Answer: precise

Explanation:

Three different people weight a standard mass of 2.00 g on the same balance. Each person obtains a reading of 2.32 g for the mass of the standard. These results imply that the balance that was used is precise.

Precision can be defined as the closeness of measured values to each other, for a measuring equipment it is the closeness of the values of readings obtained at different times to each other. It does not necessarily means the measurements are accurate(closeness to the actual value). Therefore, in the case above where three different people measured the same mass on the same balance, and each of them obtained the same value which is different from the standard value. We can say the balance used is precise because the three readings are the same.

A small drop of water is suspended motionless in air by a uniform electric field that is directed upward and has a magnitude of
Gennadij [26K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the electric field such as the smelting of the Force and the load (In this case the force is equivalent to the weight). Later we will apply the ratio of the total charge as a function of the multiplication of the number of electrons and their individual charge.

E = \frac{mg}{q}

Here,

m = mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

Rearranging to find the charge,

q = \frac{mg}{E}

Replacing,

q = \frac{(3.37*10^{-9})(9.8)}{11000}

q = 3.002*10^{-12}C

Since the field is acting upwards the charge on the drop should be negative to balance it in air. The equation to find the number of electrons then is

q = ne

Here,

n = Number of electrons

e = Charge of each electron

n = \frac{q}{e}

Replacing,

n = \frac{3.002*10^{-12}}{1.6*10^{-19}}

n = 2.44*10^7

Therefore the number of electrons that reside on the drop is 2.44*10^7

While entering a freeway, a car accelerates from rest at a rate of 2.40 m/s2 for 12.0 s. (a) Draw a sketch of the situation. (b)
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

a) See attached picture, b) We know the initial velocity = 0, initial position=0, time=12.0s, acceleration=2.40m/s^{2}, c) the car travels 172.8m in those 12 seconds, d) The car's final velocity is 28.8m/s

Explanation:

a) In order to draw a sketch of the situation, I must include the data I know, the data I would like to know and a drawing of the car including the direction of the movement and its acceleration, just like in the attached picture.

b) From the information given by the problem I know:

initial velocity =0

acceleration = 2.40m/s^{2}

time = 12.0 s

initial position = 0

c)

unknown:

displacement.

in order to choose the appropriate equation, I must take the knowns and the unknown and look for a formula I can use to solve for the unknown. I know the initial velocity, initial position, time, acceleration and I want to find out the displacement. The formula that contains all this data is the following:

x=x_{0}+V_{x0}t+\frac{1}{2}a_{x}t^{2}

Once I got the equation I need to find the displacement, I can plug the known values in, like this:

x=0+0(12s)+\frac{1}{2}(2.40\frac{m}{s^{2}} )(12s)^{2}

after cancelling the pertinent units, I get that  my answer will be given in meters. So I get:

x=\frac{1}{2} (2.40\frac{m}{s^{2}} )(12s)^{2}

which solves to:

x=172.8m

So the displacement of the car in 12 seconds is 172.8m, which makes sense taking into account that it will be accelerating for 12 seconds and each second its velocity will increase by 2.4m/s.

d) So, like the previous part of the problem, I know the initial position of the car, the time it travels, the initial velocity and its acceleration. Now I also know what its final position is, so we have more than enough information to find this answer out.

I need to find the final velocity, so I need to use an equation that will use some or all of the known data and the unknown. In order to solve this problem, I can use the following equation:

a=\frac{V_{f}-V_{0} }{t}

Next, since I need to find the final velocity, I can solve the equation just for that, I can start by multiplying both sides by t so I get:

at=V_{f}-V_{0}

and finally I can add V_{0} to both sides so I get:

V_{f}=at+V_{0}

and now I can proceed and substitute the known values:

V_{f}=at+V_{0}

V_{f}=(2.40\frac{m}{s^{2}}} (12s)+0

which solves to:

V_{f}=28.8m/s
