Give an example of how you could make a measurement that is, at the same time, very precise and very inaccurate

Answer:

Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true or accepted value. ... Precision is independent of accuracy. That means it is possible to be very precise but not very accurate, and it is also possible to be accurate without being precise. The best quality scientific observations are both accurate and precise.

The number of kilograms of water in a human body varies directly as the mass of the body. Upper AA 9393-kg person contains 6262

Pie

Answer:

54 kg

Explanation:

Mass of person = 93 kg = $m_p$

Mass of water = 62 kg = $m_w$

Dividing the above two masses we get

$\frac{m_p}{m_w}=\frac{93}{62}\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_p}{m_w}=1.5\\\Rightarrow m_p=1.5m_w$

Hence, the mass of the person is 1.5 times the mass of the water in them

Now, Mass of person = 81 kg = $m_p$

$m_p=1.5m_w\\\Rightarrow m_w=\frac{1}{1.5} m_p\\\Rightarrow m_w=\frac{1}{1.5} \times 81\\\Rightarrow m_w=54\ kg$

So, the mass of water in a person that has mass of 81 kg is 54 kg

An object moving in circular motion has a mass of 15 kg and a centripetal acceleration of 10 m/s2. What is the centripetal force

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

1) A

2) C

3) B

4) A

5) Incomplete information(picture missing)

6) Incomplete information(picture missing)

7) Incomplete information(picture missing)

8) A

9) C

10) C

Explanation:

1) m = 15kg, a = $10ms^{-2}$ , F = ma = 15*10 = 150N

2) m = 3kg, v = $4ms^{-1}$ , r = 4m, F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

$\frac{3*4^{2} }{4}$ = 12N

3) a = $10ms^{-2}$ , r = 10m, v=?

F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$ and F = ma

equating the two equations and cancelling a, we have:

$\frac{v^{2} }{r}$ = a

making v the subject of formula, we have:

v = $\sqrt{ar}$

= $\sqrt{100}$

= 10 $ms^{-1}$

4) r = 10m, v = $5ms^{-1}$ , a = ?

F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

F = ma

equating the above equations and making a subject of formula, we get:

a = $\frac{v^{2} }{r}$

a = 25/10 = 2.5 $ms^{-2}$

5) I can't find the picture associated with this question

6) I can't find the picture associated with this question

7) I can't find the picture associated with this question

8) F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

assuming m and r is unity, that is the values are 1 respectively, the formula simplifies to:

F = $v^{2}$

Now, if v is tripled

F = $(3v)^{2}$

F = 9 $v^{2}$

We can see that the force will be 9X greater than it was.

9) F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

assuming m and r is unity, that is the values are 1 respectively, the formula simplifies to:

F = $v^{2}$

Now, if v is doubled

F = $(2v)^{2}$

F = 4 $v^{2}$

We can see that the force will be 4X greater than it was.

10) F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

assuming m and v is unity, that is the values are 1 respectively

F = 1/r

if r is doubled,

F = 1/2 * 1/r

We can see that the force is 1/2 as big as it was

identify each type of radiation as ionizing or non-ionizing. remember that ionizing radiation deposits enough energy when absorb

Tju [1.3M]

According to the definition given, non-ionizing means using microwaves on a substance without causing charged ions to form by removing electrons from atoms.

<h3>What kind of energy exist?</h3>

The six primary forms of energy are chemical, electromechanical, photonic, muscular, geothermal, and nuclear fuel. Other research may focus on other forms including electrochemical, psychological, electromagnetic, and others.

<h3>Why is energy such a big deal?</h3>

Energy is a crucial part of our everyday life despite being just a basic human need. The buildings that people have constructed are heated and cooled by energy. Energy is needed to do things like lift your finger, get out of bed, or even merely go along the main corridor.
