Answer:

The correct degree of precision is 272.94 g.

Explanation:

Precision : It is defined as the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.

For Example: If you weigh a given substance five times and you get 2.7 kg each time. Then the measurement is said to be precise.

Level of precision is determined by the maximum number of decimal places.

In the given figure, the value of mass of object is 280 g. From the given options we conclude that the 272.94 g is more close to 280 g and has maximum number of decimal places. So, 272.94 g measurement is said to be precise.

Therefore, the correct degree of precision is 272.94 g.

Several springs are connected as illustrated below in (a). Knowing the individual springs stiffness k1 = 20 N/m, k2 = 30 N/m, k3

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The equivalent stiffness of the string is 8.93 N/m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring stiffness is

$k_{1}=20\ N/m$

$k_{2}=30\ N/m$

$k_{3}=15\ N/m$

$k_{4}=20\ N/m$

$k_{5}=35\ N/m$

According to figure,

$k_{2}$ and $k_{3}$ is in series

We need to calculate the equivalent

Using formula for series

$\dfrac{1}{k}=\dfrac{1}{k_{2}}+\dfrac{1}{k_{3}}$

$k=\dfrac{k_{2}k_{3}}{k_{2}+k_{3}}$

Put the value into the formula

$k=\dfrac{30\times15}{30+15}$

$k=10\ N/m$

k and $k_{4}$ is in parallel

We need to calculate the k'

Using formula for parallel

$k'=k+k_{4}$

Put the value into the formula

$k'=10+20$

$k'=30\ N/m$

$k_{1}$ ,k' and $k_{5}$ is in series

We need to calculate the equivalent stiffness of the spring

Using formula for series

$k_{eq}=\dfrac{1}{k_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{k'}+\dfrac{1}{k_{5}}$

Put the value into the formula

$k_{eq}=\dfrac{1}{20}+\dfrac{1}{30}+\dfrac{1}{35}$

$k_{eq}=8.93\ N/m$

Hence, The equivalent stiffness of the string is 8.93 N/m.

Fiber optics are an important part of our modern internet. In these fibers, two different glasses are used to confine the light

professor190 [17]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

$\theta_{max} =18.38^o$

New $n_{cladding} =1.491$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The refractive index of the core is $n_{core} = 1.497$

The refractive index of the cladding is $n_{cladding} = 1.421$

Generally according to Snell's law

$n_{core} * sin(90- \theta) = n_{cladding} * sin (90)$

Where $\theta_{max}$ is the largest angle a largest angle a ray will make with respect to the interface of the fiber and experience total internal reflection

$\theta_{max} = 90 - sin^{-1} [\frac{n_{cladding}}{n_{core}} ]$

$\theta_{max} = 90 - sin^{-1} [\frac{1.421}{1.497}} ]$

$\theta_{max} =18.38^o$

Given from the question the the largest angle is 5°

Generally the refraction index of the cladding is mathematically represented as

$n_{cladding} = n_{core} * sin (90 - 5)$

$n_{cladding} =1.491$

We are designing a crude propulsion mechanism for a science fair demonstration. One of our team members stands on a skateboardth

Scrat [10]

Answer:

greater speed will be obtained for the elastic collision,

Explanation:

To answer this exercise we must find the speed that the sail acquires after each impact.

Let's start by hitting a ball of clay.

The system is formed by the candle and the clay balls, therefore the forces during the collision are internal and the moment is conserved.

initial instant. before the crash

p₀ = m v₀

where m is the mass of the ball and vo its initial velocity, we are assuming that the candle is at rest

final instant. After the crash

the mass of the candle is M

p_f = (m + M) v

the moment is preserved

p₀ = p_f

m v₀ = (m + M) v

v = $\frac{m}{m+M} \ v_o$

for when n balls have collided

v = $\frac{m}{n \ m + M}$ v₀

Now let's analyze the case of the bouncing ball (elastic)

initial instant

p₀ = m v₀

final moment

p_f = m v_{1f} + M v_{2f}

p₀ = p_f

m v₀ = m v_{1f} + M v_{2f}

m (v₀ - v_{1f}) = M v_{2f}

this case corresponds to an elastic collision whereby the kinetic energy is conserved

K₀ = K_f

½ m v₀² = ½ m v_{1f}² + ½ M v_{2f}²

v₁ = v_{1f} v₂ = v_{2f}

m (v₀² - v₁²) = M v₂²

let's use the identity

(a² - b²) = (a + b) (a-b)

we write our equations

m (v₀ - v₁) = M v₂ (1)

m (v₀ - v₁) (v₀ + v₁) = M v₂²

let's divide these equations

v₀ + v₁ = v₂

Let's look for the final speeds

we substitute in equation 1

m (v₀ - v₁) = M (v₀ + v₁)

v₀ (m -M) = (m + M) v₁

v₁ = $\frac{m-M}{m + M}$ v₀

we substitute in equation 1 to find v₂

$\frac{M}{m}$ v₂ = v₀ - $\frac{m-M}{m+M}$ v₀

v₂ = $\frac{m}{M} ( 1 - \frac{m-M}{m+M} ) \ v_o$

v₂ = $\frac{m}{M} ( \frac{2M}{m+M} ) \ \ v_o$

v₂ = $\frac{2m}{m +M} \ v_o$

Let's analyze the results for inelastic collision with each ball that collides with the sail, the total mass becomes larger so the speed increase is smaller and smaller.

In the case of elastic collision, the increase in speed is constant with each ball since the total mass remains invariant.

Consequently, greater speed will be obtained for the elastic collision, that is, the ball will bounce.
