Answer:

Accuracy is ‘the state of being correct’ and on the other hand precision is ‘the state of being exact.

Explanation:

Accuracy shows the nearness of the measurement with the actual measurement while precision shows the nearness of an individual measurement with other measurements.

Accuracy focuses on the errors caused by the problem in the instrument. while precision is concerned with errors, which occurs periodically with no recognizable pattern.

If the measurement is precise but inaccurate, the result will not be the expected one. And if the result is accurate but imprecise, then there are huge variations in the measurements. And finally, if the actual measurement is neither accurate nor precise, then the result would not have correctness and exactness at the same time.

Accuracy is a general concept while precision is more of a mathematical concept.

$2.31531\times 10^{-16}\ N$

Explanation:

When it comes to charges, the charges which are alike repel each other and the charges which are different will attract each other.

Here, there is a proton and electron which are different particles hence, they will attract each other.

$q_1=q_2$ = Charge of electron and proton = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

r = Distance between them = 997 nm

k = Coulomb constant = $8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Force is given by

$F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{(997\times 10^{-9})^2}\\\Rightarrow F=2.31531\times 10^{-16}\ N$

The force of attraction between the particles will be $2.31531\times 10^{-16}\ N$

Mademuasel [1]

We can solve the problem by requiring the equilibrium of the forces and the equilibrium of torques.

1) Equilibrium of forces:
$T_1 - W_p - W_s + T_2 =0$
where
$W_p = (90kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=883 N$ is the weight of the person
$W_s = (200kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=1962 N$ is the weight of the scaffold
Re-arranging, we can write the equation as
$T_1 = 2845 N-T_2$ (1)

2) Equilibrium of torques:
$T_1 \cdot 3 m - W_p \cdot 2 m - T_2 \cdot 3m =0$
where 3 m and 2 m are the distances of the forces from the center of mass of the scaffold.
Using $W_p = 883 N$ and replacing T1 with (1), we find
$2845 N \cdot 3 m - T_2 \cdot 3 m - 833 N \cdot 2 m - T_2 \cdot 3 m=0$
from which we find
$T_2 = 1128 N$

And then, substituting T2 into (1), we find
$T_1 = 1717 N$

Julio hit a baseball. What caused the ball to change direction at the time of impact?

WARRIOR [948]

The answer is c. the force of his swing

At the time of the impact, there is a collision between two bodies moving in opposite directions.

The force exerted on the ball causes the change of velocity.
