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.

Calculate the average drift speed of electrons traveling through a copper wire with a crosssectional area of 80 mm2 when carryin
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is 2.8*10^{-5}ms^{-1}

Explanation:

The formula for the electron drift speed is given as follows,

u=I/nAq

where n is the number of of electrons per unit m³, q is the charge on an electron and A is the cross-sectional area of the copper wire and I is the current. We see that we already have A , q and I. The only thing left to calculate is the electron density n that is the number of electrons per unit volume.

Using the information provided in the question we can see that the number of moles of copper atoms in a cm³ of volume of the conductor is 8.93/63.5 molcm^{-3}. Converting this number to m³ using very elementary unit conversion we get 140384molm^{-3}. If we multiply this number by the Avagardo number which is the number of atoms per mol of any gas , we get the number of atoms per m³ which in this case is equal to the number of electron per m³ because one electron per atom of copper contribute to the current. So we get,

n=140384*6.02*10^{23} = 8.45*10^{28}electrons.m^{-3}

if we convert the area from mm³ to m³ we get A=80*10^{-6}m^{2}.So now that we have n, we plug in all the values of A ,I ,q and n into the main equation to obtain,

u=30/(8.45*10^{28}*80*10^{-6}*1.602*10^{-19})\\u=2.8*10^{-5}m.s^{-1}

which is our final answer.

Part complete during a collision with a wall, the velocity of a 0.200-kg ball changes from 20.0 m/s toward the wall to 12.0 m/s
Inga [223]

The average force applied to the ball= 106.7 N

Explanation:

Force is given by

f= ΔP/t

ΔP= change in momentum= m Vf- m Vi

m= mass =0.2 kg

Vf= final velocity= 12 m/s

Vi=initial velocity= -20 m/s ( negative because it is going towards the wall which is treated as negative axis)

t= time= 60 ms= 0.06 s

now ΔP= 0.2 [ 12-(-20)]

ΔP=0.2 (32)=6.4 kg m/s

now force F= ΔP/t

F= 6.4/0.06

F=106.7 N
