Answer:

Absolute error=0.006

Percentage Relative error=0.6

Explanation:

The resistors have resistance of 24 ohm and 8 ohm.

The change in resistance is 0.5 and 0.3 ohm respectively.

Relative error for parallel combination of resistors is

= dR/R²

= dR1/R1² + dR2/R2²

= 0.5/(24)² + 0.3/(8)²

= 0.5/ 24*24 + 0.3/ 64

= 0.5/576+0.3/ 64

= 32 + 172.8/ 36,864

=204.8/ 36,864=0.0055

=0.006

Percentage error =Relative error *100

= 0.006* 100 = 0.6

A boy standing on a 19.6 meter tall bridge sees a motorboat approaching the bridge at a constant speed. When the boat is 27 mete
azamat

Answer:

A. 12 m/s

Explanation:

Let’s remember that the definition of velocity is the variation of position of an object respect with to time. We know that the boy dropped the stone when the boat was 27 meters from the bridge and the stone hit the water 3 meters in front of the boat. So, the Boat must have traveled x=27 m-3m=24 m. The next step is calculating the amount of time that took the boat to make that travel; coincidentally, it is the same time that takes the stone to reach the water.

The equation that describes the motion of the stone is:

y = y_0 + v_0 * t+1/2 * a * t^2

The boy drops the stone from rest, so we can say that v_0=0. We can fixate the reference line on top of the bridge, so y_0=0 as well. The equation will be then:

-19,6 m = -1/2 * 9,8 m/s^2  * t^2

t^2= -(19,6 m)/(-4,9 m/s^2) = 4,012 s^2

t=√(4,012 s^2) = 2,003 s

Knowing the time that takes the stone to reach the water, that is the same that time that the boat uses to travel the 24 meters. The velocity of the boat is:

v = ∆x/∆t = (27 m-3 m)/(2,003 s-0s) = 11,9816 m/s ≈ 12 m/s

Have a nice day! :D

160 students sit in an auditorium listening to a physics lecture. Because they are thinking hard, each is using 125 W of metabol
anastassius [24]

Answer:

minimum power should be used to operate the air conditioner is 4000 W

Explanation:

given data

students  n = 160

power p = 125 W

COP = 5.0

to find out

what minimum power should be used

solution

we know the COP formula that is given below

COP = students × power  / minimum power

minimum power = n × p / COP

put all value

minimum power = n × p / COP

minimum power = 160 × 125 / 5

minimum power = 4000 W

minimum power should be used to operate the air conditioner is 4000 W

A 1,160 kg satellite orbits Earth with a tangential speed of 7,446 m/s. If the satellite experiences a centripetal force of 8,95
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

8.02×10⁵ m

Explanation:

Equation for centripetal force:

F = mv²/r

Solving for r:

r = mv²/F

Given:

F = 8955 N

m = 1160 kg

v = 7446 m/s

r = (1160 kg) (7446 m/s)² / 8955 N

r = 7.182×10⁶ m

The height above the surface is:

h = 7.182×10⁶ m − 6.38×10⁶ m

h = 0.802×10⁶ m

h = 8.02×10⁵ m

What species has the electron configuration [ar]3d2?
Brrunno [24]

The given configuration is : [Ar]3d²

The inner shells of this species has the noble gas, Argon (Ar) configuration while its valence configuration is 3d².

Now the atomic number of Argon = 18

Therefore, the species will have an atomic number = 18 + 2 = 20

Based on the periodic table the species with atomic number 20 is calcium

Ca = [Ar] 3d²
