A space shuttle was launched from the Earth to the
moon. The average, or accepted, value of the distance
of the Earth to the moon is 238,857 miles, but the
shuttle crew recorded that their trip took 226,316 miles
5.25%
07.15%
3.75%
4.45%

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

5.25%

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Accepted value = 238857 miles

Measured value = 226316 miles

Percentage error =.?

Next, we shall determine the absolute error. This can be obtained as follow:

Accepted value = 238857 miles

Measured value = 226316 miles

Absolute Error =?

Absolute Error = |Measured – Accepted|

Absolute Error = |226316 – 238857|

Absolute Error = 12541

Finally, we shall determine the percentage error. This can be obtained as follow:

Accepted value = 238857 miles

Absolute Error = 12541

Percentage error =.?

Percentage error = absolute error / accepted value × 100

Percentage error

= 12541 / 238857 × 100

= 1254100 / 238857

= 5.25%

Therefore, the percentage error is 5.25%.

Luis rushes 40m toward his truck. He notices he forgot his shoes and returns back to his house. His total travel time is 60s.

What is Luis’s average speed over the 60s?
What is Luis average velocity over the 60s?

Answers

1. The average speed of Luis over the 60 s is 1.33 m/s

2. The average velocity of Luis over the 60 s is zero.  

1. The average speed can be calculated with the following equation:

[tex] S = \frac{d}{t} [/tex]

Where:

d: is the total distance traveled

t: is the total time = 60 s

The total distance can be calculated by the sum of the distance traveled to the truck (40 m) and the distance traveled to his home (the same 40 m), as follows:

[tex] d = 40 m + 40 m = 80 m [/tex]

So, the average speed is:

[tex] S = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{80 m}{60 s} = 1.33 m/s [/tex]

Hence, Luis's average speed over the 60 s is 1.33 m/s.

 

2. Now, the average velocity is a vector given by:

[tex]v = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} = \frac{x_{f} - x_{i}}{t}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]x_{f}[/tex]: is the final distance traveled (the way to his home) = 40 m

[tex]x_{i}[/tex]: is the initial distance traveled (the way to his truck) = 40 m

Δt: is the total time = t = 60 s

Given that Luis in his journey, returns to the same starting point (his house), the total displacement is zero, and so the average velocity is also zero:                              

[tex]v = \frac{x_{f} - x_{i}}{t} = \frac{40 m - 40 m}{60 s} = 0[/tex]

Therefore, Luis's average velocity over the 60 s is zero.

A car travels 100 km to the east. If the first half of the distance is driven at 50 km/h and the second half at 100 km/h, what is the average velocity

Answers

First half:

50 km at 50 km/hr ... 1 hour

Second half:

50 km at 100 km/hr ... 1/2 hour

Total distance = 100 km

Total time = 1.5 hours

Average speed = (100 km) / (1.5 hrs)

Average speed = 66 and 2/3 km/hr

Average velocity = 66 and 2/3 km/hr East

The average velocity of the car would be 66.67 Kilometers / hours.

What is Velocity?

The total displacement covered by any object per unit of time is known as velocity. It depends on the magnitude as well as the direction of the moving object.

As given in the problem a car travels 100 km to the east. If the first half of the distance is driven at 50 km/h and the second half at 100 km/h,

The average velocity of the car = Total displacement / total time

                                                     =100 / 1.5

                                                     =66.67 Kilometers / hours

Thus, the average velocity of the car would be 66.67 Kilometers / hours.

Two Carnot air conditioners, A and B, are removing heat from different rooms. The outside temperature is the same for both rooms, 314 K. The room serviced by unit A is kept at a temperature of 292 K, while the room serviced by unit B is kept at 298 K. The heat removed from either room is 4430 J. For both units, find (a), (b) the magnitude of the work required and (c), (d) the magnitude of the heat deposited outside for A and B conditioners respectively

Answers

Answer:

(a)  333.77 J

(b) 237.85 J

(c) 4763.77 J

(d) 4667.85 J

Explanation:

Temperature of source, TH = 314 K

Temperature of A, Tc = 292 K

Temperature of B, Tc' = 298 K

heat taken out, Qc = 4430 J

Let the heat deposited outside is QH and QH' by A and B respectively.

[tex]\frac{Q_H}{Q_c}=\frac{T_H}{T_c}\\\\Q_H = \frac{4430\times314}{292}=4763.77 J[/tex]

Now

[tex]\frac{Q_H'}{Q_c}=\frac{T_H}{T_c'}\\\\Q_H' = \frac{4430\times314}{298}=4667.85 J[/tex]

(a) Work done for A

W = QH - QC = 4763.77 - 4430 = 333.77 J

(b) Work done for B

W' = QH' - Qc = 4667.85 - 4430 = 237.85 J

(c) QH = 4763.77 J

(d) QH' = 4667.85 J
