3. You are measuring a distance using a caliper to measure something and you measure it to the nearest 0.01 mm. However, you hav

e misread the scale and listed the measurement as 8.62 mm when it really should have been 9.62 mm. Is this a mistake in accuracy or precision, or both?

Answer

Vernier caliper measure nearest to 0.01 mm.

If the correct reading of the experiment is 9.62 mm.

But you misread it and listed it as 8.62 mm.

This is Clearly the case of mistake in Accuracy.

Because the reading is wrong and answer is not accurate hence it is mistake in accuracy.

To Judge weather the reading is precise or not we should have a range where the result is acceptable but in  the question no range is given. So, we cannot comment on precision.

Strike441 [17]

The correct choice is

B. sublimation, then condensation

Sublimation is the name of the process where a solid directly converts into gas on heating. on heating solid crystals of iodine directly change into gas. hence this is sublimation.

condensation is the process where gas is converted into liquid on cooling.

here iodine gas is being converted into droplets on reducing the temperature. hence this is condensation.

Q1: A runner is jogging in a straight line at a steady vr= 6.8 km/hr. When the runner is L= 2.4 km from the finish line, a bird
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Q1: 3.2km

Q2: 4.8K

Explanation:

Q1:

So db is the distance of bird, and dr is the distance of runner

db = 2vr  and the distance of bird is going to be 2 times greater than the runner.

formulas: db = 2vr & db = 2dr

  1. db = 2dr
  2. L + (L - x) = 2x
  3. 2L - x = 2x
  4. 2L = 3x
  5. x = \frac{2}{3}L

Insert it in x = \frac{2}{3}L

\frac{2}{3}(2.4km) = 1.6km

Now we use formula db = 2dr

  1. db = 2L - x
  2. db = 2(2.4km) - 1.6km
  3. <u>db = 3.2km</u>

Q2:

Formulas: Vr = L /Δt & Vb = db/Δt

  1. Vr = L/ Δt ⇒ Δt = \frac{L}{Vr}
  2. \frac{2.4km}{6.8km/hr}
  3. \frac{6}{17}hr

(Km cancel each other)

  1. Vb = db/Δt ⇒ db = VbΔt
  2. 13.6km/hr(\frac{6}{17}hr )
  3. <u>4.8km</u>

(hr cancel each other)

Hope it helps you :)

An unstable particle at rest breaks up into two fragments of unequal mass. The mass of the lighter fragment is equal to 2.90 ✕ 1
motikmotik

Answer:

The speed of the heavier fragment is 0.335c.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the lighter fragment M_{l}=2.90\times10^{-28}\ kg

Mass of the heavier fragment M_{h}=1.62\times10^{-27}\ Kg

Speed of lighter fragment = 0.893c

We need to calculate the speed of the heavier fragment

Let v is the speed of the second fragment after decay

Using conservation of relativistic momentum

0=\drac{m_{1}v_{1}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{c^2}}}-\drac{m_{2}v_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{c^2}}}

\drac{m_{1}v_{1}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{c^2}}}=\drac{m_{2}v_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{c^2}}}

\dfrac{2.90\times10^{-28}\times0.893c}{\sqrt{1-(0.893)^2}}=\dfrac{1.62\times10^{-27}v_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{2}^2}{c^2}}}

\dfrac{v_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{2}^2}{c^2}}}=\dfrac{2.90\times10^{-28}\times0.893c}{1.62\times10^{-27}\times0.45}

\dfrac{v_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{2}^2}{c^2}}}=0.355c

\dfrac{v_{2}}{1-\dfrac{v_{2}^{2}}{c^2}}=(0.355c)^2

\dfrac{1-\dfrac{v_{2}^2}{c^2}}{v_{2}^2}=\dfrac{1}{(0.355c)}

\dfrac{1}{v_{2}^2}-\dfrac{1}{c^2}=\dfrac{1}{(0.355c)^2}

\dfrac{1}{v_{2}^2}=\dfrac{1}{c^2}+\dfrac{1}{0.126c^2}

\dfrac{1}{v_{2}^2}=\dfrac{1}{c^2}(1+\dfrac{1}{0.126})

\dfrac{1}{v_{2}^2}=\dfrac{8.93}{c^2}

v_{2}^2=\dfrac{c^2}{8.93}

v_{2}=0.335c

Hence, The speed of the heavier fragment is 0.335c.
