An ant is crawling along a yardstick that is pointed with the O-inch mark to the east and the 36-Inch mark to the west. It start

s at the 19-inch mark, crawls to the 27-inch
mark, then moves to the 7-inch mark. What was the total distance the ant traveled?

Answer:

33 Inches

Explanation:

The movement of the ant is sketched in the attached image. The ant moved from the 19-inch mark to 27-inch mark covering a distance of 13 Inches (27 - 19). Finally, it moved from the 27-inch mark to 7-inch mark covering a distance of 20 Inches (27 - 7).

Total Distance covered = 13 + 20 = 33 Inches.

<em>Hence, the total distance the ant traveled is </em><em>33 Inches.</em>

Complete question

A student measures the mass of a 1.0 kg standard bar. He obtains measurements of 0.77 kg, 0.78 kg, and 0.79 kg. Which describes his measurements

a)precise but not accurate

b)accurate but not precise

c)neither precise nor accurate

d)both precise and accurate

Answer:

The measurement is precise but not accurate

Explanation:

A measurement can either be precise or accurate.

  • A Precise measurement describes how close the measured values are to each other.
  • An accurate measurement describes how close a measured value is to the true value.

In this question, the measured values (0.77 kg, 0.78 kg and 0.79 kg) are far from the true value (1.0 kg), therefore the measurement is not accurate.

However, the measured values (0.77 kg, 0.78 kg and 0.79 kg) are close to each other, therefore the measurement is precise.

Therefore the correct option is 'a' the measurement is precise but not accurate

Fed [463]

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data A parallel-plate capacitor of capacitance C with circular plates is charged by a constant current I. The radius a of the plates is much larger than the distance d between them, so fringing effects are negligible. Calculate B(r), the magnitude of the magnetic field inside the capacitor as a function of distance from the axis joining the center points of the circular plates. 2. Relevant equations When a capacitor is charged, the electric field E, and hence the electric flux Φ, between the plates changes. This change in flux induces a magnetic field, according to Ampère's law as extended by Maxwell: ∮B⃗ ⋅dl⃗ =μ0(I+ϵ0dΦdt). You will calculate this magnetic field in the space between capacitor plates, where the electric flux changes but the conduction current I is zero.

Kids are pelting a window with snowballs. On average, two snowballs of roughly 300-g mass hit the window each second, moving hor
hram777 [196]

Answer:

The average force exerted on the window due to two snowballs is 6 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of snowballs m = 300 \times 10^{-3} Kg

Velocity of snowball v = 10 \frac{m}{s}

For finding the average force,

Force is equal to the change in momentum,

   F = \frac{dP}{dt}

Here, final velocity is zero so we write,

 F = \frac{mv}{1}

Where dt = 1 sec

 F = 300 \times 10^{-30} \times 10

F = 3 N

Above value of force is due to one ball, but here given in question there are two ball,

F = 3 \times 2

F = 6 N

Therefore, the average force exerted on the window due to two snowballs is 6 N
