1 answer:

4 0

1) False

2) True

3) The distance is 17 m

4) The displacement is 2 m south

5) She did not give the direction as either left, or negative.

6) The average speed is 28 mph

7) The average velocity is 12 mph north

8) The average speed is 0.27 m/s

9) False

10) False

Explanation:

1)

Speed is a scalar quantity which tells how fast an object is moving regardless of its direction, and it is calculated as:

speed=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the distance covered by the object and t is the time taken. Being a scalar quantity, speed consists only of a value and its units, so no direction needs to be specified.

2)

Velocity is a vector quantity, defined as

velocity = \frac{d}{t}

where d is the displacement of the object (a vector connecting the initial position to the final position of motion) and t is the time taken. Being a vector, velocity has both a magnitude and a direction (the same direction as the displacement), so direction here should also be specified.

3)

The distance travelled by the object is just the total length of the path taken, regardless of the direction of each part of the motion.

Here the object moves:

10 meters to the right

7 meters to the left

So, the distance travelled is

d = 10 + 7 = 17 m

4)

The displacement is a vector connecting the initial position to the final position of motion, so we have to compare the starting position with the final position.

Taking x = 0 as initial position, and north as positive direction:

- The object moves 5 m north first (+5)

- The object moves 7 m south (-7)

So, the displacement is

d = +5 + (-7) = -2 m

which means 2 meters south.

5)

As we said previously, displacement is a vector connecting the initial position to the final position of motion. Being a vector, it must have:

- A magnitude (the shortest distance between the initial and final position, in a straight line)

- A direction

Here Jenny reported only the magnitude (3 meters), but not the direction, so she forgot to include the direction of the displacement (which is to the left).

6)

The average speed is given by

speed=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the distance and t is the time taken.

The distance is just the total length covered, so:

d = 5 + 2 = 7 miles

The time taken is

t = 1/4 h = 0.25 h

So, the average speed is

speed=\frac{7}{0.25}=28 mph

7)

The average velocity is given by

velocity=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the displacement and t is the time taken.

The displacement is, taking north as positive direction:

d = +5 + (-2) = 3 miles (north)

The time taken is

t = 1/4 h = 0.25 h

So, the average velocity is

velocity=\frac{3}{0.25}=12 mph (north)

8)

We can calculate the average speed by adding the single measurements and dividing by the number of trials done:

speed_{avg}=\frac{s_1+s_2+s_3}{3}

where in this case, N = 3. For this experiment we have:

s_1 = \frac{0.75 m}{2.5s}=0.30 m/s\\s_2 = \frac{0.75 m}{2.75 s}=0.27 m/s\\s_3=\frac{0.75 m}{2.98 s}=0.25 s

So the average is

speed_{avg}=\frac{0.30+0.27+0.25}{3}=0.27 m/s

9)

Data are said to be:

- Accurate, when the average value of the measurements is close to the actual value

- Precise, when the spread of the measurements done in the different trials is small

Therefore, the first part of the sentence "Data that is accurate, is data that is really close to the actual value" is correct, and the second part "data that is precise is data that is repeated over and over again" is not correct, since we may have several measurements but their spread may be large.

10)

As we said in part 9):

- Accuracy refers to how close the measured value is to the actual value

- Precision refers to the spread (or the uncertainty) on the measured value: the smaller it is, the better the precision

For instance, let's assume that the actual value of a certain variable is 3.0. If we get the following set of data:

2.4, 2.5, 2.4, 2.3

it is precise (the spread is small) but not accurate (since the average, 2.4, is far from the actual value)

while the following set:

3.1, 3.6, 2.4, 3.0

is accurate (the average is around 3.0, so close to the actual value), but not precise (the spread is very large).

swat32

Answer:

C=1,25\cdot 10^{5} kJ/^{\circ}C

Explanation:

First of all let's define the specific molar heat capacity.

C = \frac{-Q}{n\cdot \Delta T} (1)

Where:

Q is the released heat by the system

n is the number of moles

ΔT is the difference of temperature of the system  

Now, we can find n with the molar mass (M) the mass of the compound (m).

n=\frac{m}{M}=6.95\cdot 10^{-3} moles      

Using (1) we have:

C=\frac{-3550}{6.95\cdot 10^{-3} 4.073}

C=1,25\cdot 10^{5} kJ/^{\circ}C

I hope it helps!

A resistor has four colored stripes in the following order: orange, orange, brown and silver. What is the resistance of the resi
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Resistance =330 Ω

Tolerance = 33 Ω

Explanation:

see attached resistor color code table

The first stripe is orange, which means the leftmost digit is a 3.

The second stripe is orange , which means the next digit is a 3.

The third stripe is brown.  Since brown is 1, it means add one zero to the right of the first two digits.

The resistance is:

orange-orange-brown=  330 Ω

The tolerance is:

The fourth color band indicates the resistor's tolerance.  Tolerance is the percentage of error in the resistor's resistance.

silver is 10%

A 330 Ω resistor has a silver tolerance band.  

<em>Tolerance = value of resistor x value of tolerance band </em>

= 330 Ω x 10% = 33 Ω

330 Ω stated resistance +/- 33 Ω tolerance means that the resistor could range in actual value from as much as 363 Ω to as little as 297 Ω.
