After using a thermometer where should it be placed

1 answer:

7 0

After using a thermometer, it is best to wash it so that the next person who is going to use it won't get the flu or illness that the person who used it before. In washing it, it is best to wash it, rinse it thoroughly, sanitized it with the use of alcohol to remove excess germs and bacteria that could be still stuck on it and lastly, air dry. When dried, placed it on its proper case to avoid it from breaking or being contaminated.

A dockworker applies a constant horizontal force of 80.0 N to a block of ice on a smooth horizontal floor. The frictional force

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

(a) 91 kg (2 s.f.) (b) 22 m

Explanation:

Since it is stated that a constant horizontal force is applied to the block of ice, we know that the block of ice travels with a constant acceleration and but not with a constant velocity.

(a)

$s \ = \ ut \ + \ \displaystyle\frac{1}{2} at^{2} \\ \\ a \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{2(s \ - \ ut)}{t^{2}} \\ \\ a \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{2(11 \ - \ 0)}{5^{2}} \\ \\ a \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{22}{25} \\ \\ a \ = \ 0.88 \ \mathrm{m \ s^{-2}}$

Subsequently,

$F \ = \ ma \\ \\ m \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{F}{a} \\ \\ m \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{80 \ \mathrm{kg \ m \ s^{-2}}}{0.88 \ \mathrm{m \ s^{-2}}} \\ \\ m \ = \ 91 \mathrm{kg} \ \ \ \ \ \ (2 \ \mathrm{s.f.})$

*Note that the equations used above assume constant acceleration is being applied to the system. However, in the case of non-uniform motion, these equations will no longer be valid and in turn, calculus will be used to analyze such motions.

(b) To find the final velocity of the ice block at the end of the first 5 seconds,

$v \ = \ u \ + \ at \\ \\ v \ = \ 0 \ + \ (0.88 \mathrm{m \ s^{-2}})(5 \ \mathrm{s}) \\ \\ v \ = \ 4.4 \ \mathrm{m \ s^{-1}}$

According to Newton's First Law which states objects will remain at rest

or in uniform motion (moving at constant velocity) unless acted upon by

an external force. Hence, the block of ice by the end of the first 5

seconds, experiences no acceleration (a = 0) but travels with a constant

velocity of 4.4 $m \ s^{-1}$ .

$s \ = \ ut \ + \ \displaystyle\frac{1}{2}at^{2} \\ \\ s \ = \ (4.4 \ \mathrm{m \ s^{-2}})(5 \ \mathrm{s}) \ + \ \displaystyle\frac{1}{2}(0)(5^{2}) \\ \\ s \ = \ 22 \ \mathrm{m}$

Therefore, the ice block traveled 22 m in the next 5 seconds after the

worker stops pushing it.

Scientists take scientific measurements carefully in order to ensure that reliability and validity. What is the difference betwe

Gala2k [10]

Accuracy describes how close a measurement is to the truest value while precision shows how close the measurements are to one another when repeated analysis of the same measurements are performed. Precision most likely is free from any any variation.

Please tell me if this is Newton's first law, second, or third law of motion. There can be more than one of the same answer very

AfilCa [17]

Answer: Hope This Helps!

Explanation:

1: Newton’s first law of motion can explain how a magician pulls a tablecloth from underneath the dishes. A negligible horizontal force is applied during the process. As per Newton’s first law of motion, the dishes and glasses remain in their state of motion (rest); as a result, they remain undisturbed.

2: Newton's First Law of Motion is defined as "An object at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."In soccer, when the soccer ball is in the soccer field and it is not moving, that means that it is at rest and there is no force acting upon it. When there is a person that is ready to play soccer and wants to kick the ball and play, then the unbalanced force would be the power from the person's foot.

3: Newtons third law can explain, as the cannonball is pushed forwards by the expanding high-pressure gases created by the exploding gunpowder, it pushes back on these gases. The gases push back on the cannon itself, causing it to roll backwards. Alternative answer: the cannon pushes forward on the cannonball. the reaction force is the cannonball pushing backwards on the cannon.

Which data set has the smallest standard deviation?

777dan777 [17]

The answer would be B.

Standard deviation basically measures how spread out the values are. Without solving, you can easily tell which one among your choices have a smaller deviation. The closer the values are to each other the smaller the standard deviation. The values of choice B are the closest together, so you can assume that they have the smallest standard deviation.
