Answer:Orient your line of sight directly above the measurement markings.
Explanation: parallax error is a type of systematic error that occurs when an observer views a measurement marking at a wrong angle. This causes a noticeable disparity in results obtained. Therefore the best way to prevent this error is to view and record the data from the correct angle. This can be obtained by:
-Place the measurement device on its edge so it is level with the object being measured.
-Seek out the finest possible edge of the measurement device, or use a device with finer edges.
In conclusion, ask other observers to also take the reading and get an average of their results. It can help cancel out parallax error results.
Answer: 5N
Explanation:
Horizontal component is the force that is applied as a result of the diagonal application of force.
here in this case,
given diagonal force =10N.
angle= 30°
horizontal component is found using trigonometry..
so,
A vector of magnitude 10 N is provided.
It is at an angle of 30° to the + x axis.
To find:
The components along the x and y axis.
Calculation:
Along x axis:
F(x) = F cos(θ)
=> F(x) = 10 × cos(30)
=> F(x) = 10 (√3/2) = 5√3N
Along y axis:
F(y) = F sin(θ)
=> F(y) = 10 sin(30°)
=> F(y) = 10 × ½
=> F(y) = 5 N.
Additional information:
1. A vector is a quantity that can be defined with both magnitude and direction.
2. Since force is a vector, we are able to break it down into components along chosen axis.
D. The flow of energy,heat, and work
30 km/h * 17 h = 30*17 km/h *h
= 510 km
An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy obtained from an external source into electrical energy as the output.
It is important to understand that a generator does not actually ‘create’ electrical energy. Instead, it uses the mechanical energy supplied to it to force the movement of electric charges present in the wire of its windings through an external electric circuit. This flow of electric charges constitutes the output electric current supplied by the generator. This mechanism can be understood by considering the generator to be analogous to a water pump, which causes the flow of water but does not actually ‘create’ the water flowing through it.
The modern-day generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831-32. Faraday discovered that the above flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor, which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating electric current.
