What unit is represented by the smallest intervals printed on a centimeter ruler?

Physics
1 answer:
Bumek [7]3 years ago
3 0
Millimeter is signified by the least intervals written on a centimeter ruler. A millimeter is a unit of length in the metric method which is equivalent to one thousandth of a meter which is the SI base unit of length. Therefore, there are one thousand millimeters in a meter. There are ten millimeter in a centimeter and one millimeter is equal to 1000 micrometers and precisely 5/127 of an inch.

The position of a particle moving along the x-axis depends on the time according to the equation x = ct2 - bt3, where x is in me
Sav [38]

Answer:

(a):  \rm meter/ second^2.

(b):  \rm meter/ second^3.

(c):  \rm 2ct-3bt^2.

(d):  \rm 2c-6bt.

(e):  \rm t=\dfrac{2c}{3b}.

Explanation:

Given, the position of the particle along the x axis is

\rm x=ct^2-bt^3.

The units of terms \rm ct^2 and \rm bt^3 should also be same as that of x, i.e., meters.

The unit of t is seconds.

(a):

Unit of \rm ct^2=meter

Therefore, unit of \rm c= meter/ second^2.

(b):

Unit of \rm bt^3=meter

Therefore, unit of \rm b= meter/ second^3.

(c):

The velocity v and the position x of a particle are related as

\rm v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}\\=\dfrac{d}{dx}(ct^2-bt^3)\\=2ct-3bt^2.

(d):

The acceleration a and the velocity v of the particle is related as

\rm a = \dfrac{dv}{dt}\\=\dfrac{d}{dt}(2ct-3bt^2)\\=2c-6bt.

(e):

The particle attains maximum x at, let's say, \rm t_o, when the following two conditions are fulfilled:

  1. \rm \left (\dfrac{dx}{dt}\right )_{t=t_o}=0.
  2. \rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}

Applying both these conditions,

\rm \left ( \dfrac{dx}{dt}\right )_{t=t_o}=0\\2ct_o-3bt_o^2=0\\t_o(2c-3bt_o)=0\\t_o=0\ \ \ \ \ or\ \ \ \ \ 2c=3bt_o\Rightarrow t_o = \dfrac{2c}{3b}.

For \rm t_o = 0,

\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}=2c-6bt_o = 2c-6\cdot 0=2c

Since, c is a positive constant therefore, for \rm t_o = 0,

\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}>0

Thus, particle does not reach its maximum value at \rm t = 0\ s.

For \rm t_o = \dfrac{2c}{3b},

\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}=2c-6bt_o = 2c-6b\cdot \dfrac{2c}{3b}=2c-4c=-2c.

Here,

\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}

Thus, the particle reach its maximum x value at time \rm t_o = \dfrac{2c}{3b}.

Increase the accurancy of a scientific experiment
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
The best way to increase the accuracy of a scientific experiment is to have a detailed plan of action for conducting the experiment. You should also repeat the experiment several times to ensure that you get the same result(s) consistently.<span />

We estimate the mass of the galaxy by observations of its ________ curve.
seropon [69]
The appropriate response is the rotation. There are most likely no less than 100 billion planets in the Milky Way. The Solar System is situated inside the circle, around 26,000 light-years from the Galactic Center, on the inward edge of one of the winding molded centralizations of gas and tidies called the Orion Arm.

A girl swings on a playground swing in such a way that at her highest point she is 4.1 m from the ground, while at her lowest po
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

V1 =8.1 m/s

Explanation:

height at highest point (h2) = 4.1 m

height at lowest point (h1) = 0.8 m

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

from conservation of energy, the total energy at the lowest point will be the same as the total energy at the highest point. therefore

mgh1 + 0.5mV1^{2} = mgh2 + 0.5mV2^{2}

where

  • speed at highest point = V2
  • speed at lowest point = V1
  • mass of the girl and swing = m
  • at the highest point, the  speed is minimum (V1 = 0)
  • at the lowest point the speed is maximum (V2 is the maximum speed)
  • therefore the equation becomes mgh1 + 0.5mV1^{2} = mgh2

      m(gh1 + 0.5V1^{2}) = m(gh2)

      gh1 + 0.5V1^{2} = gh2

      V1 = \sqrt{\frac{gh2 - gh1}{0.5}}

now we can substitute all required values into the equation above.

V1 = \sqrt{\frac{(9.8x4.1) - (9.8x0.8)}{0.5}}

V1 = \sqrt{\frac{32.34}{0.5}}

V1 =8.1 m/s
