Answer:
Accuracy is how close a measured value is to an accepted value. <u>Precision is how close measurements are to one another.</u> To make measurements, you have to evaluate both the accuracy and the precision to get a correct value.
Answer:
In an elastic collision:
- There is no external net force acting. Thus, Momentum before and after collision is equal. Momentum remains conserved.
- Total energy always remains conserved as energy cannot be created nor destroyed. It can change from one form to another.
- There is no lost due to friction in elastic collision. So the kinetic energy is also conserved.
- Velocities may change after collision. If the masses are equal, the velocities interchange.
When one object is stationary:
Final velocity of object 1:
v₁ = (m₁ - m₂)u₁/(m₁ +m₂)
Final velocity of object 2:
v₂ = (2 m₁ u₁)/(m₁+m₂) =
- Objects do not stick together in elastic collision. They stick together in inelastic collision.
- One object may be stationary before the elastic collision.
Thus, conditions for an elastic collision:
- Energy is conserved.
- Velocities may change.
- Momentum is conserved.
- Kinetic energy is conserved.
- One object may be stationary before the elastic collision.
Answer:
false, true, true, true, false
Explanation:
Answer:
a♦1 E_average = n E₀ / 2
, b) E_average= infinity
Explanation:
The energy values form an arithmetic series, whose sum is
S = n (a₁ + aₙ) / 2 = n (2a₁ + (n-1) r)/ 2
Where n is the number of terms, a₁ is the first term, aₙ the last term and r is the difference between two consecutive numbers in the series
r = 2E₀ - 0 = 2E₀
Therefore the sum is
S = n (0 + n E₀) / 2
S = n² E₀ / 2
The average value is
E_average = S / n
E_average = n E₀ / 2
b) the case of harmonic oscillation
We have two possibilities.
- if we take a finite number and terms gives the same previous value
- If we take an infinite number of fears the series gives infinity and the average is also infinite
E_average= infinity
B. 1520 is the difference between their weights.
