Metre - it's a French word - and I00.

A meterstick broke into two pieces. If one piece was 54 cm long how long was the other piece?

If the original meterstick was broken into two pieces, and one piece is 54 cm long, then the other piece would be the total length of the meterstick (100 cm) minus the length of the first piece. Therefore, the length of the other piece would be 100 cm - 54 cm = 46 cm.


What if 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 yo?

The average distance the meterstick has fallen would be (7.0 + 16.0 + 13.0 + 7.0 + 12.0) / 5 = 11.0 cm.


Is the center of gravity of a meterstick always located at the 50-cm mark?

No, the center of gravity of a meterstick is not always located at the 50-cm mark. The center of gravity of an object is the point where its weight is considered to act. For a uniform meterstick, the center of gravity will indeed be at the 50-cm mark because of its uniform density distribution, but if the density distribution is not uniform, the center of gravity could be located at a different point.


What would your percentage-error be if your meterstick is only 90 cm long?

To calculate the percentage error of a meterstick that is only 90 cm long instead of the standard 100 cm, you would use the formula for percentage error: ((\text{True Value} - \text{Measured Value}) / \text{True Value} \times 100). In this case, it would be ((100 - 90) / 100 \times 100 = 10%). Therefore, the percentage error would be 10%.

If you hang a meterstick in balance and then hang a 100g mass on either side of the meterstick at equal distances maintaining the balance of the meterstick what is the net torque on the system?

The net torque on the system is zero because the meterstick is in equilibrium. The torque created by the 100g mass on one side is equal and opposite to the torque created by the 100g mass on the other side, preventing the meterstick from rotating.
