Convert the following to relative uncertainties a) 2.70 ± 0.05cmb) 12.02 ± 0.08cm

Physics

DENIUS [597]3 years ago

data which is expressed in form of following way

a = a_o + \Delta a

here in above expression

a_o = true value

\Delta a = uncertainty in the value

now the relative uncertainty is given as

\frac{\Delta a}{a_o}

now by above formula we can say

a) 2.70 ± 0.05cm

here

True value = 2.70

uncertainty = 0.05

Relative uncertainty = \frac{0.05}{2.70} = 0.0185

b) 12.02 ± 0.08cm

here

True value = 12.02

uncertainty = 0.08

Relative uncertainty = \frac{0.08}{12.02} = 0.00665

Compare blue and red light from the visible spectrum. which has: the longer wavelength? the greater frequency? the greater energ
Hitman42 [59]
1) By looking at the table of the visible spectrum, we see that blue light has a wavelength in the range [450-490 nm], while red light has wavelength in the range [620-750 nm]. Therefore, red light has longer wavelength than blue light.

2) The frequency f of an electromagnetic wave is related to its wavelength \lambda by the formula
f= \frac{c}{\lambda}
where c is the speed of light. We see that the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength, so the shorter the wavelength, the greater the frequency. In this case, blue light has shorter wavelength than red light, so blue light has greater frequency than red light.

3) The energy of the photons of an electromagnetic wave is given by
E=hf
where h is the Planck constant and f is the frequency. We see that the energy is directly proportional to the frequency, so the greater the frequency, the greater the energy. In this problem, blue light has greater frequency than red light, so blue light has also greater energy than red light.

An object attached to a horizontal spring is oscillating back and forth along a frictionless surface. the maximum speed of the o
Andreas93 [3]
<span>First of all, the maximum speed occurs when the object passes through the
 equilibrium position

The kinetic energy when the object has this max speed is

K= 1/2 * mass * (1.25 m/s)^2

The potential energy in the spring when the speed is equal to zero

U= 1/2 * k * xmax^2

The maximun force of the spring is

mass*acceleration = k*xmax

m * 6.89 m/s2 = k * xmax
xmax = 6.89* m / k

0.5 * m * 1.56  = 0.5 * k * xmax^2

</span>m * 1.56  =  k * (<span>6.89* m / k )^2 </span>

1.56 m = 47.47 m^2 / k
