Answer:

Generally errors are classified into three types: systematic errors, random errors and blunders. Gross errors are caused by mistake in using instruments or meters, calculating measurement and recording data results.Measurement Error (also called Observational Error) is the difference between a measured quantity and its true value. It includes random error (naturally occurring errors that are to be expected with any experiment) and systematic error (caused by a mis-calibrated instrument that affects all measurements).

Two 110 kg bumper cars are moving toward each other in opposite directions. Car A is moving at 8 m/s and Car Z at –10 m/s when t

salantis [7]

Explanation:

Mass of bumper cars, $m_1=m_2=110\ kg$

Initial speed of car A, $u_1=8\ m/s$

Initial speed of car Z, $u_2=-10\ m/s$

Final speed of car A after the collision, $v_1=-10\ m/s$

We need to find the velocity of car Z after the collision. Let it is equal to $v_2$ . Using the conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

$110\times 8+110\times (-10)=110\times (-10)+110v_2$

$v_2=\dfrac{-1320}{110}\ m/s$

$v_2=-12\ m/s$

So, the velocity of car Z after the collision is (-12 m/s). Hence, this is the required solution.

The train passes point A with a speed of 30 m/s and begins to decrease its speed at a constant rate of at = - 0.25 m/s^2. Determ

prisoha [69]

Explanation:

At point B, the velocity speed of the train is as follows.

$\nu^{2}_{B} = \nu^{2}_{A} + 2a_{t} (s_{B} - s_{A})$

= $(30)^{2} + 2(-0.25(412 - 0))$

= 26.34 m/s

Now, we will calculate the first derivative of the equation of train.

y = $200 e^{\frac{x}{1000}}$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 0.2 e^{\frac{x}{1000}}$

Now, second derivative of the train is calculated as follows.

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 0.2 e^{\frac{x}{1000}}$

$\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}} = 0.2 (10^{-3}) e^{\frac{x}{1000}}$

Radius of curvature of the train is as follows.

$\rho = \frac{[1 + (\frac{dy}{dx})^{2}]^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}}$

= $\frac{[1 + 0.2e^{\frac{400}{1000}}^{2}]^{\frac{3}{2}}}{0.2(10^{-3})e^{\frac{400}{1000}}}$

= 3808.96 m

Now, we will calculate the normal component of the train as follows.

$a_{n} = \frac{\nu^{2}_{B}}{\rho}$

= $\frac{(26.34)^{2}}{3808.96}$

= 0.1822 $m/s^{2}$

The magnitude of acceleration of train is calculated as follows.

a = $\sqrt{(a_{t})^{2} + (a_{n})^{2}}$

= $\sqrt{(-0.25)^{2} + (0.1822)^{2}}$

= $0.309 m/s^{2}$

Thus, we can conclude that magnitude of the acceleration of the train when it reaches point B, where sAB = 412 m is $0.309 m/s^{2}$ .

Is (kr) an element a compound or a mixture?

Xelga [282]

Krypton ... symbol Kr ... is an element. It's element number 36, because
there are 36 protons in the nucleus of every atom of Krypton.

Krypton has nothing to do with Superman, except that about 75 years ago,
the creators of Superman thought it was a cool-sounding scientific word,
so they chose it for the name of his home planet.
