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

A ball is thrown downward with an initial velocity of 12.1 m/s. How long will it take to reach a velocity of -24.5 m/s? (Negativ
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The sig figs are off in the answer (unless you use -9.81 for the acceleration due to gravity. My classes always use -9.8, which is 2 sig figs. But nevertheless, we can solve it!) Use the velocity formula:

v_f=v_0+at where vf is the final velocity, v0 is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration due to gravity, and t is the time in seconds. Filling in, using the fact that both the velocities are negative since the ball is going down:

-24.5 = -12.1 +(-9.8)t or

-24.5 = -12.1 - 9.8t and

-12.4 = -9.8t and divide to get that

t = 1.27 sec
