slightly more mass on the right side. Hence, you should place a support 1/6 of the rod's length away from the rod's center.
Study well and persevere.
thanks,
