Answer:

0.68 m

Explanation:

α = dL / L1*(dT)

dL = L1(dT) * α

Initial length, L1 = 100

Chang in Length =dL

α linear expansivity ; dL = change in length ; dT = change in temperature ; L1 = initial length

α of iron rod = 1.13 * 10^-5 k

dL = 100(40 - 10) * 1.13 * 10^-5

dL = 100(30) * 1.13 * 10^-5

dL = 3000 * 1.13 * 10^-5

dL = 3390 * 10^-5

dL = 0.0339 m

Error :

Distance measured = 2km = (2 * 1000) = 2000m

[Distance measured / (initial length + change in length)] × change in length

Error = (2000 / (100 + 0.0339)) * 0.0339

Error = (2000 / 100.0339) * 0.0339

Error = 19.993222 * 0.0339

Error = 0.6777702

Error = 0.68 m

what has more momentum, a baseball traveling at 4 m/s or a baseball traveling at 16m/s ? and which has more energy ?
Anna007 [38]
We know the formulas for momentum and energy. But they both involve the mass of
the object, and we don't know the mass of the baseball.  What can we do ?

It's not a catastrophe.  The question only asks which one is bigger.  If we're clever,
we can answer that without ever knowing how much the momentum or the energy
actually is.  We know that both baseballs have the same mass, so let's just call it
' M ' and not worry about what it really is.

<u>Momentum of anything = (mass) x (speed)</u>
Momentum of the first baseball = (M) x (4 m/s) = 4M
Momentum of the second one = (M) x (16 m/s) = 16M
The second baseball has 4 times as much momentum as the first one has.

<u>Kinetic energy of anything = 1/2 (mass) x (speed squared)</u>
KE of the first baseball = 1/2 (M) x (4 squared) = 8M
KE of the second one = 1/2 (M) x (16 squared) = 128M
The second baseball has 16 times as much kinetic energy as the first one has.

A person who weighs 150 pounds on Earth would weigh ____ pounds on the moon.
enot [183]

Answer:

25lb

Explanation:

You haven't changed (you are made up of the same atoms), but the force exerted on you is different. Physicists like to say that your mass hasn't changed, only your weight.
