Uncertainty in measurements and calculations means difference between actual and measured data. We can say that all measurements have some degree of uncertainty. ... Systematic error (because of error in measuring instrument) 2. Random error (human errors such as- delay in starting, delay in stopping).

21) A youngster having a mass of 50.0 kg steps off a 1.00 m high platform. If she keeps her legs fairly rigid and comes to rest

zlopas [31]

Answer:

-22,150 N

Explanation:

When the youngster jumps off the platform, during the fall her initial potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, according to the law of conservation of energy. Therefore, we can write:

$mgh=\frac{1}{2}mu^2$

where the term on the left is the potential energy while the term on the right is the kinetic energy, and where

m = 50.0 kg is the mass of the youngster

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

h = 1.00 m is the heigth of the platform

u is the speed of the youngster as she reaches the floor

Solving for u,

$u=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(1.00)}=4.43 m/s$

Then, when the youngster hits the floor, the force exerted on her during the deceleration is given by:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}$

where $\Delta p$ is her change in momentum, and where

m is the mass

v = 0 is the final velocity (she comes to a stop)

u = 4.43 m/s is the initial velocity

$\Delta t=10.0 ms =0.010 s$ is the duration of the collision

Substituting,

$F=\frac{(50.0)(0-4.43)}{0.010}=-22150 N$

And the negative sign means the direction of the force is opposite to the motion (so, upward).

What is the difference between speed and volocity?

Sliva [168]

The average speed is the distance per time ratio. velocity is the rate at which the position changes

How are the three cell layers of an embryo related to its development?

Andru [333]

The said development of the cell where the three cell layers help out do it is called as Gastrulation. The three layers - called as ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm - tend to form as this happens. This is a process that's present in all living things except sponges.
