Why are both accuracy and reproducibility important in making a measurement?

1 answer:

4 0

Accuracy is how close you're measurement comes to an accepted or given value. I n many cases you do not know what the accepted value is, so you have nothing to compare your measurement with. The more often a measurement is taken with close precision, or reproducibility, the more likely you are to being close to your unknown accepted value.
There is a great short tutorial video covering accuracy and precision at Sciocity dot com

What is the energy level of hydrogen?

barxatty [35]

Answer:

The energies corresponding to each of the allowed orbitals are called energy levels.

Explanation:

A scientist known as Niels Bohr put forward that electrons in an atom covers some permitted orbitals with a specific energy. In other words, the energy of an electron in an atom is not continuous, but 'quantized.' The energies corresponding to each of the allowed orbitals are called energy levels.

$E = -\frac{E_0}{n^2} \\where \\E_0 = 13.6 eV (1 eV = 1.602\times 10^{-19}Joules)\\and\ n = 1,2,3...$

While playing baseball with your friends your hands begin to sting after you ctach several fast balls.

muminat

Answer:

Explanation:

To stop a ball with high momentum in a small-time imparts a high amount of impact on hands. This is the reason for the stinging of hands.

The momentum of the ball is due to the mass and velocity. To prevent stinging in the hand one needs to lower his hands to increase the time of contact. In this way, the momentum transfer to the hands will be lesser.

I am struggling on this physics question. Brainly is my last hope. Could somebody please provide an answer to this question, wit

Aleks [24]

1) 29.4 N

The force of gravity between two objects is given by:

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M and m are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the centres of mass of the two objects

In this problem, we have

$M=5.97\cdot 10^{24} kg$ (mass of the Earth)

$m=3.0 kg$ (mass of the box)

$r=R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$ (Earth's radius, which is also the distance between the centres of mass of the two objects, since the box is located at Earth's surface)

Substituting into the equation, we find F:

$F=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.97\cdot 10^{24})(3.0)}{(6.37\cdot 10^6)^2}=29.4 N$

2) $g=9.8 m/s^2$

Let's now calculate the ratio F/m. We have:

F = 29.4 N

m = 3.0 kg

Subsituting, we find

$\frac{F}{m}=\frac{29.4}{3.0}=9.8 N/kg = 9.8 m/s^2$

This is called acceleration of gravity, and it is the acceleration at which every object falls near the Earth's surface. It is indicated with the symbol $g$ .
