Answer:

Systematic error can be corrected using calibration of the measurement instrument, while random error can be corrected using an average measurement from a set of measurements.

Explanation:

Random errors lead to fluctuations around the true value as a result of difficulty taking measurements, whereas systematic errors lead to predictable and consistent departures from the true value due to problems with the calibration of your equipment.

Systematic error can be corrected, by calibration of the measurement instrument. Calibration is simply a procedure where the result of measurement recorded by an instrument is compared with the measurement result of a standard value.

Random error can be corrected using an average measurement from a set of measurements or by Increasing sample size.

What is the acceleration due to gravity at an altitude of 116?
Schach [20]
Gravitational acceleration (Ga) is  inversely proportional to  k / Distance^2

so Ga * Distance^2 = K

On the surface of Earth acceleration due to gravity is about 9.8m/s^2 with an average distance to the earths core of about 6371 km (Wolfram alpha).

So k = 9.8 * 6371^2
I'm presuming that your distance of 116 is km

As 
Ga = k / distance^2 

Ga = ((9.8 * 6371^2) / (6371 + 116)^2 ) = 397778481.8 / 42081169

= 9.45 m/s^2 to 2sf

Charge is uniformly distributed throughout a spherical insulating volume of radius R=4.00 cm . The charge per unit volume is −6.
aleksley [76]

Answer

-8.67× 10^6 N/C

Explanation:

The Electric Field is defined as force per unit charge.

E = Q/ 4π£r2

Qv= −6.5 μCm3

Qv = Q/ V= Q/ 4/3 πr3

Hence Q = 4/3 πr3 × Qv

Hence E = 4/3 πr3 × Qv / 4π£r2= Qvr/3£

−6.5 μ × 4/ 3×8.854 ×10^-12

-6.5 × 4 × 10^6/3 = -8.67× 10^6 N/C

Note: £ = 8.854×10^-12m/F

is the permittivity of free space

Qv is the charge per unit volume

V is volume and volume

Consider a situation where you are playing air hockey with a friend. The table shoots small streams of air upward to keep the pu
artcher [175]

When we hit the puck from tap the puck will move forward.

This is due to the impulse provided by us at the time of hit. Due to this impulse the puck will move forward and start moving in some direction.

As soon as puck move forward the force on it is zero as the weight of the puck is counterbalanced by the air stream force and there is no other force on it so puck will continue its motion till it will hit at some other point.

So here the motion of the puck will be uniform motion till it will collide with some other points.

So here the correct option will be given as

<em>moves with a constant speed until hitting the other end.</em>
