In an experiment, students release a block from rest at the top of an inclined plane. The block slides down the plane through a

vertical displacement h, and the students measure the speed v of the block using a photogate. The students expect the speed of the block at the end of this motion would be v=2gh−−−√. However, the measured v is significantly different.
Which of the following is the most probable source of error the students should cite in their lab report?

A) The accuracy of the photogate

B) Friction

C) Mass of the block

D) Variations of the force of gravity

E) Air resistance

Answer:

B) Friction

Explanation:

The main source of error is the omission of the effect from friction between block and incline, which is directly proportional to the mass of the block. The force of gravity is constant. The friction force dissipates part of the gravitational potential energy, generating a final speed less than calculated under the consideration of a conservative system. Air resistance is neglected at low speeds like this case.

The charges for four ions are sodium (Na) +1, calcium (Ca) +2, fluorine (F) –1, and sulfur (S) –2. Which would be an ionic bond
Ludmilka [50]
The correct answer would be B. It is the compound Na2S that forms an ionic bond from the given ion above. From the choices, it is the only compound that exist and is available. Metals cannot react with another metal as well as nonmetal to nonmetal.

A jetboat is drifting with a speed of 5.0\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}5.0 s m ​ 5, point, 0, start fraction, start text, m, end tex
love history [14]

The question is incomplete. Here is the entire question.

A jetboat is drifting with a speed of 5.0m/s when the driver turns on the motor. The motor runs for 6.0s causing a constant leftward acceleration of magnitude 4.0m/s². What is the displacement of the boat over the 6.0 seconds time interval?

Answer: Δx = - 42m

Explanation: The jetboat is moving with an acceleration during the time interval, so it is a <u>linear</u> <u>motion</u> <u>with</u> <u>constant</u> <u>acceleration</u>.

For this "type" of motion, displacement (Δx) can be determined by:

\Delta x = v_{i}.t + \frac{a}{2}.t^{2}

v_{i} is the initial velocity

a is acceleration and can be positive or negative, according to the referential.

For Referential, let's assume rightward is positive.

Calculating displacement:

\Delta x = 5(6) - \frac{4}{2}.6^{2}

\Delta x = 30 - 2.36

\Delta x = - 42

Displacement of the boat for t=6.0s interval is \Delta x = - 42m, i.e., 42 m to the left.

Cylinder A is moving downward with a velocity of 3 m/s when the brake is suddenly applied to the drum. Knowing that the cylinder
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Incomplete question

Check attachment for the given diagram

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial Velocity of drum

u=3m/s

Distance travelled before coming to rest is 6m

Since it comes to rest, then, the final velocity is 0m/s

v=3m/s

Using equation of motion to calculate the linear acceleration or tangential acceleration

v²=u²+2as

0²=3²+2×a×6

0=9+12a

12a=-9

Then, a=-9/12

a=-0.75m/s²

The negative sign shows that the cylinder is decelerating.

Then, a=0.75m/s²

So, using the relationship between linear acceleration and angular acceleration.

a=αr

Where

a is linear acceleration

α is angular acceleration

And r is radius

α=a/r

From the diagram r=250mm=0.25m

Then,

α=0.75/0.25

α =3rad/sec²

The angular acceleration is =3rad/s²

b. Time take to come to rest

Using equation of motion

v=u+at

0=3-0.75t

0.75t=3

Then, t=3/0.75

t=4 secs

The time take to come to rest is 4s

An 80.0-kg object is falling and experiences a drag force due to air resistance. The magnitude of this drag force depends on its
Alja [10]

Answer:

 Terminal velocity of object = 12.58 m/s

Explanation:

 We know that the terminal velocity is attained when drag force and gravitational force are of the same magnitude.

Gravitational force = mg = 80 * 9.8 = 784 N

Drag force = 12.0v+4.00v^2

Equating both, we have

    784=12.0v+4.00v^2\\ \\ v^2+3v-196=0\\ \\ (v-12.58)(v+15.58)=0

  So v = 12.58 m/s or v = -15.58 m/s ( not possible)

 So terminal velocity of object = 12.58 m/s
