The length of time over which the conditions are measured

Explanation:

Weather captures the daily atmospheric conditions over a short duration hence it is short-term. Climate is the average of weather and covers a longer duration hence long-term. Therefore, what differentiatea these two is the length of time over which the conditions are measured.

A student took a calibrated 250.0 gram mass, weighed it on a laboratory balance, and found it read 266.5 g. What was the student
Kruka [31]

Answer:

B. 6.6%

Explanation:

The percentage error of a measurement can be calculated using the formula;

Percent error = (experimental value - accepted value / accepted value) × 100

In this question, the calibrated 250.0 gram mass is the accepted value while the weighed mass of 266.5 g is the experimental or measured value.

Hence, the percentage error can be calculated thus;

Percent error = (266.5-250.0/250.0) × 100

Percent error = 16.5/250 × 100

Percent error = 0.066 × 100

Percent error = 6.6%

A 0.03 kg golf ball is hit off the tee at a speed of 34 m/s. The golf club was in contact with the ball for 0.003 s. What is the
Liula [17]

Answer:

The average force on ball by the golf club is 340 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the golf ball, m = 0.03 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 0

Final speed of the ball, v = 34 m/s

Time of contact, \Delta t=0.003\ s

We need to find the average force on ball by the golf club. We know that the rate of change of momentum is equal to the net external force applied such that :

F=\dfrac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\dfrac{mv-mu}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\dfrac{mv}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\dfrac{0.03\ kg\times 34\ m/s}{0.003\ s}\\\\F=340\ N

So, the average force on ball by the golf club is 340 N.
