Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The percentage error in quantity P is 19%.

Explanation:

It is given that,

A physical quantity P is related to four observables a, b and c as follows:

[tex]P=\dfrac{a^3b^2}{c^4}[/tex]

The percentage errors of measurements in a, b and c are 1%, 4% and 2% respectively.

We need to find the percentage error in quantity P. It is given by :

[tex]\dfrac{\Delta P}{P}\times 100=(3\times \dfrac{\Delta a}{a}+2\times \dfrac{\Delta b}{b}+4\times \dfrac{\Delta c}{c})\\\\=3\times 1+2\times 4+4\times 2\\\\\dfrac{\Delta P}{P}\times 100=19\%[/tex]

So, the percentage error in quantity P is 19%.

Mr. Franklin uses a machine that has an efficiency of 80%. The machine applies a force of 800 N through a distance of 20 m. Mr. Franklin applies a force of 50 N on the machine. Through what distance does Mr. Franklin apply the force? 4 m 16 m 260 m 400 m

Answers

Answer:

The distance Mr Franklin applied the force is 400 m

Explanation:

The efficiency of the machine = 80%

The force applied by the machine = 800 N

The distance over which the force is applied by the machine = 20 m

The force applied by Mr. Franklin = 50 N

The work done by the machine = 800 × 20 = 16000 J

The ideal work at 100% efficiency = X

80% of X = 16000 J

X = 16000 N/0.8 = 20,000 J

Therefore, we have have;

Work = Force × Distance;

20,000 J = 50 N × Distance Mr Franklin applied the force

Distance Mr Franklin applied the force = 20,000 J/(50 N) = 400 m

The distance Mr Franklin applied the force = 400 m.

If you have a 200g sample of a radioactive isotope that has a half life of 50 years, hc
much will you have left at the end of 200 years?
a. 12.5 g
b. 100 g
c. 50 g
d. 25 g

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

a. 12.5 g

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial mass of the radioactive substance = 200 g

The half life of the radioactive substance = 50 years

The time duration for the disintegration = 200 years

The formula for half life is given as follows;

[tex]N(t) = N_0 \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^{\dfrac{t}{t_{1/2}}[/tex]

Where:

N(t) = Quantity of the remaining substance

N₀ = Initial radioactive substance quantity  = 200 g

t = Time duration  = 200 years

 

[tex]t_{1/2}[/tex] = Half life of the radioactive substance  50 years

Therefore, we have;

[tex]N(t) =200 \times \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^{\dfrac{200}{50} } =200 \times \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^4 = 12.5 \ g[/tex]

Therefore, at the end of 200 years, the quantity left = 12.5 g.

i)Distinguish between different methods of charging. ii) You are provided with a positively charged gold leaf electroscope. State and explain what happens when a. a glass rod rubbed with silk is brought near the disc of electroscope. b. an ebonite rod rubbed with fur is brought near the disc of electroscope. c. an uncharged metal rod is brought near the disc of electroscope d. a glass rod rubbed with silk is rolled on the disc of electroscope.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

On rubbing a glass rod with silk, the electrons from the glass rod get transferred to the silk. The silk now has an excess of electrons and so is negatively-charged. On the other hand, the glass rod is deficient in electrons and hence is positively-charged.

In the above case, the silk undergoes negative electrification.

Now, when the positively charged glass rod is touched on the disc of a negatively charged gold leaf electroscope, the electrons shifts towards rod, hence amount of charge on gold leaves decreases and the divergence between the gold leaves decreases as unlike charges attract each other.

Hence, the divergence decreases when a glass rod rubbed with silk is brought near the disc of negatively charged electroscope.

Each corner of a right-angled triangle is occupied by identical point charges "A", "B", and "C" respectively. Draw a sketch of this arrangement. "A" exerts force F on "B". An equal force F is exerted by "C" on "B" (/_ ABC= 90 degrees). Determine an expression for the net force on "B".

Answers

Answer:

Fnet = F√2

Fnet = kq²/r² √2

Explanation:

A exerts a force F on B, and C exerts an equal force F on B perpendicular to that.  The net force can be found with Pythagorean theorem:

Fnet = √(F² + F²)

Fnet = F√2

The force between two charges particles is:

F = k q₁ q₂ / r²

where

k is Coulomb's constant, q₁ and q₂ are the charges, and r is the distance between the charges.

If we say the charge of each particle is q, then:

F = kq²/r²

Substituting:

Fnet = kq²/r² √2

3) An earth moving machine uses diesel oil, which when burnt will produce 3.0x10 9 J of energy. The work performed by the machine is 2.7x 10 8 J. What is the efficiency of the machine?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The efficiency of a machine is the ratio of its output to its input. The efficiency shows how effective the machine by the way it converts the input energy into work. The higher the efficiency of the machine the more effective it is. The efficiency is usually less than 1.

Given that the machine uses diesel oil (input) that can produce 3.0 x 10⁹ J of energy while the work performed by the machine (output) is 2.7 x 10⁸ J. The efficiency is given as:

Efficiency = output / input = 2.7 x 10⁸ J / 3.0 x 10⁹ J = 0.09 = 9%

This means that the machine is not effective because of its low efficiency

The ways to measure the mass and volume of irregular object​

Answers

Answer:

When we have irregular objects, it may become very hard to calculate the volume of the object, as we actually can not use any simple equation to find it.

The mass is less tricky, just find a scale and wheight it, now we know the mass of the irregular object.

One way to measure the volume of the object is using water... how we do it?

Get some recipient with water, measure the height of the water.

