To determine the force acting on each mass it was assumed that g=9.8 m/s2. The value of g at the place where the experiment is performed may be slightly different from that value. State what effect (if any) it would have on the percentage error calculated for the comparisons. To test your answer to the question, leave g as a symbol in the calculation of the percentage error

To determine the force acting on each mass it was assumed that g = 9.80 m/s2. The value of g at the place where the experiment is performed may be slightly different from that value. State what effect (if any) it would have on the percentage error calculated for the comparisons. To test your answer to the question, leave g as a symbol in the calculation of the percentage error.
The air resistance to the motion of a vehicle is something important that engineers investigate. As you may also know, the drag force acting on a car is determined experiementally by placing the car in a wind tunnel. For a given car, the experimental data is generally represented by a single coefficient that is called the drag coefficient. It is given by the relationship C(4)=F(d)/ 1/2 pV^2 (A) What is the appropiate unit for C, if the proceeding equation is to be homogeneous in units? show all steps of your work
For the system forces showed, calculate the magnitude of the resulting force from the forces F, P, and Q. In addition, determine in degrees the direction angles of this resultant force found. PROCESS:1. (25%) Decompose each of the shown forces into its rectangular components. For which use the method of projections with the force F and the two-point method of the line of action of the forces P and Q.
Your friend drops a meterstick and then you catch it. You repeat this 5 times, writing down how far the stick has fallen each time. You get 7.0 cm, 16.0 cm, 13.0 cm, 7.0 cm, and 12.0 cm. What is your average reaction time for this experiment? Take the average by first determining the times which correspond to each distance, and then averaging these times. Your average reaction time is _________ seconds. (Answer with at least 2 significant figures.)
An experiment is performed in an ideal condition to find out the velocity of a particle obeying the equation S=vtS=vt where the distance travelled (S)(S) inside a labeled glass tube by a particle with an uniform velocity (v)(v) is measured with respect to time taken (t)(t). The data collected by repeating the experiment five times is shown in the table below If we use the method to minimize the squared sum error, what is the most likely velocity of the particle among the given options? 2.5 1.5 2 1

Assuming we take several trials where the total mass ?1+?2 is constant, but we redistribute themasses between ?1 and ?2. The equation you derived as your answer to the Problem (2) would apply. (a) Assume that we took these trials and plottedthe difference in the weights,??−??, on the ?-axis and the accelerationon the ?-axis. What would be the theoretical value–that is, in terms of other known quantities –of the slope?(Once again, you can think of this in terms of your equation answer to the previous problem. (b) For the same plot, what would be the theoretical value of the intercept? (c)Now consider if there were another constant force in the equation, such as friction. What would the theoretical value of the interceptbe in this case? (justify)
