A snowball starting at rest rolls down a hill and reaches 5 m/s. If the hill is

Physics

Lostsunrise [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The acceleration of the snowball is 0.3125

Explanation:

The initial speed of the snowball up the hill, u = 0

The speed the snowball reaches, v = 5 m/s

The length of the hill, s = 40 m

The equation of motion of the snowball given the above parameters is therefore;

v² = u² + 2·a·s

Where;

a = The acceleration of the snowball

Plugging in the values, we have;

5² = 0² + 2 × a × 40

∴ 2 ×  40 × a  = 5² = 25

80 × a = 25

a = 25/80 = 5/16

a = The acceleration of the snowball = 5/16 m/s².

The acceleration of the snowball = 5/16 m/s² = 0.3125 m/s² .

No.

Since repeated measurements are taken and the average and 95% confidence interval are calculated, the possibility of the lack of agreement being a random error has been minimized or even eliminated.

<h3>What is a random error?</h3>

Random error is defined as the deviation of the total error from its mean value due to chance.

Random errors can result from the instrument not being precise or from mistakes by the researcher.

Random errors can be minimized by taking multiple readings and averaging the results.

Since repeated measurements are taken and the average and 95% confidence interval are calculated, the possibility of the lack of agreement being a ransom error has been minimized.

Two drag cars race. They line up at the starting line at rest. The winning car accelerates at a constant rate a and reaches the
Mila [183]

Answer:d=\frac{v^2}{8a}

Explanation:

Given

winning car accelerates with a and its final velocity is v

considering they both start from rest

time taken by winning car is

v=u+at

where u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

v=at

t=\frac{v}{a}

Now loosing car is accelerating with \frac{a}{4}

Distance traveled by loosing car in time t

s_1=ut+\frac{at^2}{2\cdot 4}

s_1=0+\frac{a}{8}\times (\frac{v}{a})^2

s_1=\frac{v^2}{8a}

Thus distance d traveled by loosing car is given by d=\frac{v^2}{8a}

Which of the following correctly describes the importance of demonstrations to scientific investigation?
sergey [27]

Answer:

A- A demonstration shows how something works, often including models

Explanation:

A demonstration allows, through experimentation, to show how nature works and in that way can include the explanation of scientific theories that explain the set of observed facts, that is, it serves as a demonstration of the underlying scientific principles.
