Compare and contrast tension,compression and extension

1 answer:

8 0

In physical science, tension can be described as the motion that applies a pulling force that is transmitted axially through cables, chains, or string. On the other hand, compression is the application of balanced inward forces while extension is the application of balanced outward forces in the same axis through the object.

A body of volume 100cc immersed completely in water contained in a jar. The weight of water and jar before immersion of the body

BlackZzzverrR [31]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

800gm

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Archimedes principle states that when an object is immersed in a liquid there is an apparent loss of weight of the object. This apparent loss of weight is also the upthrust experienced by the liquid. The upthrust is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.

Following from the above statement, when the body of volume 100c.c is immersed in the water contained in the jar, the upthrust experienced is equal to the weight of the water displaced.

<em>Note: In the question, weight is measured just using the mass.</em>

Mass (m) is the product of density (ρ) of liquid (which is water in this case) and volume (v) of body immersed. i.e

m = ρ x v

Where;

ρ = 1 gm/cm³

v = 100c.c = 100cm³

=> m = 1 gm/cm³ x 100cm³

=> m = 100gm

Therefore the weight of water displaced is 100gm

Now, the weight of the water and jar after immersion is the sum of the weight of water and jar before immersion, and the weight of the water displaced. i.e

Weight of water and jar after immersion = 700gm + 100gm = 800gm

What is the speed of the object in the graph? Explain

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

0.8m per second

Explanation:

we measure speed as distance over time

distance=8m

time=10s

therefore speed = 8/10

=0.8m per second

An object is released from rest and falls in free fall motion. The speed v of the object after it has fallen a distance y is giv

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

8.91 %

Explanation:

Since v² = 2gy

By the relative error formula,

2Δv/v = Δg/g + Δy/y multiplying by 100%, we have

2Δv/v × 100% = Δg/g × 100 % + Δy/y × 100%

2(Δv/v × 100%) = Δg/g × 100 % + Δy/y × 100%

Δg/g × 100 % = 2(Δv/v × 100%) - Δy/y × 100%

Since Δv/v × 100% = 3.69 % and Δy/y × 100% = 5 %

Since we have a difference for the percentage error in g, we square the percentage errors and add them together. So,

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = [2(Δv/v × 100%)]² + [Δy/y × 100%]²

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = [2(3.69)]² + [5%]²

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = [4)(3.69 %)² + [5%]²

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = 54.4644 %² + 25%²

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = 79.4644 %²

taking square-root of both sides, we have

[Δg/g × 100 %] = 8.91 %

So, the percent uncertainty in the calculated value of g is 8.91 %
