Answer:

For example, one method for estimating the length of time it takes something to occur is to time it once using a stopwatch. You can reduce the uncertainty in this estimate by repeating the measurement and taking the average.

There are a lot of way to reduce the uncertainty however with real life sciences like quantum mechanics it will reveal more about the world and life if we have better measuring tools. Being precise is essential to understanding many parts of life.

Hope this helped! Have a great day!!!

A bowl contains 4 red balls and 2 green balls. Two balls are selected simultanesouly and at random. What is the conditional prob

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:0.6

Explanation:

Given

Bowl contains 4 red and 2 Green balls

Probability of selecting two red balls given atleast one of the ball is red + Probability of selecting two red balls given that no ball is red =1

Probability of selecting two red balls given that no ball is red $=\frac{Probability \ of\ selecting\ two\ red\ balls\ out\ of\ 4\ balls}{probability\ of\ selecting\ 2\ balls\ out\ of\ 6 balls}$

$P=\frac{^{4}C_2}{^{6}C_2}$

$P=\frac{2}{5}$

Required Probability $=1-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{3}{5}$

At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81 m/s2 . A watermelon has a weight of 40.0 N at the s

Mumz [18]

Answer

acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter's moon,g' = 1.81 m/s²

weight of water melon on earth, W = 40 N

acceleration due to gravity on earth, g = 9.8 m/s²

a) Mass on the earth surface

$M = \dfrac{W}{g}$

$M = \dfrac{40}{9.8}$

M = 4.08 Kg

b) Mass on the surface of Lo

Mass of an object remain same.

Hence, mass of object at the surface of Lo = 4.08 Kg.

c) Weight at the surface of Lo

W' = m g'

W' =4.08 x 1.81

W' = 7.38 N

1. A sprinter races in the 100 meter dash. It takes him 10 second to reach the finish line

poizon [28]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by a sprinter, d = 100 m

Time taken by him to reach the finish line, t = 10 s

We need to find his average velocity. We know that velocity is equal to the distance covered divided by time taken. So,

v = d/t

$v=\dfrac{100\ m}{10\ s}\\\\v=10\ m/s$

Hence, his average velocity is 10 m/s.

A 0.500-kg block, starting at rest, slides down a 30.0° incline with static and kinetic friction coefficients of 0.350 and 0.250

Leviafan [203]

Answer:x=23.4 cm

Explanation:

Given

mass of block $m=0.5 kg$

inclination $\theta =30$

coefficient of static friction $\mu =0.35$

coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu _k=0.25$

distance traveled $d=77.3 cm$

spring constant $k=35 N/m$

work done by gravity+work done by friction=Energy stored in Spring

$mg\sin \theta d-\mu _kmg\cos \theta d=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$mgd\left ( \sin \theta -\mu _k\cos \theta \right )=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$0.5\times 9.8\times 0.773\left ( \sin 30-0.25\cos 30\right )=\frac{35\times x^2}{2}$

$x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 0.5\times 9.8\times 0.773(\sin 30-0.25\times \cos 30)}{35}}$

$x=0.234 m$

$x=23.4 cm$

An 85 kg man and his 35 kg daughter are sitting on opposite ends of a 3.00 m see-saw. The see-saw is anchored in the center. If

wolverine [178]

Answer:

0.54m

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

length of seesaw= 3m

mass of man m1= 85kg

weight = mg

W1= 85*10= 850N

mass of daughter m2= 35kg

W2= 35*10= 350N

distance from the center= (1.5-0.2)= 1.3m

Step two:

we know that the sum of clockwise moment equals the anticlockwise moment

let the distance the must sit to balance the system be x

taking moment about the center of the system

350*1.3=850*x

455=850x

divide both sides by 850

x=455/850

x=0.54

Hence the man must sit 0.54m from the right to balance the system
