The kinetic energy of a moving object is E=12mv2. A 61 kg runner is moving at 10kmh. However, her speedometer is only accurate t

o within 0.1kmh. What is the potential error in her calculated kinetic energy, as a result of the imprecision in the measurement of her velocity?

Answer:

e=3367.2J

%e=1.43%

Explanation:

From the exercise we know two information. The real speed and the experimental measured by the speedometer

v_{r}=10km/h=2.77m/s

Since the speedometer is only accurate to within 0.1km/h the experimental speed is

v_{e}=10km/h-0.1km/h=9.9km/h=2.75m/s

Knowing that we can calculate Kinetic energy for the real and experimental speed

E_{r}=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(61000g)(2.77m/s)^2=234023J

E_{e}=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(61000g)(2.75m/s)^2=230656J

Now, the potential error in her calculated kinetic energy is:

e=E_{r}-E_{e}=(234023-230656)J=3367.2J

%e=\frac{E_{r}-E_{e}}{E_{r}}x100=\frac{(234023-230656)J}{234023J}x100=1.43%

What does the scientific method help test in environmental science?
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The scientific method helps test and arrive at conclusions for a variety of hypotheses that are created when studying environmental science.

Explanation:

What is the scientific method in environmental science?

The scientific method is a method of research with defined steps that include experiments and careful observation. One of the most important aspects of this method is the testing of hypotheses by means of repeatable experiments. A hypothesis is a suggested explanation for an event, which can be tested.

Oh lord help me please
Zina [86]

Answer: Friction

Explanation:

The friction force is the force exerted by a surface as an object moves across it or makes an effort to move across it. There are at least two types of friction force - sliding and static friction. Though it is not always the case, the friction force often opposes the motion of an object.

Two observers are 300 ft apart on opposite sides of a flagpole. The angles of elevation from the observers to the top of the pol
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

h = 48.077 ft

Explanation:

given,

distance between two observer = 300 ft

angle of elevation to top pole = 16° and 20°

height of the flagpole = ?

now,

Let h be the height of the flagpole

Let x be the distance of the pole

tan 16^0 = \dfrac{h}{x}

x =\dfrac{h}{tan 16^0}

now,

again applying

tan 20^0 = \dfrac{h}{300-x}

300-x=\dfrac{h}{tan 20^0}

300-3.49 h=2.75 h

6.24h = 300

h = 48.077 ft
