Given:\\a=5.4 \frac{m}{s^2}  \\v_0= 25\frac{m}{s} \\\\Find:\\s=?\\\\Solution:\\\\s=v_0t- \frac{at^2}{2} \\\\a= \frac{\Delta v}{t} \\\\v_e=0\Rightarrow \Delta v=v_0\\\\t= \frac{v_0}{a} \\\\s= \frac{v_0^2}{a} - \frac{v_0^2}{2a} =\frac{v_0^2}{2a} \\\\s= \frac{ (25\frac{m}{s})2 }{2\cdot 5.4 \frac{m}{s^2} } \approx 57.9m\\\\C\rightarrow Correct\;answer

A pharmacist attempts to weigh 100 milligrams of codeine sulfate on a balance with a sensitivity requirement of 4 milligrams. Ca
ira [324]

Answer:

4 %

2 ) 3.42 %

Explanation:

Sensitivity requirement of 4 milligram means it is not sensitive below 4 milligram or can not measure below 4 milligram .

Given , 4 milligram is the maximum error possible .

Measured weight = 100 milligram

So percentage maximum potential error

= (4 / 100)  x 100

4 %

2 )

As per measurement

weight of 6 milliliters of water

= 48.540 - 42.745 = 5.795 gram

6 milliliters of water should measure 6 grams

Deviation = 6 - 5.795 = - 0.205 gram.

Percentage of error =(.205 / 6 )x 100

= 3.42 %

A ball is dropped from the top of a building.After 2 seconds, it’s velocity is measured to be 19.6 m/s. Calculate the accelerati
zlopas [31]

Answer:

acceleration, a = 9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

'A ball is dropped from the top of a building' indicates that the initial velocity of the ball is zero.

u = 0 m/s

After 2 seconds, velocity of the ball is 19.6 m/s.

t = 2s, v = 19.6 m/s

Using

v = u + at

19.6 = 0 + 2a

a = 9.8 m/s²

If you wanted to produce more power,what could you do to maximize power
PSYCHO15rus [73]

In physics, power is defined as energy per unit time.  You will also hear it described as work per unit time.  The standard unit of measure for power is the watt, where a watt is defined as joules (energy) per second (time).  This is expressed as a fraction as J/s.  If you wanted to increase the power in any operation, you can either increase the energy (more joules) or reduce the time (fewer seconds).
