Answer:
1.) Micrometres screw gauge
2.) Tape rule.
Explanation:
Given that the diameter and the length of a thin wire, approximately 1m in length, are measured as accurately as possible.
what are the best instruments to use ?
To measure the diameter of a thin wire, the best instrument to use is known as micrometres screw gauge.
And to measure the length of a thin wire up to 1 m, the measuring device can be tape rule or long metre rule.
Answer:
e) 120m/s
Explanation:
When the ball reaches its highest point, its velocity becomes zero, meaning
.
where 
is the initial velocity.
Solving for 
we get
which is the time it takes the ball to reach the highest point.
Now, after the ball has reached its highest point, it turns around and falls downwards. After time 
since it had reached the highest point, the ball has traveled downwards and the velocity 
it has gained is
,
and we are told that this is twice the initial velocity ; therefore,
which gives
Thus, the total time taken to reach velocity 
is
This 
, we are told, is 36 seconds; therefore,
and solving for we get:
which from the options given is choice e.
Answer:
15.4 kg.
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of momentum,
Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision
mu+m'u' = V(m+m').................... Equation 1
Where m = mass of the first sphere, m' = mass of the second sphere, u = initial velocity of the first sphere, u' = initial velocity of the second sphere, V = common velocity of both sphere.
Given: m = 7.7 kg, u' = 0 m/s (at rest)
Let: u = x m/s, and V = 1/3x m/s
Substitute into equation 1
7.7(x)+m'(0) = 1/3x(7.7+m')
7.7x = 1/3x(7.7+m')
7.7 = 1/3(7.7+m')
23.1 = 7.7+m'
m' = 23.1-7.7
m' = 15.4 kg.
Hence the mass of the second sphere = 15.4 kg
