A stopwatch is used to measure how long it takes a sprinter to run 100 meters. this stopwatch measures time intervals to hundred

ths of seconds. using the stopwatch the timekeeper measures the sprinter’s time as 9.88 seconds. the timekeeper then writes down the sprinter’s time as 9.88 0.005 s ± . what is wrong with this?

First you need to know the smallest counting unit in this case. As this stopwatch measures time intervals to hundredths of a second, the uncertainty should be ± 0.01s (seconds) NOT ± 0.005s. Hence 0.01 is the smallest counting unit in this case. Hence the answer should be 9.88 <span>± 0.01s.

Ignoring air resistance and the little friction from the plastic tube, the magnet was a freely-falling object in each trial. If

Answer:

emf will also be 10 times less as compared to when it has fallen 40 \mathrm{m}

Explanation:

We know, from faraday's law-

e m f=-N \frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta T}

and \Phi=B . A

So, as the height increases the velocity with which it will cross the ring will also increase. (v=\sqrt{2 g h})

Given

\mathrm{V} 1(\text { Speed at } 40 \mathrm{m})=2 \mathrm{x} \mathrm{V} 2(\text { speed at } 10 \mathrm{m})

\sqrt{2 g h_{2}}=2 \times \sqrt{2 g h_{1}}=28.28 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

Now, from 40 \mathrm{cm}

V_{3}=\sqrt{2 g h_{3}}=\sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 0.4}=2.82 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

From equation a and b we see that velocity when dropped from 40 \mathrm{m} is 10 times greater when height is 40 \mathrm{cm} so, emf will also be 10 times less as compared to when it has fallen 40 \mathrm{m}

Tectonic plates are large segments of the earth's crust that move slowly. suppose one such plate has an average speed of 4.8 cm
user100 [1]
<span>one year is 365, 1 day is 24 hours, 1 hour is 60 minutes, 60 minutes is 60 seconds, thus (365 * 24 * 60 * 60) = 31,536,000 one year is equal to 31,536,000 seconds. the plate has a speed of 4.8 cm every 31,536,000 seconds. lets find out how far it goes in 40 seconds. (4.8/31,536,000)*40 = 0.00000608828 The plate moves 0.00000608828 cm every 40 seconds</span>

Ross training for a half marathon which is 13.1 miles long. Within four months he has progressed to an 11 mile practice run if R
damaskus [11]

If Ross takes two months off from training, his fitness level will reduce in comparison to what it was two months ago.

  • In as little as 3–4 weeks after beginning strength training, Ross will probably experience weight increase, energy loss, diminished balance, diminished strength (making it tougher to carry out daily tasks), and overall fewer fitness levels.
  • Many people mistakenly believe they lose muscle mass far more quickly than they actually do because their muscles' ability to store water and glycogen is declining.
  • A decrease in strength and muscle mass, with beginners experiencing a smaller decline in strength than experienced lifters.
  • Ross will experience Increased VO2 Max from exercise. VO2 Max is almost completely lost in people who train at lower intensities.

A fan that is rotating at 960 rev/s is turned off. It makes 1500 revolutions before it comes to a stop. a) What was its angular
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

α = 1930.2 rad/s²

Explanation:

The angular acceleration can be found by using the third equation of motion:

2\alpha \theta=\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2

where,

α = angular acceleration = ?

θ = angular displacement = (1500 rev)(2π rad/1 rev) = 9424.78 rad

ωf = final angular speed = 0 rad/s

ωi = initial angular speed = (960 rev/s)(2π rad/1 rev) = 6031.87 rad/s

Therefore,

2\alpha(9424.78\ rad) = (0\ rad/s)^2-(6031.87\ rad/s)^2\\\\\alpha = -\frac{(6031.87\ rad/s)^2}{(2)(9424.78\ rad)}

<u>α = - 1930.2 rad/s²</u>

<u>negative sign shows deceleration</u>
