A student is testing the kinematic equations for uniformly accelerated motion by measuring the time it takes for light-weight pl

astic balls to fall to the floor from a height of 3 m in the lab. The student predicts the time to fall using g as 9.80 m/s2 but finds the measured time to be 35% greater. Which of the following is the most likely cause of the large percent error(A) The acceleration due to gravity is 70% greater than 9.80 m/s2 at this location.
(B) The acceleration due to gravity is 70% less than 9.80 m/s2 at this location.
(C) Air resistance increases the acceleration in the y direction.
(D) The acceleration of the plastic balls is not uniform.

The most possible cause of 35% increase in time measured is due to the acceleration due to gravity which is 70% less than 9.80 m/s² at this location.

Explanation:

We know that for a linear motion

S=ut+(1/2)*a*t²

Where S= Distance covered

u= initial velocity

t=time period

a= acceleration due to gravity

Since the body is falling vertically downwards "a" is to be replaced by "g"

Moreover, The body is falling from rest "u"=0

Hence the equation reduces to S=1/2*g*t²

t²=2S/g

Since the "g" is in denominator thus a decreased value of "g" would mean increased period. Thus an increase of 35% in the period would translate to a 70% decrease in "g".

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

2.77287\times 10^{15}\ m

Explanation:

P = Power = 50 kW

n = Number of photons per second

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s

\nu = Frequency = 781 kHz

r = Distance at which the photon intensity is i = 1 photon/m²

Power is given by

P=nh\nu\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{P}{h\nu}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{50000}{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 781000}\\\Rightarrow n=9.66201\times 10^{31}\ photons/s

Photon intensity is given by

i=\dfrac{n}{4\pi r^2}\\\Rightarrow 1=\dfrac{9.66201\times 10^{31}}{4\pi r^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{\dfrac{9.66201\times 10^{31}}{4\pi}}\\\Rightarrow r=2.77287\times 10^{15}\ m

The distance is 2.77287\times 10^{15}\ m

A sample of helium has a volume of 12.7 m3. The temperature is raised to 323 K at which time the gas occupies 32.5 m3? Assume pr
jasenka [17]

Answer: The original temperature was

T_{1}=126.51K

Explanation:

Let's put the information in mathematical form:

V_{1}=12.7m^{3}

T_{1}=?

V_{2}=32.5m^{3}

T_{2}=323K

P_{1}=P_{2}=3atm

If we consider the helium as an ideal gas, we can use the Ideal Gas Law:

PV=nRT

were <em>R</em> is the gas constant. And <em>n</em> is the number of moles (which we don't know yet)

From this, taking R=0.08205746\frac{atm.l}{mol.K},  we have:

n=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{RT_{2}}

⇒n=3.67mol

Now:

T_{1}=\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{nR}

⇒T_{1}=126.51K

olga55 [171]
The solid, liquid and gas phases of water would have the same structure of the molecules since they are same substance. The only difference would be the distances of the molecules in the container. For a ice, the molecules are close to each other where the molecules vibrate only in place. For liquid, the molecules are freely moving and are at some distance with each other but not that far away with each other. Steam, on the other hand, would have molecules that are very far from each other and are freely moving in the whole container. As the container is heated, the size of the molecules would not change. It is only the volume that has changed. Also, the mass is the same since there is no outflow of the substances.

In a cup game if the teams have the same score at the end of the match, 30 minutes of ------- are played.
Alina [70]

Answer:

second lag

Explanation:

If in a cup game, a specified time limit is assigned to both teams to score high. If both teams are unable to score or if score of both the teams is equal then there is another second lag played where each team tries to score high. Even if in second lag both teams fail to score higher than other the last third lag is played or else game is declared draw.
