Two students are working together on an experiment that measures the effect of different liquid fertilizers on the thickness of

plants’ stems. Which is most likely to result in the greatest amount of error in their scientific experiment?
One student measures the plant stem widths by using calipers. The other student measures the widths of the same plant stems again by using a different pair of calipers.

One student measures the plant stem widths by using calipers. The other student types the measurements as they are taken into a computer spreadsheet.

One student measures liquids for the experiment by holding the flask up at eye level. The other student measures liquids for the experiment while the flask sits on the table.

One student weighs liquids for the experiment by using a calibrated scale. The other student weighs liquids for the experiment by using a different calibrated scale.

I would say the greatest amount of error is introduced by eyeballing the flask at two different levels. You're supposed to measure liquids at eye level. The angle viewing downward could be off by a good amount

A thin copper rod 1.0 m long has a mass of 0.050 kg and is in a magnetic field of 0.10 t. What minimum current in the rod is nee
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

i = 4.9 A

Explanation:

Force on a current carrying rod due to magnetic field is given as

F = iLB

here we know that

i =current in the rod

B = 0.10 T

L = 1.0 m

now magnetic force is balanced by the weight of the rod

so we will have

iLB = mg

i(1.0)(0.10) = 0.05 \times 9.8

i = 4.9 A

You are flying a hang glider at 14 mph in the northeast direction (45°). The wind is blowing at 4 mph from due north.
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

<em>a) 17.05 mph</em>

<em>b) 54.7°  northeast direction</em>

<em>c) 10.71 mph</em>

<em>The direction is -22.58° relative to the east.</em>

<em></em>

<em>To head northeast, you must either increase your gliding speed or increase your angle relative to the x-axis greater than 45°.</em>

Explanation:

The question is a little confusing but, I guess the correct question should be;

You are flying a hang glider at 14 mph in the northeast direction (45°). The wind is blowing at 4 mph due north.

a) What is your airspeed?

b) What angle (direction) are you flying?

c) The wind increases to 14 mph from north. Now what is your airspeed and what direction are you flying? If your destination is to the northeast, how would you change your speed or direction so you might make it there?

NB: The difference in the question and my suggestion is highlighted boldly.

Your speed = 14 mph

direction is 45° northeast

Th wind speed = 4 mph

direction is north

We resolve the your speed and the wind speed into the horizontal and vertical components

For vertical the component component

V_{y} = 14(sin 45) + 4 = 9.89 + 4 = 13.89 mph

For the horizontal speed component

V_{x} = 14(cos 45) + 0 = 9.89 + 0 = 9.89 mph

Resultant speed = \sqrt{V^{2} _{y}+V^{2} _{x}  }

==> \sqrt{13.89^{2} +9.89^{2}   } = <em>17.05 mph  This is your airspeed</em>

b) To get your direction, we use

tan ∅ = V_{y} /V_{x}

tan ∅ = 13.89/9.89 = 1.413

∅ = tan^{-1}(1.413) = <em>54.7°  northeast direction</em>

c) If the wind increases to 14 mph from the north, then it means the wind blows due south. As before, only the vertical component is affected .

In this case,

V_{y} = 14(sin 45) - 14 = 9.89 - 14 = -4.11 mph

Resultant speed = \sqrt{V^{2} _{y}+V^{2} _{x}  }

==> \sqrt{4.11^{2} +9.89^{2}   } = <em>10.71 mph  This is your airspeed</em>

Your direction will be,

tan ∅ = V_{y} /V_{x}

tan ∅ = -4.11/9.89 = -0.416

∅ = tan^{-1}(-0.416) =<em> -22.58°  this is the angle you'll travel relative to the east.</em>

<em>To head northeast, you must either increase your gliding speed or increase your angle relative to the x-axis greater than 45°.</em>

Before the student releases the cart by cutting the tinsel string, what forces are acting on the cart?
Naya [18.7K]

Answer: TENSION and WEIGHT

Explanation:

Force experienced by the spring is called TENSION while the WEIGHT is the gravitational pull on the body towards the earth surface. Therefore the forces acting on the cart are TENSION and WEIGHT(weight acts downwards (along negative y-axis) while the TENSION upward(along positive y-axis).
