The least count of stopwatch is 0.2s.The time of 20 oscillations of a pendulum was measured to be 25s.Find the percentage error

in the measurement of time​
Physics

Answer:

0.8%

Explanation:

We are given;

Number of oscillations; n = 20

Time taken; t = 25 s

Formula for period of oscillation;

T = t/n = 25/20 = 1.25 s

We are told that the least count is 0.2 s. Thus, error is; ΔT = 0.2 s

percentage error in the measurement of time is given by;

(0.2/(20 × 1.25)) × 100% = 0.8%

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Time of flight  A is greatest

Explanation:

Let u₁ , u₂, u₃ be their initial velocity and θ₁ , θ₂ and θ₃ be their angle of projection. They all achieve a common highest height of H.

So

H = u₁² sin²θ₁ /2g

H = u₂² sin²θ₂ /2g

H = u₃² sin²θ₃ /2g

On the basis of these equation we can write

u₁ sinθ₁ =u₂ sinθ₂=u₃ sinθ₃

For maximum range we can write

D = u₁² sin2θ₁ /g

1.5 D = u₂² sin2θ₂ / g

2 D =u₃² sin2θ₃ / g

1.5 D / D = u₂² sin2θ₂ /u₁² sin2θ₁

1.5 = u₂ cosθ₂ /u₁ cosθ₁      ( since , u₁ sinθ₁ =u₂ sinθ₂ )

u₂ cosθ₂ >u₁ cosθ₁

u₂ sinθ₂ < u₁ sinθ₁

2u₂ sinθ₂ / g < 2u₁ sinθ₁ /g

Time of flight B < Time of flight  A

Similarly we can prove

Time of flight C < Time of flight B

Hence Time of flight  A is greatest .

Which of these words describes humans
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
Human are eurkaryotic.  Eukaryotes are organisms that have cells with a nucleus.  Prokayotes are cells without a nucleus.  Protists are eukaryotic but they are usually single cellular. Also, human are not fungus.  Fungus cannot move and have to get food from its surrounding area.

An asteroid orbiting the Sun has a mass of 4.00×1016 kg. At a particular instant, it experiences a gravitational force of 3.14×1
Ksivusya [100]
<h2>The asteroid is 4.11 x 10¹¹ m far from Sun</h2>

Explanation:

We have gravitational force

                 F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

           Where G =  6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²

                       M = Mass of body 1

                       M = Mass of body 2

                       r = Distance between them

Here we have

                 M = Mass of Sun = 1.99×10³⁰ kg

                 m = Mass of asteroid = 4.00×10¹⁶ kg

                 F = 3.14×10¹³ N

Substituting

                   F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}\\\\3.14\times 10^{13}=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}\times 4\times 10^{16}}{r^2}\\\\r=4.11\times 10^{11}m

The asteroid is 4.11 x 10¹¹ m far from Sun

A car moving at a speed of 36 km/h reaches the foot of a smooth
boyakko [2]

Answer:

d = 10.2 m

Explanation:

When the car travels up the inclined plane, its kinetic energy will be used to do the work in climbing up. So according to the law of conservation of energy, we can write that:

Kinetic\ Energy\ of\ the \ Car = Work\ Done\ while\ moving\ up\ the\ plane\\\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = Fd

where,

m = mass of car

v = speed of car at the start of plane = (36 km/h)(1000 m/1 km)(1 h/3600 s)

v = 10 m/s

F = force on the car in direction of inclination = W Sin θ

W = weight of car = mg

θ = Angle of inclinition = 30°

d = distance covered up the ramp = ?

Therefore,

\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = mgdSin\theta\\\frac{1}{2}v^{2} = gdSin\theta\\\frac{1}{2}(10\ m/s)^{2} = d(9.81\ m/s^{2}) Sin\ 30^{0}

<u>d = 10.2 m</u>
