You and your lab partner, Mel, are engrossed in a chemistry activity using beans to compute the average atomic mass of an elemen

t "beanium". You have three isotopes of beanium to measure. Using a triple beam balance, you find the mass of each isotope three times and then take an average. You and Mel compute an average mass for beanium of 8.93 grams and your percent error is 18%. Your teacher instructs you to try again and you end up with the same results. In fact, no matter how many times you try, your percent error is between 18 - 20%.
What is the MOST LIKELY source of error in this activity?

A) random error: Mel misreads the balance occassionally.
B) random error: You and Mel take turns reading the balance and do not read it to the same accuracy.
C) systematic error: The balance is not calibrated accurately, resulting in inaccurate measurements.
D) systematic error: Every now and then you or Mel stop to chat with your neighbors and lose track of what you are doing.

Answer:

C:

Explanation:

either C or A but A seems unlikely after multiple attempts. Although the question doesn't make it clear whether the balance is electric either way it could be wrong in someway and seems to be the most likely.

What is the relationship between mass and weight in physics?
Alex_Xolod [135]

We are aware that weight is the product of applied gravitational force and mass. W = MG thus, where W represents the weight, M the mass, and G the gravitational force. As a result, it might also mean that "an object's weight is directly proportionate to its mass."

<h3>What is mass?</h3>
  • Mass is a physical body's total amount of matter.
  • It also serves as a gauge for the body's inertia, or resistance to acceleration (change in velocity) in the presence of a net force.
  • The strength of an object's gravitational pull to other bodies is also influenced by its mass.
  • The kilogram is the primary mass unit in the SI (kg).
  • Even though weight is frequently measured using a spring scale rather than a balancing scale and directly compared with known masses, mass is not the same as weight in physics.
<h3>What is weight?</h3>
  • The force exerted on an object by gravity is known as the weight of the object in science and engineering.
  • Weight is sometimes described as a vector quantity, or the gravitational force exerted on the object, in some common textbooks.
  • Others define weight as a scalar quantity, the gravitational force's strength.
  • Others define it as the strength of the force applied to a body as a result of systems designed to resist the effects of gravity; the weight is the amount that is determined, for instance, by a spring scale.

A 45 N girl sits on a bench 0.6 meters off the ground. How much work is done on the bench?
ycow [4]

Answer: 27 joules

Explanation:

Work is done when force is applied on the bench over a distance. it is measured in joules.

Workdone = force x distance

= 45 N x 0.6 metres

= 27 joules

Thus, 27 joules of work is done on the bench.

A 0.272-kg volleyball approaches a player horizontally with a speed of 12.6 m/s. The player strikes the ball with her fist and c
Nady [450]

(a) +9.30 kg m/s

The impulse exerted on an object is equal to its change in momentum:

I= \Delta p = m \Delta v = m (v-u)

where

m is the mass of the object

\Delta v is the change in velocity of the object, with

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

For the volleyball in this problem:

m = 0.272 kg

u = -12.6 m/s

v = +21.6 m/s

So the impulse is

I=(0.272 kg)(21.6 m/s - (-12.6 m/s)=+9.30 kg m/s

(b) 155 N

The impulse can also be rewritten as

I=F \Delta t

where

F is the force exerted on the volleyball (which is equal and opposite to the force exerted by the volleyball on the fist of the player, according to Newton's third law)

\Delta t is the duration of the collision

In this situation, we have

\Delta t = 0.06 s

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the magnitude of the average force:

F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}=\frac{9.30 kg m/s}{0.06 s}=155 N

A lithium atom has three protons, three neutrons, and three electrons. What is the overall charge on this atom?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

0

Explanation:

The overall charge on this atom is 0.

  To find the charge on an atom;

           charge  = number of protons - number of electrons.

Note:

  • Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom
  • Electrons are the negatively charged particles in an atom
  • Neutrons carries no charges on them.

Since the atom is made up of equal number of protons and electrons, the charge on it is 0.

If the number of electrons is more, the atom will be negatively charge but if the number of protons is more, it will be positively charged.
