You look down an old well, cannot see the bottom, and mutter to yourself "Oh well!". In order to estimate the depth of the well,

you then drop five stones and record the time for each to impact: 2.19s, 2.30s, 2.26s, 2.29s, and 2.27s. What is the best estimate of the depth of the well? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

The best estimate of the depth of the well is 2.3 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Record time,

t_{1}=2.19\ sec

t_{2}=2.30\ sec

t_{3}=2.26\ sec

t_{4}=2.29\ sec

t_{5}=2.27\ sec

We need to find the best estimate of the depth of the well

According to record time,

We can write of the record time

t_{1}=2.19\approx 2.2\ sec

t_{2}=2.30\approx 2.3\ sec

t_{3}=2.26\approx 2.3\ sec

t_{4}=2.29\approx 2.3\ sec

t_{5}=2.27\approx 2.3\ sec

Here, all time is nearest 2.3 sec.

So, we can say that the best estimate of the depth of the well is 2.3 sec.

Hence, The best estimate of the depth of the well is 2.3 sec.

If the IMA of a machine is 2 and the effort force is 50 newtons, then the force applied to the resistance is _____. 48 N 50 N 25
zysi [14]

IMA stands for ideal mechanical advantage, which is the theoretical force amplification factor on an ideal mechanical device free of friction, deformations, etc.


If the applied force (effort) is 50N, then the force applied to the resistance is multiplied by the IMA=2 to get 100N.

What is the acceleration of an object with a constant velocity
valina [46]

Zero.

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over time.

Since in your case there is no change, there is no acceleration, so it is zero:

Or in formula: <span>a=<span><span>Δv</span>t</span></span>

Where a=acceleration, <span>Δv</span>=change in velocity and t=time

Kiley went 5.7 km/h north and then went 5.8 km/h west. From start to finish, she went 8.1 km/h northwest.
TiliK225 [7]
<span>5.7 km/h north and 5.8 km/h west are instantaneous velocities, while 8.1 km/h is the average velocity.

This is because each value has a magnitude and direction so it is a velocity. Moreover, the 8.1 km/h is the resultant of the two velocities so it is the average while the other two are instantaneous.</span>
