Given the value of possible error, the relative error of the measurement is 0.0095.

Given the data in the question;

Measurement taken; $m = 4.2cm$

Absolute or possible erorr; $e = 0.04m$

Relative error; $RE = \ ?$

<h3>Relative Error</h3>

Relative error is simply the ratio of the absolute or possible error of a measurement to the measurement its self.

Relative error is expressed as;

$RE = \frac{e}{m}$

Where e is the absolute or possible error and m is the measurement being taken.

To determine the relative error, we substitute our given values into the expression above.

$RE = \frac{0.04cm}{4.2cm} \\\\RE = 0.0095$ %

Therefore, given the possible error, the relative error of the measurement is 0.0095.

A bug splats against the windshield of a car traveling at high speeds down a backcountry road. Which statement correctly compare

zvonat [6]

Answer:

C. The bug's change in momentum is equal to the car's change in momentum.

Explanation:

As we know by Newton's 2nd law

$F = \frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}$

here we have also know that when car hits the bug then force applied by wind shield on the bug is same as the force applied by the bug on the car's wind shield as per Newton's III law

$F_{12} = F_{21}$

so we know that

$\frac{\Delta P_{12}}{\Delta t} = \frac{\Delta P_{21}}{\Delta t}$

so we have

$\Delta P_{12} = \Delta P_{21}$

so correct answer will be

C. The bug's change in momentum is equal to the car's change in momentum.

in a certain experiment, a radio transmitter emits sinusoidal electromagnetic waves of frequency 105.0 mhz in opposite direction

Romashka [77]

As a result, the hollow is 10.90 meters long and the distance between the nodal planes is 1.36 meters.

<h3>Explain electromagnetic waves.</h3>

The oscillations between an electric field and a magnetic field produce waves known as electromagnetic waves, or EM waves.

By definition, we understand that the frequency equals,

f = c/λ

where,

λ = wavelength

c= Speed of light

λ = 2L / n

While the wavelength is equal to,

Where,

L = Length

n = Number of antinodes/nodes

PART A) We know that the first component's wavelength is 110 MHz, so

λ = c/ f

λ = 3*10^8 / 11*10^6

λ = 1.36m

Therefore the distance between the nodal planes is 1.36m

PART B) For this part we need to find the Length through the number of nodes (8) and the wavelength, that is,

λ` = 2l /n

L = 8*2.72/ 2

L = 10.90m

Therefore the length of the cavity is 10.90m.

84. Three resitors each of value 30 respectively are connected in a parallel

kati45 [8]

Answer:

each resistor draws 1/3 of an amp or 0.33333 amps

Explanation:

V = I * R

V = 10 volts

R = 30 ohms

10 = I * 30 Divide by 30

10/30 = I

I = 0.33333
