He should run the same set of trials more times in order to improve the precision of the result

Explanation:

When doing a scientific experiment, the results of the measurement are subjected to errors. There are various types of errors:

- Statistical errors: these are due to the limited precision of the instruments used for the measurement. For example, when measuring a lenght with a ruler, the ruler cannot measure with a precision of less than 1 mm, so we always have at least an uncertainty of 1 mm on the measurement done

- Systematic errors: these are errors due to faulty equipment of flaws in the design of the experiment.

In order to reduce the statistical error, it is important to repeat the same measurement more than once: in this way, we can calculate an average for the quantity we are measuring, and the uncertainty on the measure will be reduced.

In this problem, therefore, the amount of time taken by the toy car to travel down the ramp must be measured more times, and then Mitchell should calculate an average for each set of trials, in order to improve the precision of the results.

A ball with a mass of 3.1 kg is moving in a uniform circular motion upon a horizontal surface. The ball is attached at the cente

inessss [21]

Answer:

3.46 seconds

Explanation:

Since the ball is moving in circular motion thus centripetal force will be acting there along the rope.

The equation for the centripetal force is as follows -

$F=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

Where, $m$ is the mass of the ball, $v$ is the speed and $r$ is the radius of the circular path which will be equal to the length of the rope.

This centripetal force will be equal to the tension in the string and thus we can write,

$20.4 = \frac{3.1\times v^2}{2}$

and, $v^2 = 13.16$

Thus, $v = 3.63$ m/s.

Now, the total length of circular path = circumference of the circle

Thus, total path length = 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 2 = 12.56 m

Time taken to complete one revolution = $\frac{\text {Path length} }{\text {Speed}}$ = $\frac{12.56}{3.63}$ = 3.46 seconds.

Thus, the mass will complete one revolution in 3.46 seconds.

Vector A has y-component Ay= +15.0 m . A makes an angle of 32.0 counterclockwise from the +y-axis. What is the x component of A?

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

x-component=-9.3 m

Magnitude of A=17.7m

Explanation:

We are given that

$A_y=+15 m$

$\theta=32^{\circ}$

We have to find the x-component of A and magnitude of A.

According to question

$A_y=\mid A\mid cos\theta$

Substitute the values then we get

$15=\mid A\mid cos32$

$\mid A\mid =\frac{15}{cos32}=\frac{15}{0.848}$

$\mid A\mid=17.7$ m

$tan\theta=\frac{perpendicular\;side}{Base}$

$tan32=\frac{A_x}{A_y}=\frac{A_x}{15}$

$0.62\times 15=A_x$

$A_x=9.3$

The value of x-component of A is negative because the vector A lie in second quadrant.

Hence, the x- component of A=-9.3 m

hello friends,i need your help my home work now in physics,topic:motion.40 marks +brainliest if correct .

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Vertical position is given by

df = do + vo t - 1/2 a t^2 df = final position = 0 (on the ground)

do =original position = 2 m

vo = original VERTICAL velocity = 0

a = acceleration of gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

THIS BECOMES

0 = 2 + 0 * t - 1/2 ( 9.81)t^2

to show t = .639 seconds to hit the ground

During this .639 seconds it flies horizontally at 10 m/s for a distance of

10 m/s * .639 s = 6.39 m

A real gas will behave most like an ideal gas under conditions of ________.

KengaRu [80]

Answer: high temperature and low pressure

Explanation:

The Ideal Gas equation is:

$P.V=n.R.T$

Where:

$P$ is the pressure of the gas

$V$ is the volume of the gas

$n$ the number of moles of gas

$R=0.0821\frac{L.atm}{mol.K}$ is the gas constant

$T$ is the absolute temperature of the gas in Kelvin

According to this law, molecules in gaseous state do not exert any force among them (attraction or repulsion) and the volume of these molecules is small, therefore negligible in comparison with the volume of the container that contains them.

Now, real gases can behave approximately to an ideal gas, under the conditions described above and taking into account the following:

When temperature is high a real gas approximates to ideal gas, because the molecules move quickly, preventing the repulsion or attraction forces to take effect. In addition, at low pressures, the volume of molecules is negligible.
