Alecsey [184]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

0.015%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Length by which the measuring tape can be off, δL = 0.42 cm

Total measured length for which Error of  δL is observed, L = 28 m  

Now,  

we know,  

1 m = 100 cm  

Thus,

28 m = 28 × 100 = 2800 cm

Percent uncertainty = [δL ÷ L] × 100%

= [0.42  ÷ 2800] × 100%

= 0.015%

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

t = 5.19 s

Explanation:

We have,

Height of the cliff is 132 m

It is required to find the time taken by the ball to fall to the ground. Let t is the time taken. So, using equation of kinematics as :

y=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\\text{since}\ u=0\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2y}{g}}\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 132}{9.8}}\\\\t=5.19\ s

So, it will take 5.19 seconds to fall to the ground.

If a drop is to be deflected a distance d = 0.350 mm by the time it reaches the end of the deflection plate, what magnitude of c
Sloan [31]

Answer:

q = 4.87 X 10^ -14 C

Explanation:

As d=0.350 mm

The ink drop will be accelerated by the electric field between the plates:

a = F/m

d = a(D0 / v)^2 / 2 ...... 1

a = qE/m ............... 2

Substituting 2  into 1:

d = (qE/m)(D0 / v)^2 / 2

q = 2mdv^2 / [E(D0)^2]

q = 2(1.00e-11 kg)(3.50e-4 m)(15.0 m/s)^2 / [(7.70e4 N/C)(2.05e-2 m)^2]

q = 4.87e-14 C

Your family is going to drive to your grandma's house for Christmas dinner. You set the car's odometer to 0 before you leave. Wh
Sati [7]

Answer:

Distance = 85.3 miles

displacement = 0

Explanation:

The total distance covered to grandma's house is 42.6 miles as recorded by the odometer. The same distance would be covered when returning to the base. Hence;

Total distance for the round trip = 42.6 + 42.6 = 85.2 miles

Since the trip was a round trip, the displacement is zero because the family returned to their initial location.
