Answer:

To minimize the practical errors and improve the accuracy.

Explanation:

  • Scientists take several measurements and use the average of all the measured values to minimize the practical errors due to unavoidable circumstances and be close to the true value.
  • True value is the actual value of a measured parameter without any error, it is the value which is proposed in the design of a certain object.
  • Variations may occur in the measurement due to wear and tear, dust and air pressure. It is almost impossible to create ideal surrounding for the measurement procedure.

Evaluate the final kinetic energy of the supply spacecraft for the actual tractor beam force, F(x)=αx3+β .
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

7.5 × 10^9 J.

Explanation:

So, we are given the following data or parameters or information for the proper solving of the question above;

=> ''actual force exerted by the tractor beam as a function of position is given by F(x) = ax + , where a = 6.1 x 10 N/mº and B = -4.1 x 10° N''

=> " Assume the supply spacecraft had an initial kinetic energy of KE = 2.7 x 10" J "

=> "that the tractor beam force is applied on the spacecraft over a distance of 7.5 x 10^11 m away.from its beginning position at = 0.0 m"

So, we can then solve it as;

KE2 – KE1 = F(x) dr.

KE2 - 2.7 x 10^11 J = - 3.5 × 10^6 × 7.5 x 10^4.

KE2 = 7.5 × 10^9 J.

Why is mercury not suitable as the liquid in the U-tube? (the relationship between density of the liquid and the pressure in the
adoni [48]
Mercury Is more suitable than water cause it is denser than water.

Relation between density and pressure

Pressure = force/area

Replace force by mass * acceleration
Pressure = mass * acceleration/ area

We can replace mass by density * volume since density = mass/ volume
Pressure = density * volume * acceleration/ area

Volume is length^3 whereas area is length ^2. So volume / area = length

Pressure = density * length * acceleration

Gravity is form of acceleration so

Pressure = density * length * gravity
Length can be height or depth

Finally pressure = density * height * gravity

P = ρ g h => pressure of liquid

konstantin123 [22]
This question is not about physics science.

The answer is: option <span>a. Five-year-old children have longer attention spans than three-year-old children.

It is the attention ability what let the older children to stay longer in one location instead of being moving between different activities. The younger children who cannot keep their attention long time in a same activity entertain themselves by changing activities.

It takes brooke 10minutes to run 1 mile what is her speed in miles per minutes
hjlf

If you divide miles by minutes, the answer will have units of
miles per minute, which is exactly what you want.

(1 mile) / (10 minutes) = 1/10  mile/minute = 0.1 mile per minute

Does the voltage of a battery affect the strength of an electromagnet?
swat32

I'm trying to make an electromagnet that's strength is constantly getting incremented by small amounts every second. I need to know, which would have a greater effect on the electromagnet's strength, amps or volts? (I know increasing the turns and/or density of the magnet wire will increase the strength, but I am looking for answers other than that particular one.)
