The sensitivity of a measuring instrument is the value of the smallest quantity that can be read or estimated with it. What is t

he smallest part of a centimeter that can be read with the following?
(a) a meterstick with markings at each millimeter.

(b) a digital caliper with a four-digit display

I've got an answer for (a) which was 0.05cm, and tried the following for (b) but none was correct:

0.0001cm, 0.01mm, 0.002mm

Answer:

The smallest part of a millimeter that can be read with a digital caliper with a four digit display is 0.02mm. Thus, it has to be converted to centimetre. So, divide by 10, we then have 0.02/10= *0.002cm* not mm.

A car is initially moving at 20 m/s east and a little while later it is moving at 10 m/s north. Which of the following best desc
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:d

Explanation:

Given

First car is moving  towards east with velocity 20 m/s

\vec{v_1}=20\hat{i}

then it turns towards north then velocity is  

\vec{v_2}=10\hat{j}

suppose car takes t sec to change its path so average acceleration is given by

a=\frac{v_2-v_1}{t}

a=\frac{1}{t}(10\hat{j}-20\hat{i})

So average  acceleration is towards North of west.

A plane travels 1743 KM in 2 hours 30 minutes. How fast was the plane traveling?
Advocard [28]

Answer:

v=697.2km/h

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the velocity is computed via the division of the distance traveled by the elapsed time:

V=\frac{d}{t}

The distance is clearly 1743 km and the time is:

t=2h+30min*\frac{1h}{60min} =2.5h

Thus, the velocity turns out:

v=\frac{1743km}{2.5h}\\ \\v=697.2km/h

Which is a typical velocity for a plane to allow it be stable when flying.

Best regards.

Once juno reaches jupiter, what is the minimum amount of time it takes for the transmitted signals to travel from the spacecraft
Komok [63]

In very very very round figures . . .

-- Jupiter is about 5.2 times as far from the sun as the earth is.

-- So when Jupiter and the EARTH are aligned in both orbits, Jupiter is about

(4.2) x (150 million kilometers) = 630 million kilometers

Time = (distance) / (speed)

The speed of light and radio is 300,000 km/second

Time = (630 million / 300 thousand)

<em>Time = 2,100 seconds</em>

That's 35 minutes.

Which is the electric potential energy of a charged particle divided by its charge?Electric fieldelectric field lineelectric pot
Dahasolnce [82]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

electric potential

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Electric potential is the electric potential energy per unit charge.

Mathematically; V =PE/q

Where; PE is the electric potential energy, V is the electric potential and q is the charge.

Electric potential is more commonly known as voltage.  If you know the potential at a point, and you then place a charge at that point, the potential energy associated with that charge in that potential is simply the charge multiplied by the potential.
