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.

A rock is dropped from the top of a tall building. The rock's displacement in the last second before it hits the ground is 46 %
olasank [31]

Answer:

height is 69.68 m

Explanation:

given data

before it hits the ground =  46 % of entire distance

to find out

the height

solution

we know here acceleration and displacement that is

d = (0.5)gt²     ..............1

here d is distance and g is  acceleration and t is time

so when object falling it will be

h = 4.9 t²   ....................2

and in 1st part of question

we have (100% - 46% ) = 54 %

so falling objects will be there

0.54 h = 4.9 (t-1)²       ...................3

so

now we have 2 equation with unknown

we equate both equation

1st equation already solve for h

substitute h in the second equation and find t

0.54 × 4.9 t² = 4.9 (t-1)²  

t = 0.576 s and  3.771 s

we use here 3.771 s because  0.576 s is useless displacement in the last second before it hits the ground is 46 % of the entire distance it falls

so take t = 3.771 s

then h from equation 2

h = 4.9 t²

h = 4.9 (3.771)²

h =  69.68 m

so height is 69.68 m

You are in a hot-air balloon that, relative to the ground, has a veloc- ity of 6.0 m/s in a direction due east. You see a hawk m
Ann [662]

Answer:

6.32 m/s 18.43° northeast

Explanation:

We express the velocity of hawk as:

v_{Hawk}=v_{balloon}+v_{HawkRelativetoBalloon}=6 x+2 y

We consider positive x towards east and positive y due north. So the magnitude is simply the square root of the square components:

|v_{hawk}|=\sqrt[]{6^2+2^2}=\sqrt{40}≈6.32 m/s

And the angle with respect to the east should be with:

arctan(\frac{2}{6} )=18.43 \°

Calculate the volume of 19 kilograms of petrol if the density of petrol is 800 kg/m?​
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

i hope this will help you :)

Explanation:

mass=19kg

density=800kg/m³

volume=?

as we know that

density=mass/volume

density×volume=mass

volume=mass/density

putting the values

volume=19kg/800kg/m³

so volume=0.02375≈0.02m³

How much energy does a 50 kg rock have if it is sitting on the edge of a 15 m cliff?
noname [10]

Answer:

7350 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of the rock sitting on the edge of the cliff is given by:

U=mgh

where

m is the mass of the rock

g is the gravitational acceleration

h is the height of the cliff

In this problem, we have

m = 50 kg

g = 9.8 m/s^2

h = 15 m

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find:

U=(50 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(15 m)=7350 J

The rectangular boat shown below has base dimensions 10.0 cm × 8.0 cm. Each cube has a mass of 40 g, and the liquid in the tank
Paladinen [302]

When boat is sunk into the liquid the net buoyancy on the boat is counterbalanced by weight of the boat

So here weight of the boat = Buoyancy force

let say boat is sunk by distance "h"

now we can say

F_b = \rho * V * g

F_b = 1000*0.10 * 0.08 * h * 9.8

now by above force balance equation we can write

m*g = F_b

0.040 * 9.8 = 1000 * 0.10 * 0.08 * h * 9.8

0.040 = 8h

h = 5 * 10^{-3} m

so boat will sunk by total 5 mm distance
