Physics
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).

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

I think the answer is a

Explanation:

for it to be accurate has be to exactly 0.9 rad

it is not precise because the answer she is getting is different everytime and not even close. For instance,

It would have been precise if she had gotten 0.37 rad in every attempt. or 0.89 every attempt...

If the number of crests that pass a point in a given time increases, what has increased?
zysi [14]
The frequency increasing makes the crests pass more quickly.  Frequency is a count of how many times per second an event occurs.  In waves, this event is the passing of an entire cycle.  Once the cycle has passed, the wave repeats.  The faster the wave repeats, the higher the frequency.  For this reason, frequency has units of hertz, Hz.  The unit of hertz is 1/s or "per second"

A block is projected up a frictionless inclined plane with initial speed v0 = 1.72 m/s. The angle of incline is θ = 44.8°. (a) H
Snowcat [4.5K]

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity(v_0)=1.72 m/s

\theta =44.8{\circ}

using v^2-u^2=2as

Where v=final velocity (Here v=0)

u=initial velocity(1.72 m/s)

a=acceleration   (gsin\theta )

s=distance traveled

0-(1.72)^2=2(-9.81\times sin(44.8))s

s=0.214 m

(b)time taken to travel 0.214 m

v=u+at

0=1.72-gsin(44.8)\times t

t=\frac{1.72}{9.8\times sin(44.8)}

t=0.249 s

(c)Speed of the block at bottom

v^2-u^2=2as

Here u=0 as it started coming downward

v^2=2\times gsin(44.8)\times 0.214

v=\sqrt{2.985}

v=1.72 m/s

A ball starts at rest and rolls down an inclined plane. The ball reaches 7.5 m/s in 3 seconds. What is the acceleration?
just olya [345]

Answer:

a=2.5\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration </u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly over time.

The equation that describes the change of velocities is:

v_f=v_o+at

Where:

a   = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf  = final speed

t    = time

Solving the equation for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

The ball starts at rest (vo=0) and rolls down an inclined plane that makes it reach a speed of vf=7.5 m/s in t=3 seconds.

The acceleration is:

\displaystyle a=\frac{7.5-0}{3}

\boxed{a=2.5\ m/s^2}
