A student measures her height with a meter stick and finds that she is about 1.5 m tall. How can she measure her height with gre

ater accuracy and precision?​

Answer:

She should use a measuring tape

Explanation:

A student measures her height with a meter stick and gets a result of 1.5 m tall. This may not be as accurate as possible due to the fact that a meter stick has a maximum length of 1m which means an error could have occurred when she had to mark a point and then measure the remaining 0.5m.

She can however measure her height with greater accuracy and precision with a meter tape which has a wider measurement range and there won’t be any need to measure twice.

A particle that has mass m and charge q enters a uniform magnetic field that has magnitude B and is directed along the x axis. T
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

a) The trajectory will be a helical path.

b) θ = 2*π rad

Explanation:

a) Since the initial velocity of the particle has a component parallel (x-component) to the magnetic  field B , the trajectory will be a helical path.

b) Given

t = 2*π*m/(q*B)

We can use the equation

θ = ω*Δt

where

θ is the angular displacement

ω is the angular speed, which is obtained as follows:

ω = q*B/m

then we have

θ = (q*B/m)*2*π*m/(q*B)

⇒  θ = 2*π rad

Which of the following is true of changes in momentum?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer: ⇒  Answer is 3

<h2>Explanation: momentum = mass × velocity</h2>

"A small force may produce a large change in momentum by acting on a very massive object".

THEY HAVEN'T GIVEN US THE TIME PERIOD NOR THE DISTANCE TRAVELED. THEREFORE WE CANNOT ACTUALLY DECIDE IF THE FORCE IS KEPT FOR A LONG TIME OR SHORT TIME. ANYWAYS SINCE THE MASS IS GIVEN AS MASSIVE , THE  MOMENTUM SHOULD BE DEFINITELY HIGH.

WHY I SAY OTHERS ARE WRONG:

1) For a small force to give a large change in momentum, it should act for a long time interval.

2) By applying a large force for a short time interval, the change of momentum should be large.

3) Correct answer.

4) Acting over a short distance can be the same as acting over a short period of time.Therefore the distance should be large in order for a larger momentum.

A ball moving with an initial velocity of 5 m/s comes to rest after 2s. What was the ball's acceleration?
Inga [223]

Answer:

-2.5m/s²

Explanation:

The acceleration of a body is giving by the rate of change of the body's velocity. It is given by

a = Δv / t        ----------------(i)

Where;

a = acceleration (measured in m/s²)

Δv = change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity   (measure in m/s)

t = time taken for the change (measured in seconds(s))

From the question;

i. initial velocity = 5m/s

final velocity = 0 [since the body (ball) comes to rest]

Δv = 0 - 5 = -5m/s

ii. time taken = t = 2s

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

a = (-5m/s) / (2s)

a = -2.5m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the ball is -2.5m/s²

NB: The negative sign shows that the ball was actually decelerating.
