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 projectile is launched from the ground at an angle of 60o above the horizontal. At what point in its trajectory does it have t
Elodia [21]

Answer:

It's constant everywhere in its trajectory.

Explanation:

the projectile was launched with an initial velocity, the only acceleration that is affecting the projectile's velocity is gravity.

The acceleration of gravity is practically equal everywhere on earth, so during its trajectory, we have to take into consideration only the acceleration because of gravity.

This is only correct because the projectile was launched with an initial velocity and it's not accelerating from rest and then falls.

A crate rests on the flatbed of a truck that is initially traveling at 15 m/s on a level road. The driver applies the brakes and
lina2011 [118]

Answer:0.3

Explanation:

Given

velocity of car=15 m/s

truck brought to halt in a distance of 38 m

We know

v^2-u^2=2as

Final velocity (v)=0

0-(15)^2=2(a)(38)

a=\frac{-225}{76}

a=-2.96 m/s^2  (deceleration)

Therefore minimum coefficient of friction \mu will be

\mu \times g=a

\mu =\frac{a}{g}

\mu =\frac{2.96}{9.8}=0.302

A car drives over a hilltop that has a radius of curvature 0.120 km at the top of the hill. At what speed would the car be trave
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

34.3 m/s

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law states that the resultant of the forces acting on the car is equal to the product between the mass of the car, m, and the centripetal acceleration a_c (because the car is moving of circular motion). So at the top of the hill the equation of the forces is:

mg-R = m a_c = m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

(mg) is the weight of the car (downward), with m being the car's mass and g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

R is the normal reaction exerted by the road on the car (upward, so with negative sign)

v is the speed of the car

r = 0.120 km = 120 m is the radius of the curve

The problem is asking for the speed that the car would have when it tires just barely lose contact with the road: this means requiring that the normal reaction is zero, R=0. Substituting into the equation and solving for v, we find:

v=\sqrt{gr}=\sqrt{(9.8 m/s^2)(120 m)}=34.3 m/s

PLEASE HELP ASAP Which one of the following is a step used for balancing chemical equations?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

C. Count the atoms in each substance in the reactants and products.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction can be defined as a chemical process which typically involves the transformation or rearrangement of the atomic, ionic or molecular structure of an element through the breakdown and formation of chemical bonds to produce a new compound or substance.

In order for a chemical equation to be balanced, the condition which must be met is that the number of atoms in the reactants equals the number of atoms in the products.

This ultimately implies that, the mass and charge of the chemical equation are both balanced properly.

In Chemistry, all chemical equation must follow or be in accordance with the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed by either a physical transformation or a chemical reaction but transformed from one form to another in an isolated (closed) system.

One of the step used for balancing chemical equations is to count the atoms in each substance in the reactants and products.

For example;

NH3 + O2 -----> NO + H2O

The number of atoms in each chemical element are;

For the reactant side:

Nitrogen, N = 1

Hydrogen, H = 3

Oxygen, O = 2

For the product side;

Nitrogen, N = 1

Hydrogen, H = 2

Oxygen, O = 2

When we balance the chemical equation, we would have;

NH3 + 3O2 -----> 4NO + 2H2O
