Answer:

5.25%

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Accepted value = 238857 miles

Measured value = 226316 miles

Percentage error =.?

Next, we shall determine the absolute error. This can be obtained as follow:

Accepted value = 238857 miles

Measured value = 226316 miles

Absolute Error =?

Absolute Error = |Measured – Accepted|

Absolute Error = |226316 – 238857|

Absolute Error = 12541

Finally, we shall determine the percentage error. This can be obtained as follow:

Accepted value = 238857 miles

Absolute Error = 12541

Percentage error =.?

Percentage error = absolute error / accepted value × 100

Percentage error

= 12541 / 238857 × 100

= 1254100 / 238857

= 5.25%

Therefore, the percentage error is 5.25%.

RC time constant circuit if R 50 KOC-21 a TOSS c. 1.05 s . what is the expected RC value b. 10.55 d. 0.105 s

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Time constant of RC circuit is 0.105 seconds.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Resistance, $R=50\ K\Omega=5\times 10^4\ \Omega$

Capacitance, $C=2.1\ \mu F=2.1\times 10^{-6}\ F$

We need to find the expected time constant for this RC circuit. It can be calculated as :

$\tau=R\times C$

$\tau=5\times 10^4\times 2.1\times 10^{-6}$

$\tau=0.105\ s$

So, the time constant for this RC circuit is 0.105 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

Sandy is whirling a ball attached to a string in a horizontal circle over his head. If Sandy doubles the speed of the ball, what

jeka57 [31]

The tension in the string B) It quadruples.

Explanation:

The ball is in uniform circular motion in a horizontal circle, so the tension in the string is providing the centripetal force that keeps the ball in circular motion. So we can write:

$T= m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where:

T is the tension in the string

m is the mass of the ball

v is the speed of the ball

r is the radius of the circle (the lenght of the string)

In this problem, we are told that the speed of the ball is doubled, so

v' = 2v

Substituting into the previous equation, we find the new tension in the string:

$T' = m \frac{(2v)^2}{r}=4(m\frac{v^2}{r})=4T$

Therefore, the tension in the string will quadruple.

A bicycle racer rides from a starting marker to a turnaround marker at 10 m/s. She then rides back along the same route from the

vitfil [10]

Answer:

12.31 m/s

Explanation:

If we recall from the previous knowledge we had about speed,

we will know that:

speed = distance/ time.

As such:

The average speed of the rider bicycle is

average speed = total distance/ total time

Mathematically, it can be computed as:

$v_{avg} = \dfrac{d+d}{\dfrac{d}{v_1}+ \dfrac{d}{v_2}}$

$v_{avg} = \dfrac{2d}{\dfrac{d}{10 \ m/s}+ \dfrac{d}{16 \ m/s}}$

$v_{avg} = \dfrac{2}{\dfrac{1}{10 \ m/s}+ \dfrac{1}{16 \ m/s}}$

$v_{avg} = \dfrac{2}{\dfrac{13}{80 \ m/s}}$

$\mathbf{v_{avg} =12.31 \ m/s}$

A boy is holding a ball 1 m from the ground with a force of 20 N. He holds it still for 60seconds. How much power in watts is be

Sergio [31]

Answer:

Power = 0.33 Watts

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 1m

Force = 20N

First of all, we would solve for the work done by the boy.

Workdone = force * distance

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Workdone = 20*1 = 20J

Now to find power;

Power = workdone/time

Power = 20/60

Power = 0.33 Watts.
