Your friend states in a report that the average time required to circle a 1.5-mi track was 65.414 s. This was measured by timing

7 laps using a clock with a precision of 0.1 s. How much confidence do you have in the results of the report? Explain.

The time per lap was calculated by measuring the time for seven laps and dividing the total time by seven.

total time 65.414 s \times 7 =457.898 s.

It is given that the precision is of 0.1 s. it means it is correct upto 1 place beyond decimal.

So, the actual value could vary from 457.800 s to 457.899 s i.e. the time per lap could be 65.400 s to 65.414 s

It means measured time 65.414 s has maximum error of 0.021%. Hence, the measured value is quite precise.

If in a vernier callipers 10 VSD coincides with 8 MSD then the least count of varnier calliper is
ratelena [41]

Answer:0.2mm

Explanation:

The length of one VSD=8/10=0.8mm

The least count of the instrument is the difference between the length of one MSD and length of one VSD

The length of inebriated MSD=1mm

Therefore,

The least count=1-0.8=0.2mm

A cylinder is sliced in half along its diagonal. Determine the location of the center of mass and the inertia properties relativ
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

To better understand this problem, a cylinder sketch is attached before and after the cut, we see that after the cut, the shape of this resembles that of a right triangle.

We can find, the centroid in the xy plane, knowing that the centroid for a triangle is located a third of its base.

In the z axis there is no displacement of the centroid.

Answer:

Part a)

E = 3.66 eV

Part b)

\lambda = 508.5 nm

Explanation:

Part a)

change in the energy due to decay of photon is given as

E = h\nu

here we know that

\nu = 8.88 \times 10^{14} Hz

now we have

E = (6.6 \times 10^{-34})(8.88 \times 10^{14})

E = 5.86 \times 10^{-19} J

E = 3.66 eV

Part b)

While electron return to its ground state it will emit a photon of energy 2/3rd of the total energy

so we have

\Delta E = \frac{2}{3}(3.66 eV)

\Delta E = 2.44 eV

now to find the wavelength we have

\Delta E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

2.44 = \frac{1242}{\lambda}

\lambda = 508.5 nm

5. A nail contains trillions of electrons. Given that electrons repel from each other, why do they not then fly out of the nail?
diamong [38]

Answer:

Nails are made of iron. Iron consists of 26 protons and 26 electrons. protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged, so this force of attraction keeps the electrons together.

If electrons repel from each other, the positively charge protons and nucleus allow them to move in a definite orbit and prevent them flying out of the nail.
