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 ranger in a national park is driving at 52 km/h when a deer jumps onto the road 87 m ahead of the vehicle. After a reaction ti
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Time, t = 0.23 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of the ranger, u = 52 km/h = 14.44 m/s

Final speed of the ranger, v = 0 (as brakes are applied)

Acceleration of the ranger, a=-4\ m/s^2

Distance between deer and the vehicle, d = 87 m

Let d' is the distance covered by the deer so that it comes top rest. So,

d'=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

d'=\dfrac{-(14.44)^2}{2\times -4}

d' = 26.06 m

Distance between the point where the deer stops and the vehicle is :

D=d-d'

D=87 - 26.06 = 60.94 m

Let t is the maximum reaction time allowed if the ranger is to avoid hitting the deer. It can be calculated as :

t=\dfrac{v}{D}

t=\dfrac{14.44}{60.94}

t = 0.23 seconds

Hence, this is the required solution.

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The velocity \vec{v}_{c/g} of the cart with respect to the ground is

\vec{v}_{c/g}=-40\hat{x}+80\hat{y}\, km/h

if we consider North the positive y-direction and East the positive x-direction.

Explanation:

We have for relative motion the following expression:

\vec{v}_{c/g}=\vec{v}_{c/p}+\vec{v}_{p/g}

Where \vec{v}_{c/g} is the velocity of the cart with respect to the ground, \vec{v}_{c/p} is the velocity of the cart with respect to the plane and \vec{v}_{p/g} is the velocity of the plane with respect to the ground.

We find that:

\vec{v}_{c/p}=-20\hat{y}

\vec{v}_{p/g}=-40\hat{x}+100\hat{y}

Thus:

\vec{v}_{c/g}=-20\hat{y}-40\hat{x}+100\hat{y}=-40\hat{x}+80\hat{y} \, km/h

A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using a "42.0-N test line." In other words, the line will sustain a maximum force of
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

(a) 42 N

(b)36.7 N

Explanation:

Nomenclature

F= force test line (N)

W : fish weight  (N)

Problem development

(a) Calculating of weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled in at constant speed

We apply Newton's first law of equlibrio because the system moves at constant speed:

∑Fy =0

F-W= 0

42N -W =0  

W = 42N

(b) Calculating of weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled with an acceleration whose magnitude is 1.41 m/s²

We apply Newton's second law because the system moves at constant acceleration:

 m= W/g , m= W/9.8 ,  m:fish mass , W: fish weight g:acceleration due to gravity

∑Fy =m*a

m= W/g , m= W/9.8 ,  m:fish mass , W: fish weight g:acceleration due to gravity

F-W= ( W/9.8 )*a

42-W=  ( W/9.8 )*1.41

42= W+0.1439W

42=1.1439W

W= 42/1.1439

W= 36.7  N
