The Answer is Accuracy.
Accuracy is the closest of a measurement to the actual value being measured.
The condition of being true or correct is accuracy and it is a term which is used in daily life, many fields of science. it is the degree of closeness of the measurement or values between the measurements of the quantity and the actual or true value, there is may be inaccuracy which is also due to many factors.

Onur drops a basketball from a height of 10m on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity has a magnitude of 3.7m/s2. We want

lbvjy [14]

Explanation:

It is given that, Onur drops a basketball from a height of 10 m on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity has a magnitude of 3.7 m/s².

The second equation of kinematics gives the relationship between the height reached and time taken by it.

Here, the ball is droped under the action of gravity. The value of acceleration due to gravity on Mars is positive.

We want to know how many seconds the basketball is in the air before it hits the ground. So, the formula is :

$\Delta x=v_ot+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

t is time taken by the ball to hit the ground

$v_o$ is initial speed of the ball

So, the correct option is (A).

How much tension is in a rope if it pulls a 5-kg bucket filled with water with an upward acceleration of 1m/s^2

liraira [26]

F=ma
Tension - weight = mass x acceleration
T - 5(9.81) = 5 x 1
T = 5 + 5(9.81)
T = 54.05 N
T ≈ 54 N

A beam of electrons moving in the x-direction enters a region where a uniform 208-G magnetic field points in the y-direction. Th

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

$1.26\cdot 10^7 m/s$

Explanation:

When a charged particle moves perpendicularly to a magnetic field, the force it experiences is:

$F=qvB$

where

q is the charge

v is its velocity

B is the strength of the magnetic field

Moreover, the force acts in a direction perpendicular to the motion of the charge, so it acts as a centripetal force; therefore we can write:

$qvB=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

m is the mass of the particle

r is the radius of the orbit of the particle

The equation can be re-arranges as

$v=\frac{qBr}{m}$

where in this problem we have:

$q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the magnitude of the charge of the electron

$B=208 G=208\cdot 10^{-4}T$ is the strength of the magnetic field

The beam penetrates 3.45 mm into the field region: therefore, this is the radius of the orbit,

$r=3.45 mm = 3.45\cdot 10^{-3} m$

$m=9.11\cdot 10^{-31} kg$ is the mass of the electron

So, the electron's speed is

$v=\frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(208\cdot 10^{-4})(3.45\cdot 10^{-3})}{9.11\cdot 10^{-31}}=1.26\cdot 10^7 m/s$
