Explain the difference between the precision and accuracy of an experiment.

Physics
1 answer:
krek1111 [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Accuracy is defined as the extent up to which the calculated value is close to the actual value.

Precision is calculated after several experiments, it is the repeatability of the result. It measures the extent up to which the result is close to each other.

Closer the measurement more accurate is the measurement.

Less is the variation from the exact value more is the Precision.

Analyze how friction can be both a positive and negative aspect on our lives
denpristay [2]
Positive - Friction allows us to create heat in a desperate situation, like being lost in the woods. If we didn't have friction, we would probably freeze to death.
Negative - Friction can also cause unwanted fires, such as forest fires. If friction didn't exist, we wouldn't have these.

While moving in, a new homeowner is pushing a box across the floor at a constant velocity. The coefficient of kinetic friction b
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

\theta = 66.7 degree

Explanation:

since force is applied downwards at some angle with the horizontal

so here we will have

F_n = mg + Fsin\theta

now we know that the box will not move if applied force is balanced by frictional force on it

so we will have

Fcos\theta = \mu F_n

F cos\theta = \mu (mg + F sin\theta)

F(cos\theta - \mu sin\theta) = \mu mg

F = \frac{\mu mg}{cos\theta - \mu sin\theta}

so here we can say

cos\theta - \mu sin\theta > 0

tan\theta = \frac{1}{\mu}

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{1}{\mu}

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{0.43})

\theta = 66.7 degree

Assuming no air resistance, how far will a 0.0010 kg raindrop have fallen when it hits the ground 30.0 s later. Assume g = 9.8 m
Serga [27]
D = (1/2)·at²
where d is the distance fallen, a is the acceleration (g in this problem), and t is the time
d = (1/2)·(9.8 m/s²)·(30 s)² = (1/2)·(9.8)·(900) m
d = 4410 m
The answer is b) 4410 m

Note: the mass of the raindrop is irrelevant since the acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass. (Galileo's Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment)

) determine the density of a 32.5 g metal sample that displaces 8.39 ml of water.
sweet-ann [11.9K]
Density is the ratio of a substance's mass to its volume. On the other hand, according to Archimedes' principle, the volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the object placed on the water. Thus, the density of the metal is equal to 8.39 mL. So, the density would be

Density = 32.5 g/8.39 mL = 3.87 g/mL
