You calculate the density of a block of aluminum to be 2.68 g/cm3. You look up the density of a block of aluminum at room temper

ature and find it to be 2.70 g/cm3. This results in an error of 0.7%. (a) Is this a systematic or random error? Explain why.

Answer:

Systematic errors.

Explanation:

The density of the aluminium was calculated by a human and this is not natural but can be due to errors in the calibration of the scale for measuring the weight or taking readings from the measuring cylinder.

Random errors are natural errors. Random errors in experimental measurements are caused by unknown and unpredictable changes in the experiment. Systematic errors are due to imprecision or problems with instruments.

A research vessel is mapping the bottom of the ocean using sonar. It emits a short sound pulse called "ping" downward. The frequ
Elena L [17]

Answer:

The ocean is 6485.6m deep when measured from the vessel

Explanation:

v=1474m/s

t=8.88s

let d represent distance from the vessel to the ocean bottom.

an echo travels a distance equivalent to 2d, that is to and fro after it reflects from the obstacle.

velocity=\frac{distance}{time}\\ v=\frac{2d}{t} \\vt=2d\\d=\frac{vt}{2}

d=\frac{1474*8.8}{2}

d= 6485.6m

An athlete at the gym holds a 3.0 kg steel ball in his hand. His arm is 60 cm long and has a mass of 3.8 kg, with the center of
Serggg [28]

Answer:

(a) τ = 26.58 Nm

(b) τ = 18.79 Nm

Explanation:

(a)

First we find the torque due to the ball in hand:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₁ = Torque due to ball in hand = ?

F₁ = Force due to ball in hand = m₁g = (3 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 29.4 N

d₁ = perpendicular distance between ball and shoulder = 60 cm = 0.6 m

τ₁ = (29.4 N)(0.6 m)

τ₁ = 17.64 Nm

Now, we calculate the torque due to the his arm:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₂ = Torque due to arm = ?

F₂ = Force due to arm = m₂g = (3.8 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 37.24 N

d₂ = perpendicular distance between center of mass and shoulder = 40% of 60 cm = (0.4)(60 cm) = 24 cm = 0.24 m

τ₂ = (37.24 N)(0.24 m)

τ₂ = 8.94 Nm

Since, both torques have same direction. Therefore, total torque will be:

τ = τ₁ + τ₂

τ = 17.64 Nm + 8.94 Nm

<u>τ = 26.58 Nm</u>

<u></u>

(b)

Now, the arm is at 45° below horizontal line.

First we find the torque due to the ball in hand:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₁ = Torque due to ball in hand = ?

F₁ = Force due to ball in hand = m₁g = (3 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 29.4 N

42.42 cm = 0.4242 m

τ₁ = (29.4 N)(0.4242 m)

τ₁ = 12.47 Nm

Now, we calculate the torque due to the his arm:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₂ = Torque due to arm = ?

F₂ = Force due to arm = m₂g = (3.8 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 37.24 N

d₂ = perpendicular distance between center of mass and shoulder = 40% of (60 cm)(Cos 45°) = (0.4)(42.42 cm) = 16.96 cm = 0.1696 m

τ₂ = (37.24 N)(0.1696 m)

τ₂ = 6.32 Nm

Since, both torques have same direction. Therefore, total torque will be:

τ = τ₁ + τ₂

τ = 12.47 Nm + 6.32 Nm

<u>τ = 18.79 Nm</u>
