what factors limit the accuracy of a potentiometer and what was the objective of reversing the terminals of the cell​

Physics

7 0

Explanation:

<em>"The accuracy of a potentiometer can be increased by decreasing the potential gradient across the potentiometer wire, and this can be achieved by increasing the length"</em>

<em />

<u>The factors that are affecting/limiting the accuracy of the potentiometer are: </u>

  1. The specific resistance of the material of the potentiometer wire.
  2. The potential gradient
  3. The current passing through the potentiometer wire.
  4. Area of a cross-section of the wire
  5. Internal temperature.

     

<u>The objective of reversing the terminals of the cell​</u>

If the jockey of the potentiometer is pressed for a long time, joule heating sets in, so that reversing the terminals of the potentiometer will prevent the resistance due to joule heat from being added to the measured resistance, ultimately preventing unwanted resistance

An object is moving with a constant velocity of 278 m/s. How long will it take it to travel 7500 m, using the formula Delta X=Vt
rusak2 [61]
If the velocity is constant then the acceleration of the object is zero.
a=0 (m/s^2)
Thus when we apply the equation
\Delta X=vt+(at^2/2)
It remains
\Delta X =vt
or equivalent
t=(\Delta X/v) =7500/278 =26.98 (seconds)

How many kcalories are provided by a food that contains 25 g carbohydrate, 6 g protein, and 5 g fat?
MrRissso [65]

<u>169 Kcalories</u> are provided by a portion of food that has 25 grams of carbs, 6 grams of protein, and 5 grams of fat.

Kcalories mean kilo-calories. Basically, kilo-calorie or kcal refers to 1,000 calories. To get the Kcalories of food, you have to add the kcal of carbohydrates, protein, and fat.

Get the product by multiplying the number of grams of carbohydrate, protein, and fat by 4,4, and 9, respectively. So if you want to get the energy or Kcal available from a meal, you must then combine the outcomes.

Simply put it, take note of the following conversions:

  • 1 gram of carbohydrate is 4kcal
  • 1 gram of protein is also 4kcal
  • Though, 1 gram of fat is 9kcal

So here's how to compute the Kcalories of food that contains 25g carbs, 6g protein, and 5g fat.

1.    25g x 4kcal/g = 100kcal

2.    6g x 4kcal/g = 24kcal

3.    5g x 9kcal/g = 45kcal

4.    100kcal + 24kcal + 45kcal = 169kcal!


Therefore, the food contains 169 kilo-calories!
