8. How is precision related to significant figures?​

Physics
1 answer:
Tamiku [17]3 years ago
7 0
Accuracy refers to how closely a measured value agrees with the correct value. Precision refers to how closely individual measurements agree with each other. ... The number of significant figures is the number of digits believed to be correct by the person doing the measuring.

Describe the differences and similarities between an electromotor and a generator.
Effectus [21]

Differences:

An electrical motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy,where as a generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

The principle of a electric motor if there is a change of the magnetic field across a conductor  electrons are forced to move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field,where as in a generator if a charge is moving in a magnetic field, a force acts on the charge in a direction perpendicular to both the velocity of the charge and the magnetic field.

similarities:

Both electric motor and generator work on the magnetic effects of electric current.

Both have the armatures to rotate the loop.

George walks to a friend's house. He walks 750 meters North, then realizes he walked
Sauron [17]

Answer:

I think you are looking for the velocity, so the answer is 38.5 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity is giving by displacement/time. North will be positive and South will be negative, George travels 750 meters then travels -250 meters his displacement is then 750 - 250 or 500 meters. Divide that by 13 seconds to get 38.5 m/s.

Object A moves with a constant velocity of -10 m/s and object B moves with a constant velocity of 5 m/s. Which object has the la
KonstantinChe [14]
Object A has the larger speed because speed is not a vector quantity, it is scalar. This means that directionality, or in this case the sign of the velocity, doesn’t matter.
Speed = |velocity|
Object a speed =|-10|=10 m/s
Object b speed =|5|=5 m/s

Object a is the answer.

A plane is flying due west at 34 m/s. It encounters a wind blowing at 19 m/s south. Find the resultant veloci
Drupady [299]

Answer:

<em>The resultant velocity has a magnitude of 38.95 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Vector Addition</u>

Given two vectors defined as:

\vec v_1=(x_1,y_1)

\vec v_2=(x_2,y_2)

The sum of the vectors is:

\vec v=(x_1+x_2,y_1+y_2)

The magnitude of a vector can be calculated by

d=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

Where x and y are the rectangular components of the vector.

We have a plane flying due west at 34 m/s. Its velocity vector is:

\vec v_1=(-34,0)

The wind blows at 19 m/s south, thus:

\vec v_2=(0,-19)

The sum of both velocities gives the resultant velocity:

\vec v =(-34,-19)

The magnitude of this velocity is:

d=\sqrt{(-34)^2+(-19)^2}

d=\sqrt{1156+361}=\sqrt{1517}

d = 38.95 m/s

The resultant velocity has a magnitude of 38.95 m/s
