Answer:

False

Explanation:

If the object covers 9.8 m every second then it has a constant velocity of 9.8 m/s

The acceleration implies that there is a change in velocity. With a constant acceleration the velocity will change linearly.

$S = ut + \frac{1}{2} gt^2$

The distance traveled each second will not be a constant, it will be a quadratic function as mentioned above.

A plece of titanium has a mass of 67.5g and a volume of 15cm<br> What is the density?

sveta [45]

Answer:

4.5g/cm^3

Explanation:

Here, Mass(m)=67.5g

Volume(v)=15cm^3

Now, According to formula,

Density(p)=m/v

=67.5/15

=4.5g/cm^3

An accepted value for the acceleration due to gravity is 9.801 m/s2. In an experiment with pendulums, you calculate that the val

Fed [463]

g Generally the accepted value of acceleration due to gravity is 9.801 $m/s^2$

as per the question the acceleration due to gravity is found to be 9.42 $m/s^2$ in an experiment performed.

the difference between the ideal and observed value is 0.381.

hence the error is - $\frac{0.381}{9.801} *100$

=3.88735 percent

the error is not so high,so it can be accepted.

now we have to know why this occurs-the equation of time period of the simple pendulum is give as- $T=2\pi\sqrt[2]{l/g}$

$g=4\pi^2\frac{l}{T^2}$

As the experiment is done under air resistance,so it will affect to the time period.hence the time period will be more which in turn decreases the value of g.

if this experiment is done in a environment of zero air resistance,we will get the value of g which must be approximately equal to 9.801 $m/s^2$

Rubber rods charged by rubbing with cat fur repel each other. Glass rods charged by rubbing with silk repel each other. A rubber

puteri [66]

Answer:

C. A rubber rod and a glass rod charged this way have opposite charges on them.

Explanation:

When a rubber rod is rubbed against cat fur, it acquires a negative charge, it becomes negatively charged.

When you then try to bring two rubber rod's together, they repel because like charges repel.

Meanwhile, when you rub a glass rod against silk, it loses electrons to the silk material and becomes positively charged.

When you bring two positively charged glass rod's together, they repel, because like charges repel.

However, when you bring the rubber rod and a glass rod together, the attract each other because unlike/opposite charges attract.

The force required is 319 N

Explanation:

The force of static friction is a force that acts an object on a surface, when this object is pushed by another force to put it in motion. The direction of the force of friction is opposite to the direction of the force of push, and its value increases as the force of push increases, up to a maximum value given by:

$F_f = \mu W$
