Name some devices we use to make measurements

Physics
1 answer:
NikAS [45]2 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Ruler. A steel ruler aids the measurement and layout of straight lines. The ruler, also called "straightedge" or "straight-edged ruler," is a long, thin strip of wood, metal or plastic marked with increments of measurement.

Measuring Tape. The modern measuring tape's roughly palm-sized casing contains a coiled strip of metal marked with increments of measurement. The metal strip, called "tape," attaches to a spring which automatically retracts the tape into the casing following use.

Walking Tape Measure. The walking tape measure, also called "surveyor's measure," records the distance traveled by a wheel. An operator pushes the measure's wheel, similar to a bicycle wheel, by a handle as an attached ticker box displays feet or meters in the same format as a car's odometer.

Laser Measure. The laser measure offers point and shoot distance measurement. In its most basic form, a laser measure is a hand-held electronic device with a digital display.

Two go-carts, A and B, race each other around a 1.0 track. Go-cart A travels at a constant speed of 20.0 /. Go-cart B accelerate
maria [59]

Complete Question

Q. Two go-carts, A and B, race each other around a 1.0km track. Go-cart A travels at a constant speed of 20m/s. Go-cart B accelerates uniformly from rest at a rate of 0.333m/s^2. Which go-cart wins the race and by how much time?

Answer:

Go-cart A is faster

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The length of the track is l =  1.0 \ km  =  1000 \  m

       The speed of  A is  v__{A}} =  20 \ m/s

       The uniform acceleration of  B is  a__{B}} =  0.333 \ m/s^2

  Generally the time taken by go-cart  A is mathematically represented as

              t__{A}} = \frac{l}{v__{A}}}

=>          t__{A}} = \frac{1000}{20}

=>           t__{A}} =  50 \  s

  Generally from kinematic equation we can evaluate the time taken by go-cart B as

             l =  ut__{B}} + \frac{1}{2}  a__{B}} * t__{B}}^2

given that go-cart B starts from rest  u =  0 m/s

So

            1000 =  0 *t__{B}} + \frac{1}{2}  * 0.333  * t__{B}}^2

=>         1000 =  0 *t__{B}} + \frac{1}{2}  0.333  * t__{B}}^2            

=>         t__{B}} =  77.5 \  seconds  

 

Comparing  t__{A}} \  and  \ t__{B}}  we see that t__{A}} is smaller so go-cart A is  faster

A neutral copper block is polarized as shown in the figure below, due to an electric field made by external charges (notshown).
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

As point B is located inside the copper block so net electric field at point B is j.

Explanation:

Consider the figure attached below. The net electric field at location B,that is inside the copper block is zero because when a conductor is charged or placed in an electric field of  external charges, net charge lies on the surface of conductor and there is no electric field inside the conductor. As point B is located inside the copper block so net electric field at point B is zero as well direction of net electric field at point B is zero.

Draw/Label a motor OR give directions in words on how to build a motor.
Nina [5.8K]

you take a length of ordinary wire, make it into a big loop, and lay it between the poles of a powerful, permanent horseshoe magnet. Now if you connect the two ends of the wire to a battery, the wire will jump up briefly.When an electric current starts to creep along a wire, it creates a magnetic field all around it. If you place the wire near a permanent magnet, this temporary magnetic field interacts with the permanent magnet's field.
