A science teacher tells her class that their final project requires students to measure a specific variable and determine the ve

locity of a car with no more than 2.5% error. Jennifer and Johnny work hard and decide the velocity of the car is 34.87 m/s. The teacher informs them that the actual velocity is 34.15 m/s. Will Jennifer and Johnny pass their final project?

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The velocity measured by Jennifer and Johnny is

v_m = 34.87 m/s

The actual velocity is

v=34.15 m/s

We can calculate the % error of the students measurement as follows:

Err = \frac{v_m - v}{v}\cdot 100 = \frac{34.87 m/s-34.15 m/s}{34.15 m/s}\cdot 100 =0.021 \cdot 100 = 2.1 \%

Which is lower than the 2.5% maximum error required, so the two students will pass the test.

An AC generator with a variable frequency and an RMS voltage output of 120 Volts is connected in series to a 3.1 μF Capacitor an
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The RMS voltage across the resistor = 28 V

Explanation:

Capacitor: A capacitor is an electrical device that has the ability to store electrical charges in an electrical circuit. It is expressed in Farad (F)

Resistor: A resistor is an electrical device that oppose the flow of electric current in a circuit. It is expressed in ohms (Ω)

RMS Voltage : RMS voltage  value of an alternating voltage is defined as that value of steady voltage which would dissipate heat at the same rate in a given resistance

Since the it is a series circuit, the total voltage is divided across the resistance and the capacitor.

Vt = V₁ + V₂...........................Equation 1

Where Vt = total Rms voltage = 120 V ,  V₁ = Rms voltage across the Capacitor = 92 V, V₂ = Rms voltage across the resistor.

Making V₂ the subject of the equation in equation 1 above,

V₂ = Vt - V₁  = 120 - 92

V₂ = 28 V.

The RMS voltage across the resistor = 28 V

Why will a delivery truck filled with birds sitting on its floor be heavier than a truck with the same birds flying around insid
34kurt

The reason why a delivery truck filled with birds sitting on the floor be heavier than a truck with the same birds flying around is because when the birds are sitting on the floor, they are adding their weight to the truck.

Meanwhile, if the birds are flying around they aren't resting on the truck or touching it, so therefore their weight wouldn't be added to the truck.

The mass of the truck will remain the same as you cannot change the mass but the weight will vary depending on the items and objects placed in it.

What was birta system​
Amanda [17]

Answer:

The act of distributing land to an individual as salary, donation, present or reward is called birta. There was the Birta system during the Malla, Shah and Rana rule in the country.

Explanation:

Act: (a) "Birta land" means any kind of land obtained or possessed in such a way that the land is wholly exempt from the State Land Tax, or that the tax payable thereon is less than the tax imposed on Raikar land of similar type in the same place, and this term also includes any land as defined in Clauses

An unknown mass is on a flat frictionless surface and a 2 kg object is attached to it with a string going over pulleyt mounted t
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

F=ma

F in this case is the gravity acting on the 2kg object. Acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. SF=ma, so

F = 2kg*(9.8 m/s^2) = 19.6 N

Now use this force to determine the mass of the object on the table:

F=ma

19.6 N (1N=kg*m/s^2) = m*(1.8 m/s^2)

m = 10.89 kg
