a student is supplied with the following pieces of equipment:
• a small metal ball
• table tennis ball
• metre rule
• stop clock
• calculator
• light gate
• data logger
describe how the student can use this, or other additional equipment, to determine an accurate value for the acceleration of free fall (g). the student need not use all the equipment. show clearly what measurements should be taken and how the students should use these in determining (g). describe one source of error and how this might affect the value of (g).

(6 marks/year9/gcse)

Answers

Answer 1

Explanation:

Use a meter stick, small metal ball, stopwatch, calculator.

Have the students mark off a vetrtical distance from which to drop the metal ball. Ready the stopwatch, and start when the object is dropped and stop when the object contact the ground. Repeat 5 times and average the stopwatch times.

Now, use the formula d=vo+(1/2)at^2

There's no initial velocity, so d=(1/2)at^2

We know time and distance, so we can solve for a, acceleration.

2d=at^2

(2d)/(t^2)=a

Now, input the numbers gathered in the experiment in meters and seconds.

One source of error is human error (stopwatch timing)

Air resistance (although pretty negligible)

Which quantity is most closely related to the speed of gas particles? (2 points)

A The temperature of the gas

B The number of molecules in the gas

C The density of the gas

D The total volume of the gas

Answers

Quantity is most closely related to the speed of gas particles is the temperature of the gas.

Specifically, the speed of the molecules in a gas is dependent on its temperature (the higher the temperature the faster the gas molecules move). Another way to think of it is that the temperature of a gas is a measure of the average kinetic energy of that gas.

What is temperature ?

"Temperature is the measure of hotness or coldness expressed in terms of any of several scales, including Fahrenheit and Celsius. Temperature indicates the direction in which heat energy will spontaneously flow—i.e., from a hotter body (one at a higher temperature) to a colder body (one at a lower temperature)."

Someone fires a 0.04 kg bullet at a block of wood that has a mass of 0.5 kg. (The block of wood is sitting on a frictionless surface, so it moves freely when the bullet hits it). The wood block is initially at rest. The bullet is traveling 300 m/s when it hits the wood block and sticks inside it. Now the bullet and the wood block move together as one object. How fast are they traveling?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

This is a conservation problem.

The momentum before impact = momentum after impact

momentum before

m = 0.04 kg

v = 300 m/s

momentum after

m = 0.5 kg + 0.04kg    That's the mass of the block and bullet

v = ?

Solution

0.04 * 300 = 0.54 * x

12 kg m/s   = 0.54 kg * x

12 / 0.54 = x

x = 22.22 m/s

If the distance between 2 charged particles is double, the force between them changes by a factor of?

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Given that;

q1 and q2 are the magnitudes of the two charges while r1 is the distance between the charges.

F1 =kq1q2/r1^2

Then,

F2 = kq1q2/(2r1)^2

F2 = kq1q2/4r1^2

So,

F2 = 1/4 F1

The force between the charges changes by a factor of 1/4.

A printer has a power of 100 W. It takes 30 seconds to print out a document. How much energy will it
have used?

Answers

100W translates to 100 watts consumed in 1 hour. Assuming the printer consumes electrical energy at a steady rate, then: 100 ÷ 60 = 1.6667 watts per minute. 1.6667 ÷ 2 = 0.8333 watts consumed in 30 seconds.

A printer has power of 100 W, and it takes time of 30 seconds to print out the document, then the power consumed in 30 seconds will be 0.8333 W.

What is Power?

The quantity of energy moved or changed per unit of time is termed as power in physics. The watt, or one joule per second, is the unit of power in the International System of Units. Power is also referred to as activity in historical texts. A scalar quantity is power.

Power is connected to other factors; for instance, the power required to move a land vehicle is equivalent to the sum of the vehicle's velocity, traction force on its wheels, and aerodynamic drag.

Assuming the printer consumes electrical energy at a steady rate, then:

100 ÷ 60 = 1.6667 watts per minute.

Now, calculate the power consumed in 30 seconds,

1.6667 ÷ 2 = 0.8333 watts.

Therefore, the power consumed in 30 seconds will be 0.8333 watts.

area of small piston = 0.2 m²

Force = 100 N

pressure created on small piston

= 100 / .2 = 500 N/m²

According to Pascal's law , this pressure will be transmitted to larger cylinder .

4. Un móvil lleva una velocidad de 75 m/s, en dicho momento aplica los frenos durante tiempo de 15 segundos hasta detenerse. ¿cuál será la aceleración del frenado? ¿cuál es la distancia que recorre hasta detenerse?

Answers

Answer:

a = 5 m / s²   and    x = 562.5 m

Explanation:

Let's apply the kinematics relations

          v = v₀ + at

          v² = v₀² + 2a x

In this case, as the car stops, its final speed is zero (v = 0) and the acceleration must be opposite to the speed, that is, negative

           0 = v₀ - a t

           a = v₀ / t

let's calculate

           a = 75/15

           a = 5 m / s²

let's look for the distance

           0 = v₀² - 2a x

           x = v₀² / 2a

let's calculate

           x = [tex]\frac{75^2}{2 \ 5 }[/tex]

           x = 562.5 m

Identify what happens to the kinetic energy (KE) and gravitational potential energy (PE) of a rock as it falls.

KE and PE both increase.
KE and PE both decrease.
KE increases and PE decreases.
KE decreases and PE increases.

Answers

Answer:

KE increases and PE decreases.

Explanation:

POTENTIAL ENERGY (PE):

The potential energy of the rock depends upon the height of the rock, as given by the following formula:

P.E = mgh

Therefore, the potential energy will be highest at the initial point due to the highest height attained by rock. As the rock falls, its height will decrease as a result its potential energy will also decrease.

KINETIC ENERGY (KE):

The kinetic energy of the rock depends upon the velocity of the rock, as given by the following formula:

[tex]K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

Therefore, the kinetic energy will be zero at the initial point due to the zero velocity of the rock. As the rock falls, its velocity will increase as a result its kinetic energy will also increase.

Hence, the correct option will be:

KE increases and PE decreases.
