Answer:
To minimize the practical errors and improve the accuracy.
Explanation:
- Scientists take several measurements and use the average of all the measured values to minimize the practical errors due to unavoidable circumstances and be close to the true value.
- True value is the actual value of a measured parameter without any error, it is the value which is proposed in the design of a certain object.
- Variations may occur in the measurement due to wear and tear, dust and air pressure. It is almost impossible to create ideal surrounding for the measurement procedure.
Answer:
a. 0.21 rad/s2
b. 2.205 N
Explanation:
We convert from rpm to rad/s knowing that each revolution has 2π radians and each minute is 60 seconds
200 rpm = 200 * 2π / 60 = 21 rad/s
180 rpm = 180 * 2π / 60 = 18.85 rad/s
r = d/2 = 30cm / 2 = 15 cm = 0.15 m
a)So if the angular speed decreases steadily (at a constant rate) from 21 rad/s to 18.85 rad/s within 10s then the angular acceleration is

b) Assume the grind stone is a solid disk, its moment of inertia is

Where m = 28 kg is the disk mass and R = 0.15 m is the radius of the disk.

So the friction torque is

The friction force is

Since the friction coefficient is 0.2, we can calculate the normal force that is used to press the knife against the stone

Third
every action has an opposite and equal reaction
