In an experiment to measure the acceleration due to gravity, g two values, 9.96 m/s2 and 9.72 m/s2 , are determined. Find (1) th

e percent difference of the measurements, (2) the percent error of each measurement, and (3) the percent error of their mean. (Accepted value: g 5 9.80 m/s2 .)

Answer:

(1) Percent Difference = 2.47%

(2) Percent Error (9.96 m/s²) = 1.63 %

    Percent Error (9.72 m/s²) = 0.82 %

(3) Percent Error (Mean) = 0.41 %

Explanation:

(1)

Percent Difference = [(9.96 m/s² - 9.72 m/s²)/(9.72 m/s²)]*100 %

<u>Percent Difference = 2.47%</u>

<u></u>

<u>(2)</u>

Percent Error = (|Measured Value - Original Value|/Original Value)*100%

Therefore,

Percent Error (9.96 m/s²) = (|9.96 m/s² - 9.8 m/s²|/9.8 m/s²)*100%

<u>Percent Error (9.96 m/s²) = 1.63 %</u>

Now,

Percent Error (9.72 m/s²) = (|9.72 m/s² - 9.8 m/s²|/9.8 m/s²)*100%

<u>Percent Error (9.72 m/s²) = 0.82 %</u>

<u></u>

<u>(</u>3<u>)</u>

First we need to find the mean of values:

Mean = (9.96 m/s² + 9.72 m/s²)/2

Mean = 9.84 m/s²

Therefore,

Percent Error (Mean) = (|9.84 m/s² - 9.8 m/s²|/9.8 m/s²)*100%

<u>Percent Error (Mean) = 0.41 %</u>

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

All the observers are correct.

Explanation:

This is simply a problem of reference frames from which the motion of the book is being viewed by the various observers.

From their various reference frames, they are all correct.

Observer A must be in the inertial reference frame.

<em>Observers who can explain the behavior of the book  and the car by using the relationship between the sum of  the forces and changing velocity are said to be observers in inertial reference frames.</em>

This is clearly shown by what observer A noticed. There was a relative motion between the book and the car as she pointed out, making her to be in an inertial reference frame.

<em>Similarly, observers in inertial reference frames can also explain the changes in velocity of objects  by considering the forces exerted on them by other objects.</em>

This is shown by observer B as he is able to notice how the force of the car affects the velocity of the book.

Observer C is actually in a non-inertial reference frame, as newtons law of force motion relationship are no longer observed. This occurs in the non inertial reference frame.

A train, traveling at a constant speed of 25.8 m/s, comes to an incline with a constant slope. While going up the incline, the t
zhannawk [14.2K]

The final velocity of the train after 8.3 s on the incline will be 12.022 m/s.

Answer:

Explanation:

So in this problem, the initial speed of the train is at 25.8 m/s before it comes to incline with constant slope. So the acceleration or the rate of change in velocity while moving on the incline is given as 1.66 m/s². So the final velocity need to be found after a time period of 8.3 s. According to the first equation of motion, v = u +at.

So we know the values for parameters u,a and t. Since, the train slows down on the slope, so the acceleration value will have negative sign with the magnitude of acceleration. Then

v = 25.8 + (-1.66×8.3)

v =12.022 m/s.

So the final velocity of the train after 8.3 s on the incline will be 12.022 m/s.

A neutral copper block is polarized as shown in the figure below, due to an electric field made by external charges (notshown).
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

As point B is located inside the copper block so net electric field at point B is j.

Explanation:

Consider the figure attached below. The net electric field at location B,that is inside the copper block is zero because when a conductor is charged or placed in an electric field of  external charges, net charge lies on the surface of conductor and there is no electric field inside the conductor. As point B is located inside the copper block so net electric field at point B is zero as well direction of net electric field at point B is zero.
