Some wooden rulers do not start with 0 at the edge, but have it set in a few millimeters. How could this improve the accuracy of

the ruler?

It is possible for a wooden ruler to be worn out at the edge. If such a ruler is used for measurement, there will be error in the measurement due to the inaccuracy of the ruler. To avoid this, some rulers do not start with zero at the edge.

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The heat is 10458 J and 15480 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature T₁ = 404 K

Temperature T₂ = 298 K

Work done = 2740 J

If the temperature T₁ =298 k

Temperature T₂ = 245 K

We need to calculate the heat

Using efficiency formula

\eta=\dfrac{W}{Q}...(I)

We need to calculate the efficiency

Using formula of efficiency

\eta=1-\dfrac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}

\eta=1-\dfrac{298}{404}

\eta=0.262

Put the value of efficiency in equation (I)

0.262=\dfrac{2740}{Q}

Q=\dfrac{2740}{0.262}

Q=10458\ J

Again, we need to calculate the efficiency

\eta=1-\dfrac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}

\eta=1-\dfrac{245}{298}

\eta=0.177

We need to calculate the heat

Using equation (I)

Q=\dfrac{2740}{0.177}

Q=15480\ J

Hence, The heat is 10458 J and 15480 J.

A particle moves along a straight line such that its position is defined by s = (t^3- 3t^2 2) m. Determine the average velocity,
sergey [27]

From the information in the question, the velocity of the particle is 24 ms-1.

Let us recall that the velocity of a body is obtained as the first derivative of distance covered with respect to time. Hence;

ds/dt = v

Now, we have to differentiate (t^3- 3t^2 + 2)m with respect to t and we have;

d(t^3- 3t^2 + 2)m/dt = 3t^2 - 6t

Now at t= 4s, the velocity of the particle is;

3(4)^2 - 6(4) = 24 m/s

The acceleration of the particle is the second derivative of distance with respect to time;

d^2s/dt^2 = d^2 3t^2 - 6t/dt^2 = 6t

Substituting t = 4s

a = 24 ms-2
