Answer:

The Correct Answer is A, C, and E.

Explanation:

There are many potential sources of errors when designing and carrying pout experiments.

Personal error: Inaccurate observation by observers, If the data collecting has two observers and they have collected two different data which is not matching with the experiment data then it would be considered as the Observer or personal error.
Instrumental errors: If Calibration of the instruments is not carried out correctly then it will produce incorrect data then it will be categorized under Instrumental error of experiment.

A thermometer is removed from a room where the temperature is 70° F and is taken outside, where the air temperature is 10° F. Af

vekshin1

Answer:

$T=51.64^\circ F$

$t=180.10s$

Explanation:

The Newton's law in this case is:

$T(t)=T_m+Ce^{kt}$

Here, $T_m$ is the air temperture, C and k are constants.

We have

$70^\circ F$ in $t=0$

So:

$T(0)=70^\circ F\\T(0)=10^\circ F+Ce^{k(0)}\\70^\circ F=10^\circ F+C\\C=70^\circ F-10^\circ F=60^\circ F$

And we have $60^\circ F$ in $t=30 s$ , So:

$T(30)=60^\circ F\\T(30)=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{k(30)}\\60^\circ F=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{k(30)}\\50^\circ F=(60^\circ F)e^{k(30)}\\e^{k(30)}=\frac{50^\circ F}{60^\circ F}\\(30)k=ln(\frac{50}{60})\\k=\frac{ln(\frac{50}{60})}{30}=-0.0061$

Now, we have:

$T=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061t}(1)$

Applying (1) for $t=1 min=60s$ :

$T=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061*60}\\T=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)0.694\\T=10^\circ F+41.64^\circ F\\T=51.64^\circ F$

Applying (1) for $T=30^\circ F$ :

$30^\circ F=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061t}\\30^\circ F-10^\circ F=(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061t}\\-0.0061t=ln(\frac{20}{60})\\t=\frac{ln(\frac{20}{60})}{-0.0061}=180.10s$

An object is placed 5.00 cm beyond the focal point of a convex lens whose focal length is 10.0 cm. If the object height is 3.0 c

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The height of the image is, h' = 6.0 cm

The image is erect.

Explanation:

Given data,

The object distance, u = -5 cm

The focal length of convex lens, f = 10 cm

The object height, h = 3 cm

The lens formula,

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}$

$\frac{1}{10}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{-5}$

$\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{5}$

v = -10 cm

The magnification factor of lens

$m=\frac{-10}{-5}$

m = 2

$m=\frac{h'}{h}$

$h'=h\times m$

$h'=3\times 2$

h' = 6 cm

The height of the image is, h' = 6 cm

The image is erect.

In an economy, the demand for labor is given by the equation W = 15 - (1/200) L and the supply of labor is given by the equation

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

the equilibrium wage rate is 10 and the equilibrium quantity of labor is 1000 workers

Explanation:

The equilibrium wage rate and the equilibrium quantity of labor are found as the point where the equation of demand intercepts the equation of supply, so the equilibrium quantity of labor is:

$W_{Demand} = W_{Supply}$

15 - (1/200) L = 5 + (1/200) L

15 - 5 = (1/200) L + (1/200) L

10 = (2/200) L

(10*200)/2 = L

1000 = L

Then, the equilibrium wage rate is calculated using either the equation of demand for labor or the equation of supply of labor. If we use the equation of demand for labor, we get:

W = 15 - (1/200) L

W = 15 - (1/200) 1000

W = 10

Finally, the equilibrium wage rate is 10 and the equilibrium quantity of labor is 1000 workers

A weightlifter curls a 30 kg bar, raising it each time a distance of 0.60 m. How many times must he repeat this exercise to burn

Sholpan [36]

Answe

given,

mass of the bar, m = 30 Kg

distance of rise, h = 0.60 m

Assuming the efficiency = 25 %

energy from the pizza slice = 300 C = 1260 kJ

To consume Energy from the pizza bar is to be pulled several number of time.

( energy from pizza ) x (efficiency) = n m g h

n is the number of lift

( 1260 x 10³) x (0.25) = n x 30 x 9.8 x 0.6

$n = \dfrac{315\times 10^3}{176.4}$

n = 1786 times.

Weightlifter should lift bar 1786 times to burn off the energy.

John dragged a wooden block across a table with 4 different surfaces and the results

AnnyKZ [126]

If the surface is rough then the average force needed to move the wooden block will be more as the friction between the surfaces will be more.

Hence, the least force will be required on the smoothest surface and the greatest force will be required for the roughest surface.

a) Hence, the order will be: B > D > A > C

b) When the surface is glued then the force of friction will increase. Hence, it will require more force to move the wooden block on the surface. Hence, the more required will be more than 105 N.
