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

A capacitor C is fully charged by connecting it to battery of V Volt. Then it is disconnected from battery. If the separation be
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

i )

When it is disconnected with the battery , the charge stored in it becomes fixed . When the plate distance becomes half , its capacitance becomes twice from C to 2C . Let charge stored in it at the time of disconnection from battery be Q . Let plate separation reduces from d to d / 2

So charged stored in it will remain unchanged .

ii )

Potential difference = charge / capacitance

in the first case potential difference = Q / C

in the second case potential difference = Q / 2C

So potential difference becomes half .

iii ) electric field = potential diff / plate separation

in the first case electric field = Q / (d x C )

in the second case electric field = 2 Q / (d x 2C)

= Q / (d  x C )

So electric field remains unchanged .

iv)

energy stored in first case = Q² / 2C

In the second case energy stored = Q² / 2x2C

so energy stored becomes half .

A train travels 120 km in 2 hours and 30 minutes. What is its average speed
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

48 kmph

Explanation:

The question is asking you the kmph and that means the amount of kilometers travelled divided by the amount of hours. And if you want to think of it in a formula, SPEED = DISTANCE ÷ TIME

In this case, the amount of hours is 2.5 and the speed is 120km so 120/2.5 is 48

so the answer is 48 kmph

Determine the vector sum of the displacements Δd1 = 2.4 m [32° S of W]; Δd2 = 1.6 m [S]; and Δd3 = 4.9 m [27° S of E].
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

3.44 metres

Explanation:

To determine the vector sum of the displacements Δd1 = 2.4 m [32° S of W]; Δd2 = 1.6 m [S]; and Δd3 = 4.9 m [27° S of E], resolve the given parameters into x - component and y - component.

Resolving into x - component

- 2.4cos32 + 4.9cos27 = 2.3306

Resolving into y - component

- 2.4sin32 - 4.9sin27 - 1.6 = - 2.553

The vector sum of the displacement will be

Sqrt( 2.3^2 + 2.6^2) =

Sqrt ( 11.81)

3.44 m

Therefore, the vector sum of the displacements is 3.44 metres
