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

Which of the following concepts best explains why a mass of low-density material in the mantle rises?Multiple Choice Strain Buoy
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Bouyancy

Explanation:

Bouyancy occurs when the upthrust exerted on an object is equal to the weight of object displaced. It is mostly applicable to low density objects for example balloon. When balloon is displaced in water, it floats. This is due to the effect of the upthrust acting on the balloon which allows the balloon to float and which is opposite the weight.

Note that the weight acts downwards the object while the upthrust always acts opposite (upward)

A basketball player grabbing a rebound jumps 76.0 cm vertically. How much total time (ascent and descent) does the player spend
Viefleur [7K]

a) we can answer the first part of this by recognizing the player rises 0.76m, reaches the apex of motion, and then falls back to the ground we can ask how

long it takes to fall 0.13 m from rest: dist = 1/2 gt^2 or t=sqrt[2d/g] t=0.175

s this is the time to fall from the top; it would take the same time to travel

upward the final 0.13 m, so the total time spent in the upper 0.15 m is 2x0.175

= 0.35s

b) there are a couple of ways of finding thetime it takes to travel the bottom 0.13m first way: we can use d=1/2gt^2 twice

to solve this problem the time it takes to fall the final 0.13 m is: time it

takes to fall 0.76 m - time it takes to fall 0.63 m t = sqrt[2d/g] = 0.399 s to

fall 0.76 m, and this equation yields it takes 0.359 s to fall 0.63 m, so it

takes 0.04 s to fall the final 0.13 m. The total time spent in the lower 0.13 m

is then twice this, or 0.08s

What is the period (in hours) of a satellite circling Mars 100 km above the planet's surface? The mass of Mars is 6.42 × 1023 kg
scZoUnD [109]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Centrifugal Force and the Gravitational Force. Since there is balance on the body these two Forces will be equal, mathematically they can be expressed as

F_c = F_g

\frac{mv^2}{r} = \frac{GmM}{r^2}

Where,

m = Mass

G =Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of the Planet

r = Distance/Radius

Re-arrange to find the velocity we have,

v^2 = \frac{GM}{r}

At the same time we know that the period is equivalent in terms of the linear velocity to,

T = \frac{2\pi}{\frac{v}{r}}

v = \frac{2\pi r}{T}

If our values are that the radius of mars is 3400 km and the distance above the planet is 100km more, i.e, 3500km we have,

v^2 = \frac{GM}{r}

( \frac{2\pi r}{T})^2 =  \frac{GM}{r}

T = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2 r^3}{GM}}

Replacing we have,

T = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2 (3500*10^3)^3}{(6.67430*10^{-11})(6.42*10^23)}}

T = 6285.09s (\frac{1min}{60s})(\frac{1hour}{60min})

T= 1.74hour

Therefore the correct answer is C.
