Upon comparison, it is evident that the student with the highest percent error is A. Student 4, who measured 9.61 m/s². Four students recorded the acceleration of gravity, with the accepted local value being 9.78 m/s². Now let's find out which student's measurement exhibited the greatest percent error.

A 2.40 kg stone is sliding in the +x-direction on a horizontal, frictionless surface. It collides with a 4.00 kg stone at rest.
inna [3103]

Answer:

4.32 kg.m/s

Explanation:

The 2.4 kg stone moves at a speed of 3.6 m/s with an angle of 30 degrees from the x+ direction towards y+. The momentum's y-component is calculated by multiplying its mass with its velocity in the y-direction.

P_y = m*v_y = m*v*sin(\theta)

P_y = 2.4*3.6*sin(30)

P_y = 2.4*3.6*0.5 = 4.32 kg.m/s

One kind of slingshot consists of a pocket that holds a pebble and is whirled on a circle of radius r. The pebble is released fr
ValentinkaMS [3465]

Answer:

θ=142.9°

Explanation:

d=1 *r

angle ϕ= 37.1°

The line between the pebble and the target must be tangential to a circle, hence

cos(180-ϕ-θ)=\frac{r}{d}=\frac{1}{1}

Therefore, θ=180-ϕ-cos^{-1} (\frac{1}{1} )

  θ= 180-37.1-0

  θ=142.9°

A 25N force is applied to a bar that can pivot around its end. The force is r=0.75 m away from the end of an angle at 0= 30. wha
ValentinkaMS [3465]
9.375 Nm. The torque is calculated using the formula τ = Frsin∅, where F is the applied force (newton), r is the radius (in meters), and ∅ is the angle formed with the bar. With F= 25N, r = 0.75m, and ∅ = 30°, the torque on the bar results in τ  = 25*0.75*sin30° = 25*0.75*0.5, yielding τ = 9.375 Nm.

The 3rd bright fringe of a double slit interference pattern is 30.0 cm above the central bright fringe. If the angle from the ho
Keith_Richards [3271]
12 degrees = (π / 180) x 12 radians =.2093 radians; the position of the third bright fringe is determined as 3λ D/d, where λ represents the light wavelength, D is the distance to the screen, and d is the slit separation. Thus, the equation results in 3λ D/d = 30 x 10⁻², and from the angular separation, we deduce 3λ/d =.2093. Substituting the two equations, we find.2093 D = 30 x 10⁻², leading to D = 30 x 10⁻² /.2093 = 1.43 m.
