Calculate the percent error of the distanc
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%
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%.
An inquisitive physics student and mountian climber climbs a 43.6 m cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water. He throws two stones vertically downward, 1.35 s apart and observes that they cause a single splash. The first stone has an initial velocity of 1.8 m/s. How long after release of the first stone do the two stones hit the water
Answer:
Explanation:
What we are basically looking for here is how long it takes the first stone to hit the water. We have everything we need to figure that out. We will use the equation
Δx = . Filling in, we will solve for t, the time is takes the first stone to hit the water (which is the same for both since they both hit the water at the same time):
which is a quadratic that we will have to factor. Get it into standard form, setting it equal to 0:
and factor to get that
t = 3.2 s and t = -2.8 s
Since time can't ever be negative, it takes 3.2 s for the stones to hit the water.
What is the net force on a remote controlled airplane if a force of 57.6N is applied West and a force of 95.7N is applied South?
Answer:
112 N at 239°
Explanation:
Applying,
Pythagoras theorem,
a² = b²+c².................. Equation 1
Where a = net force
From the question,
Given: b = 57.6 N, c = 95.7 N
Substitute into equation 1
a² = 57.6²+95.7²
a² = 3317.76+9158.49
a² = 12476.25
a = √12476.25
a = 111.7 N
a ≈ 112 N
Then the direction is given as
∅ = tan⁻¹(c/b)........... Equation 2
∅ = tan⁻¹(95.7/57.6)
∅ = tan⁻¹(1.66)
∅ = 58.9°
∅ ≈ 59°
Since the angle is in the third quadrant,
∅' = 59+180
∅ = 239°
Hence the right answer is
112 N at 239°
A box slides down a 28.0 degree ramp with an acceleration of 1.25 m/s2. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between
Answer:
[tex]\mu=0.39[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Angle [tex]\theta=28[/tex]
Acceleration [tex]a=1.25m/s^2[/tex]
Generally the equation for Frictional force is mathematically given by
[tex]F=\muN[/tex]
Where
[tex]N=mgcos \theta[/tex]
[tex]N=mgcos 28[/tex]
Since
Friction force is acting against move of box
Therefore
[tex]mgsin(28) - 1.25m = \mu mgcos(28)[/tex]
[tex]\mu=\frac{gsin(28) - 1.25}{gcos(28)}[/tex]
[tex]\mu=0.39[/tex]

Why would researchers not be allowed to recreate the Little Albert experiment today?
Answer:
Explanation:
En la historia de la ciencia se han dado auténticas barbaridades. Pruebas con animales que hoy no perdonaría nadie, o investigaciones de conducta con personas como la de la cárcel de Stanford, que se han saldado como una especie de pasado incómodo sobre los límites de la experimentación. Sin embargo, pocos se pueden acercar por su carácter perturbador al denominado experimento de Little Albert o Pequeño Albert: El salvaje intento por probar con un bebé que las fobias pueden ser condicionadas y aprendidas. Y lo que es peor, conseguirlo.
Esta idea surgió de la mente de John Broadus Watson, reconocido padre de la rama conductista de la psicología, que desde 1913 había comenzado a probar en animales sus tesis. Estas bebían directamente del los estudios de Iván Pavlov, fisiólogo ruso que ganó el Nobel en 1904 por sus estudios sobre el sistema digestivo, pero que también sentó precedentes sobre la psicología.

