Answer:

Accuracy

Explanation:

Accuracy means making measurements that are close to the value precision means making measurement that are close in value to eachother but not necessarily close to the true value.

I hope this helps! If not sorry.

Nady [450]

Answer:

(a) 1.939 m/h

(b) 0.926 m/h

(d) -1.21 m/h

Explanation:

Here, we have the water depth given by the function of time;

D(t) = 7 + 5·cos[0.503(t-6.75)]

Therefore, to find the velocity of the depth displacement with time, we differentiate the given expression with respect to time as follows;

D'(t) = $\frac{d(7 + 5\cdot cos[0.503(t-6.75)])}{dt}$

= 5×(-sin(0.503(t-6.75))×0.503

= -2.515×(-sin(0.503(t-6.75))

= -2.515×(-sin(0.503×t-3.395))

Therefore we have;

(a) at 5:00 AM = 5 - 0:00 = 5

D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×5-3.395)) = 1.939 m/h

(b) at 6:00 AM = 6 - 0:00 = 6

D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×6-3.395)) = 0.926 m/h

D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×7-3.395)) = -0.315 m/h

(d) at Noon 12:00 PM = 12 - 0:00 = 12

D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×12-3.395)) = -1.21 m/h.

A 0.500-kg glider, attached to the end of an ideal spring with force constant undergoes shm with an amplitude of 0.040 m. comput

Nikitich [7]

There is a missing data in the text of the problem (found on internet):
"with force constant k=450N/m"

a) the maximum speed of the glider

The total mechanical energy of the mass-spring system is constant, and it is given by the sum of the potential and kinetic energy:
 $E=U+K= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 + \frac{1}{2} mv^2$
where
k is the spring constant
x is the displacement of the glider with respect to the spring equilibrium position
m is the glider mass
v is the speed of the glider at position x

When the glider crosses the equilibrium position, x=0 and the potential energy is zero, so the mechanical energy is just kinetic energy and the speed of the glider is maximum:
 $E=K_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2$
Vice-versa, when the glider is at maximum displacement (x=A, where A is the amplitude of the motion), its speed is zero (v=0), therefore the kinetic energy is zero and the mechanical energy is just potential energy:
 $E=U_{max}= \frac{1}{2}k A^2$

Since the mechanical energy must be conserved, we can write
 $\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2 = \frac{1}{2}kA^2$
from which we find the maximum speed
 $v_{max}= \sqrt{ \frac{kA^2}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{(450 N/m)(0.040 m)^2}{0.500 kg} }= 1.2 m/s$

b) the speed of the glider when it is at x= -0.015m

We can still use the conservation of energy to solve this part.
The total mechanical energy is:
 $E=K_{max}= \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2= 0.36 J$

At x=-0.015 m, there are both potential and kinetic energy. The potential energy is
 $U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}(450 N/m)(-0.015 m)^2=0.05 J$
And since
 $E=U+K$
we find the kinetic energy when the glider is at this position:
 $K=E-U=0.36 J - 0.05 J = 0.31 J$
And then we can find the corresponding velocity:
 $K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 0.31 J}{0.500 kg} }=1.11 m/s$

c) the magnitude of the maximum acceleration of the glider;

For a simple harmonic motion, the magnitude of the maximum acceleration is given by
$a_{max} = \omega^2 A$
where $\omega= \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }$ is the angular frequency, and A is the amplitude.
The angular frequency is:
$\omega = \sqrt{ \frac{450 N/m}{0.500 kg} }=30 rad/s$
and so the maximum acceleration is
$a_{max} = \omega^2 A = (30 rad/s)^2 (0.040 m) =36 m/s^2$

d) the acceleration of the glider at x= -0.015m

For a simple harmonic motion, the acceleration is given by
 $a(t)=\omega^2 x(t)$
where x(t) is the position of the mass-spring system. If we substitute x(t)=-0.015 m, we find
 $a=(30 rad/s)^2 (-0.015 m)=-13.5 m/s^2$

e) the total mechanical energy of the glider at any point in its motion. 

we have already calculated it at point b), and it is given by
 $E=K_{max}= \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2= 0.36 J$

Three heavy rods are all made of the same uniform material. These rods have lengths 3 m, 4 m, and 5 m, and compose the sides of

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

[ 2.67 , 1 ] m

Explanation:

Given:-

- The side lengths of the rods are as follows:

a = 4 m , b = 4 m , c = 5 m

a = Base , b = Perpendicular , c = Hypotenuse

- All rods are made of same material with uniform density. With

Find:-

Find the coordinates of the center of mass of the triangle.

Solution:-

- The center of mass of any triangle is at the intersection of its medians.

- So let’s say we have a triangle with vertices at points (0,0) , (a,0) , and (0,b).

Median from (0,0) to midpoint (a/2,b/2) of opposite side has equation:

bx−ay=0

Median from (a,0) to midpoint (0,b/2) of opposite side has equation:

bx+2ay=ab

Median from (0,b) to midpoint (a/2,0) of opposite side has equation:

2bx+ay=ab

Solve all three equations simultaneously:

bx−ay=0 , bx = ay

ay + 2ay = ab , 3ay = ab , y = b/3

bx = b/3

x = a / 3

So the distance from the median to each leg of the triangle is 1/3 length of other leg.

- So the coordinates of the centroid for right angle triangle would be:

[ 2a/3 , b/3 ]

[ 2.67 , 1 ] m

If the man on the left pulls on the object with a force of 500 N and the man on the right pulls on the object with a force of 75

Igoryamba

Force is a vector quantity
so pulling from opposite side will be negative
so
750+(-500)= 250N
C is the right answer
becauseause the man on the right applies greater force.
