A student is testing the kinematic equations for uniformly accelerated motion by measuring the time it takes for light-weight pl

astic balls to fall to the floor from a height of 3 m in the lab. The student predicts the time to fall using g as 9.80 m/s2 but finds the measured time to be 35% greater. Which of the following is the most likely cause of the large percent error?
(A) The acceleration due to gravity is 70% greater than 9.80 m/s2 at this location.(B) The acceleration due to gravity is 70% less than 9.80 m/s2 at this location.(C) Air resistance increases the downward acceleration.(D) The acceleration of the plastic balls is not uniform.(E) The plastic balls are not truly spherical.

Answer: Conclusion E

Explanation:

In this study we need to keep several things is mind.

First, the atracttion between two objects can be calculated using Newton's Universal Gravitation Equation:

F = G * \frac{M_{1} * M_{2}}{r^{2} }

Where the Force of attraction between two objects can be calculate by the product of the Gravitational Constant (G), their masses between the square of the distance. This same equation can be used to obtain the acceleration caused by gravity.

If we take in account this equation, we know that the Earth Mass is so big that any other will be attracted using the same force, no matter his size. Because of this, while the attraction between a Plastic Ball and a Rock should be different, the Earth's Mass makes irrelevant any weight like a little fluctuation.

Because of this, the Acceleration due Gravity should be constant between any object. A 70% bias is imposible. This made conclusions A, B and D Falses.

However the previous equation doesn't take in count the medium on which the two objects move. It is know that a object moving inside a fluid will experience friction which a force that oposses movemente and goes on the contrary direction, While the Plastic ball falls, the air around it will cause friction. This friction will always slow a falling object. Proving then, Conclusion C is false

In the case that a object falls, the air can provide resistant as proved before, however any irregularity on the surface of the ball can cause the ball to move and making the fall not truly straight, this can increase the time travel of the ball and slowing the ball fall. For this Conclusion E is the most likely to cause the error

What does 760mmHg represents??​
malfutka [58]

Explanation:

760 mmHg (millimeters of mercury) is a measure of atmospheric pressure.  It represents the height of a column of mercury at which the static pressure at the bottom is equal to the atmospheric pressure.

1 atm = 760 mmHg = 101,325 Pa = 14.7 psi

The speaker at the concert has the sound intensity level of 100 dB if we listen from the distance 5 m.How far from the speaker d
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

28.11m far from the speaker the intensity drops to 85 dB.

Explanation:

In the equation for the Decibel scale

  (1). \: \:\beta =10 log(\dfrac{I}{I_0})

The ratio of the intensities can be written as

$ \frac{I}{I_0} = \dfrac{\frac{P}{A} }{\frac{P}{A_0} } $

\dfrac{I}{I_0} = \dfrac{A_0}{A}.

And since

A = 4\pi r^2

and

A_0 = 4 \pi r_0^2,

\dfrac{A_0}{A} = \dfrac{4 \pi r_0^2}{4 \pi r^2}  = \dfrac{r_0^2}{r^2}

meaning

\dfrac{I}{I_0} = \dfrac{r_0^2}{r^2}.

Putting this into equation (1), we get:

\boxed{ (2).\: \: \beta = 10log(\dfrac{r_0^2}{r^2})}

Now, if the intensity is 100 dB when the distance is 5 meters, we have:

100dB=10 log(\dfrac{r_02}{(5m)^2})

10= log(\dfrac{r_0^2}{25})

by taking both sides to the exponent:  

10^{10}= \dfrac{r_0^2}{25}

r^2 = 25 *10^{10}\\r = 5 *10^5

Now equation (2) becomes

\beta = 10log(\dfrac{25*10^{10}}{r^2})

when the intensity level is 85 dB we have

85 = 10log(\dfrac{25*10^{10}}{r^2})

8.5 = log(\dfrac{25*10^{10}}{r^2})

take both sides to exponents and we get:

10^{8.5} =10^{ log(\dfrac{25*10^{10}}{r^2})}

10^{8.5} =\dfrac{25*10^{10}}{r^2}

r^2 = \dfrac{25*10^{10}}{10^{8.5}}

\boxed{r = 28.11m}

Thus, 28.11m far from the speaker the intensity drops to 85 dB.

Consider a particle moving along the x-axis where x(t) is the position of the particle at time t, x'(t) is its velocity, and x''
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

We know that the acceleration of the particle is defined as

a(t)=\frac{dv}{dt}

Since it is given that

v(t)=\frac{5}{\sqrt{t}}\\\\\therefore a(t)=\frac{d(\frac{5}{\sqrt{t}})}{dt}\\\\a(t)=5\times \frac{dt^{-\frac{1}{2}}}{dt}\\\\=\frac{-5}{2}t^{\frac{-1}{2}-1}\\\\\therefore a(t)=x''(t)=\frac{-2.5}{t^{\frac{3}{2}}}

Now by definition of velocity we have

v(t)=\frac{dx(t)}{dt}\\\\\Rightarrow dx(t)=v(t)dt

Integrating on both sides we get

v(t)=\frac{dx(t)}{dt}\\\\\int dx(t)=\int v(t)dt\\\\x(t)=\int v(t)dt

Applying values we get

v(t)=\frac{dx(t)}{dt}\\\\\int dx(t)=\int v(t)dt\\\\x(t)=\int \frac{5}{t^{\frac{1}{2}}}dt\\\\\therefore x(t)=\frac{5}{0.5}\int t^{-0.5}dt\\\\x(t)=10\sqrt{t}+c

To find the constant we note that at t=1 the particle is at x=12 Thus applying values in the above equation we get

c=12-10\\\therefore c=2\\\\x(t)=10\sqrt{t}+2