A 90 kg astronaut Travis is stranded in space at a point 12 m from his spaceship. In order to get back to his ship, Travis throws a 0.50 kg piece of equipment so that it moves at a speed of 4 m/ s directly away from the spaceship towards the left . How long will it take him to reach the ship? *hint find his speed after the collision and consider it a constant speed all the way back to his spaceship*
Answer:
Explanation:
This is a recoil problem, which is just another application of the Law of Momentum Conservation. The equation for us is:
[tex][m_av_a+m_ev_e]_b=[m_av_a+m_ev_e]_a[/tex] which, in words, is
The momentum of the astronaut plus the momentum of the piece of equipment before the equipment is thrown has to be equal to the momentum of all that same stuff after the equipment is thrown. Filling in:
[tex][(90.0)(0)+(.50)(0)]_b=[(90.0)(v)+(.50)(-4.0)]_a[/tex]
Obviously, on the left side of the equation, nothing is moving so the whole left side equals 0. Doing the math on the right and paying specific attention to the sig fig's here (notice, I added a 0 after the 4 in the velocity value so our sig fig's are 2 instead of just 1. 1 is useless in most applications).
0 = 90.0v - 2.0 and
2.0 = 90.0v so
v = .022 m/s This is the rate at which he is moving TOWARDS the ship (negative was moving away from the ship, as indicated by the - in the problem). Now we can use the d = rt equation to find out how long this process will take him if he wants to reach his ship before he dies.
12 = .022t and
t = 550 seconds, which is the same thing as 9.2 minutes
Which wave interaction results in a change in the direction of the wave as it passes through one medium to another medium?
Answer:
Refraction of waves involves a change in the direction of waves as they pass from one medium to another. Refraction, or the bending of the path of the waves, is accompanied by a change in speed and wavelength of the waves.
which type of image is formed by convex lens on a screen?
Answer:
The type of image formed on a screen by a convex lens is real, enlarged and inverted.
Explanation:
A lens can be defined as a transparent optical instrument that refracts rays of light to produce a real image.
Basically, there are two (2) main types of lens and these includes;
I. Diverging (concave) lens.
II. Converging (convex) lens.
A converging lens refers to a type of lens that typically causes parallel rays of light with respect to its principal axis to come to a focus (converge) and form a real image.
Basically, the type of image formed on a screen by a converging (convex) lens is real, enlarged and inverted because it is usually thick across the middle (causing rays of light to converge) but thin at the lower and upper edges.
When extrication will involve cutting the roof off a vehicle, stabilization of the vehicle should include:
Answer:
Deflating the tires by pulling the valve stems
Explanation:
When an accident happens, the EMT process is to take off the top of the vehicle of the highly damaged vehicle so that it can easily be assessed to rescue the vehicle occupants. This creates a bigger exit for the rescuers to take out the people. Vehicle extrication means removing the vehicle from around someone involved in a fatal collision, when other other ways of exiting is not advised or possible. to stabilize the vehicle you have to deflate all tires by pulling the valve stems.
A dart is thrown horizontally with an initial speed of 19 m/s toward point P, the bull's-eye on a dart board. It hits at point Q on the rim, vertically below P, 0.19 s later. (a) What is the distance PQ
Answer:
Explanation:
The dart will go forward horizontally with velocity of 19 m/s. It will also fall downwards with initial velocity of zero and gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s².
Distance PQ covered by the dart can be calculated using the following formula.
s = ut + 1/2 at²
u is initial velocity , a is acceleration and t is time.
Putting the values
s = 0 + 1/2 x 9.8 x .19²
= .1769 m
= 17.69 cm.

How did the English bill of rights impact the colonists views of government?  A. It established a process by which people could petition the government. B.It stated that freedom of religion should be respected by the government. C. It declared people’s freedom of political speech. D. It asserted that a rulers power are limited by a separate branch of government.
Answer:
C. It declared people’s freedom of political speech.
Explanation:
The English bill of rights limited the king's power and increased the power of the population. This is because after the declaration of rights, the king should take into account the will of the people so that he could be kept in power. On that occasion, the people should have understood that the king was not an absolute liber and that they had more political freedom to express when they felt the country was not being managed properly. This freedom was also given to the colonists, making them see themselves as an active factor within English politics and not a subordinate factor to the king.

sam says that beta particles are not used to irradiate food because they make it radioactive. Jo says that the reason is that beta particles would not be able to penetrate all the way through think packages of food. Who is correct, Sam or Jo?
Answer:
Jo
Explanation:
irradiating food doesn't make it radioactive (that's contamination) and beta particles are stopped by aluminium foil or thin metals, so it may not pass through thick packaging (usually gamma is used to irradiate foods as it can pass through the packaging)

Ali while driving to school computes the average speed for his trip to be 20km/hr on his return trip along the same route. There is less traffic and average speed is 30km/hr. What is the average speed for Ali's trip?
Answer:
25 km/hr
Explanation:
Since Ali's average speed for his trip to school is u = 20 km/hr and his average speed for the return trip to back home from school is v = 30 km/hr, thus his total average speed for the journey is thus V = (initial average speed + final average speed)/2 = (u + v)/2
Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
V = (u + v)/2
V = (20 km/hr + 30 km/hr)/2
V = 50 km/hr/2
V = 25 km/hr
So, the average speed for Ali's trip is 25 km/hr
