Which is greater, the gravitational force between earth and the moon, or the force between earth and the sun?

In an experiment to measure the acceleration due to gravity, g two values, 9.96 m/s2 and 9.72 m/s2 , are determined. Find (1) th

alexira [117]

Answer:

(1) Percent Difference = 2.47%

(2) Percent Error (9.96 m/s²) = 1.63 %

Percent Error (9.72 m/s²) = 0.82 %

(3) Percent Error (Mean) = 0.41 %

Explanation:

(1)

Percent Difference = [(9.96 m/s² - 9.72 m/s²)/(9.72 m/s²)]*100 %

Percent Difference = 2.47%

(2)

Percent Error = (|Measured Value - Original Value|/Original Value)*100%

Therefore,

Percent Error (9.96 m/s²) = (|9.96 m/s² - 9.8 m/s²|/9.8 m/s²)*100%

Percent Error (9.96 m/s²) = 1.63 %

Now,

Percent Error (9.72 m/s²) = (|9.72 m/s² - 9.8 m/s²|/9.8 m/s²)*100%

Percent Error (9.72 m/s²) = 0.82 %

(3)

First we need to find the mean of values:

Mean = (9.96 m/s² + 9.72 m/s²)/2

Mean = 9.84 m/s²

Therefore,

Percent Error (Mean) = (|9.84 m/s² - 9.8 m/s²|/9.8 m/s²)*100%

Percent Error (Mean) = 0.41 %

Four wires are made of the same highly resistive material, cut to the same length, and connected in series. Wire 1 has resistanc

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

$V_2 = \frac{R_2 V_0}{R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4}$

Explanation:

The 4 wires are connected in series: this means that the same current flow through them, and the voltage of the battery, V0, is equal to the sum of the voltages on each individual resistor:

$V_0=V_1+V_2+V_3+V_4$

Also, the equivalent resistance of the series circuit is

$R_{eq}=R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4$

The voltage V2 across wire 2 is given by Ohm's law:

$V_2 = R_2 I$ (1)

where I is the total current in the circuit, which is given by:

$I=\frac{V_0}{R_{eq}}=\frac{V_0}{R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4}$

Substituting this into eq. (1), we find an expression for V2:

$V_2 = \frac{R_2 V_0}{R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4}$

If a vector A has components A. 0, and Ay -0, then the magnitude of the vector is negative. Select one: True False

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The magnitude of any vector is given by,

$||A||=\sqrt{A_x^2+A_y^2}$

The magnitude of anything is never negative. It can be even seen from the formula that the components are squared. A squared value can never be negative. Even if the component is negative the square will be always positive.

So, magnitude of the vector is not negative.

If the temperature of water warming on a hot plate rises 10 degrees Celsius [°C], what is the change in temperature in units of

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Delta_temp = 18[°F]

Explanation:

°F = 9/5*(10)

°F = 18

Note: It is important to clarify that it is only a temperature increase, that it is only a temperature increase. The question is not related to converting from 10°C to fahrenheit degrees
