9. A 30 cm ruler is found to have a center of mass of 15.6 cm. The percent error of the center of mass is _____, if the ruler is

assumed to have uniform mass.

Answer:

3.85 percent

Explanation:

From the question,

Percentage error = (error/actual)×100................ Equation 1

Given: actual center of mass = 15 cm, error = 15.6-15 = 0.6 cm

Substitute these values into equation 1

Percentage error = (0.6/15.6)×100

Percentage error = 3.85 percent

Hence the percentage error of the uniform mass = 3.85 percent

The notes produced by a tuba range in frequency from approximately 45 Hz to 375 Hz. Find the possible range of wavelengths in ai
taurus [48]

Answer:

The possible range of wavelengths in air produced by the instrument is 7.62 m and 0.914 m respectively.

Explanation:

Given that,

The notes produced by a tuba range in frequency from approximately 45 Hz to 375 Hz.

The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.

To find,

The wavelength range for the corresponding frequency.

Solution,

The speed of sound is given by the following relation as :

v=f_1\lambda_1

Wavelength for f = 45 Hz is,

\lambda_1=\dfrac{v}{f_1}

\lambda_1=\dfrac{343}{45}=7.62\ m

Wavelength for f = 375 Hz is,

\lambda_2=\dfrac{v}{f_2}

\lambda_2=\dfrac{343}{375}=0.914\ m/s

So, the possible range of wavelengths in air produced by the instrument is 7.62 m and 0.914 m respectively.

A projectile enters a resisting medium at x = 0 with an initial velocity v0 = 910 ft/s and travels 5 in. before coming to rest.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

a = - 1.987 × 10⁶ ft/s²

t = 6.84 × 10⁻⁴ s

Explanation:

v₀ = 910 ft/s

x = 5 in.

relation v = v₀ - k x

v = 0 as body comes to rest

0 = 900 - 5k/12

k = 2184 s⁻¹

acceleration

\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t} = -k\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

where

(A) a = -k × v

 at v= 910 ft/s

     a = - 1.987 × 10⁶ ft/s²

(B)  at x = 3.9 in.

v = 910 - 3.9(2184)/12

v = 200.2 m/s

\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t} = -k\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

\frac{dv}{v} = -kdt

\int\limits^{200.2}_{900} {\frac{1}{v} }dv = -k\int\limits^t_0 dt

ln(200.2)-ln(900) = -kt

t = 6.84 × 10⁻⁴ s

If we increase the force applied to an object, and all other factors remain the same, the amount of work will
soldier1979 [14.2K]
The question doesn't give us enough information to answer.
The answer depends on the mass of the object, how long the force
acts on the object, the OTHER forces on the object, and whether the
object is free to move.

-- If you increase the force with which you push on a brick wall,
the amount of work done remains unchanged, namely Zero.

-- If you push on a pingpong ball with a force of 1 ounce for 1 second,
the ball accelerates substantially, it moves a substantial distance, and
so the work done is substantial.

-- But if you push on a battleship, even with a much bigger force ...
let's say 1 pound ... and keep pushing for a month ... the ship accelerates
microscopically, moves a microscopic distance, and the work done by
your force is microscopic.

An empty can of soda is yeeted (thrown) into a crowd. Then, a full can of soda is yeeted into a crowd. Throwing the full can too
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Newton's third law of motion.

Explanation:

We are told the force needed to throw the full soda can was more than that needed to throw the empty can.

Now, the weight of the full soda can will be more than that of the empty can. Therefore, the full can will demand more force than that of the empty can due to Newton's third law of motion which states that to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