Introduce your object into the water and totally submerge it, now the level of the water will rise. This is because as you introduce the object under the water, you are displacing up a given volume of water that has the same volume as the irregular object.

Now that you know the height of the water before and after you put your object, you can easily calculate the volume of water displaced, and that will be the volume of the object (the tricky part may be totally submerging the object if, for example, is wood and it floats, here you can use a thin wire to push it down but it will affect a little bit the measures.)

White light is spread out into its spectral components by a diffraction grating. If the grating has 1,970 grooves per centimeter, at what angle (in degrees) does red light of wavelength 640 nm appear in first order? (Assume that the light is incident normally on the gratings.)

Answers

Answer;

7.238°

Explanation

From question we know that the grating has 1,970 grooves per centimeter, we can convert to from (cm) to (nm) for unit consistency

The slit separation is expressed below

d=1cm/1970

d=0.0005076

=5076nm

Then the angle (in degrees) that the red light of wavelength 640 nm appear in first order can be calculated using expression below

Sin(x)= mλ/d

Where λ= wavelength=640 nm

d=slit separation

Sin(x)= mλ/d

Sin(x)=(1×640)/5076

=0.126

sin-1(0.126)

X= 7.238°

Therefore,the angle (in degrees) that the red light of wavelength 640 nm appear in first order is 7.238°

A round steel plate with a diameter of 20 cm is supplied with heat in such a way that its temperature changes from 22 ° C to 150 ° C. How much does its area increase?

Answers

Answer:

1.05×10⁻⁴ m²

Explanation:

ΔA = 2 A₀ α ΔT,

where ΔA is the change in area,

A₀ is the initial area,

α is the linear expansion coefficient,

and ΔT is the change in temperature.

A₀ = π (0.20 m / 2)² = 0.0314 m².

For steel, α = 13×10⁻⁶ /°C.

ΔT = 150°C − 22°C = 128°C.

ΔA = 2 (0.0314 m²) (13×10⁻⁶ /°C) (128°C)

ΔA = 1.05×10⁻⁴ m²

An object falls from a hovering helicopter and hits the ground at a speed of 30 m/s. How long does it take the object to reach the ground and how far does it fall? Sketch a velocity-time graph for the object (ignore air resistance).

Answers

Ignoring the air resistance it will take about 3 seconds for the object to reach the ground.We know that the acceleration due to gravity is 10m/s2.

We also know that the final velocity is 30 m/s while the initial velocity is 0 m/s

we can use the formulae for acceleration to calculate the time taken/

(final - initial velocity)/timetaken=10

(30-0)/timetaken=10

timetaken =30/10=3 seconds

A diver performs a dive from a 10 m-platform. She
jumps vertically upwards at 3 m s initially.
Find the time she takes to reach the water surface​

Answers

Answer:

The time she takes to reach the water from when she jumps off the platform is 1.71 s

Explanation:

According to the equations of motion, we have;

v = u - g·t

v² = u² - 2·g·s

s₁ = u₁·t₁ + 1/2·g₁·t₁²

The given parameters are;

The height of the platform (assumption: above the water) = 10 m

The velocity with which she jumps, u = 3 m/s

The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

The height to which she jumps, s, is found as follows;

v² = u² - 2·g·s

At maximum height, v = 0, which gives;

0 = 3² - 2×9.81×s

2×9.81×s = 3² = 9

s = 9/(2×9.81) = 0.4587 m

s = 0.4587 m

The time to maximum height, t, is found as follows;

v = u - g·t

0 = 3 - 9.81×t

9.81×t = 3

t = 3/9.81 = 0.3058 s

The total distance, s₁ from maximum height to the water surface = s + 10 = 0.4587 + 10 = 10.4587 m = 10.46 m

The time to reach the water from maximum height, t₁, is found as follows;

s₁ = u₁·t₁ + 1/2·g₁·t₁²

Where;

s₁ =  The total distance from maximum height to the water surface = 10.46 m

u₁ = The initial velocity, this time from the maximum height = 0 m/s

g₁ = The acceleration due to gravity, g (positive this time as the diver is accelerating down) = 9.81 m/s²

t₁ = The time to reach the water from maximum height

Substituting the values gives;

s₁ = u₁·t₁ + 1/2·g₁·t₁²

10.46 = 0·t₁ + 1/2·9.81·t₁²

t₁²= 10.46/(1/2×9.81) = 2.13 s²

t₁ = √2.13  = 1.46 s

Total time = t₁ + t = 1.46 + 0.3058 = 1.7066 ≈ 1.71 s.

Therefore, the time she takes to reach the water from when she jumps off the platform = 1.71 s.

The particles of a GAS within a closed container will collide with the container walls, exerting a FORCE. The force per unit of AREA is known as what?

Answers

Answer:

Pressure

Explanation:

One of the theories propounded by the Kinetic molecular theory, and which also provides an explanation of the several gas laws, is the statement that the gas molecules in a container, travel in straight lines and are in constant collision with themselves and the walls of the container, thus exerting force. This force is the pressure which is defined as the force per unit area.

There is no loss of energy in the collisions involving the gas molecules and that is why their movement can be described as elastic. The descriptions of the behavior of gas molecules in the Kinetic Molecular Theory, give rise to Charles law, Boyle's Law, Avogadro's Laws, Dalton's Law, and Amonton's Law.

Answer:

The pressure

Explanation:

Molecules of gases are constantly in motion, colliding with the walls of their container. This constant collision impacts force on the walls of the container, which depends on the speed with which the molecules are moving. The speed with which these molecules travel depends on the average kinetic energy of the molecules, which is proportional to the temperature.

This force when exerted per unit area is the pressure the gases exert on the walls of the container.
