M 25 m in the distance traveled and an uncertainty of 1 s in the elapsed time. (a) calculate the percent uncertainty in the dist
1 answer:
The answer for sub question A) calculate the percent uncertainty in the distance is 0.059%.
The answer for sub question B) calculate the uncertainty in the elapsed time is 9,012 s
The answer for sub question C) what is the average speed in meters per second is 4.681 m/s
The answer for sub question D) what is the uncertainty in the average speed is 0.0032 m/s
<h3>How are the answers calculated?</h3>To calculate the percentage of uncertainty of distance we have uncertainty = 25 m and distance = 42.188 km which is 42188 m.
Now x 100% = 0.059%
To calculate time elapsed, we have the following data:
2hr which is 7200 s, 30 min which is 1800 s and 12 s
Adding these all up, we get 9012 s.
The average speed in m/s is calculated by 42188 m/ 9012 s = 4.681 m/s
The uncertainty in average speed is calculated by 4.681 m/s x
= 0.0032 m/s

Answer:
Pressure of the gas = 12669 (Pa) and height of the oil is 1,24 meters
Explanation:
First, we can use the following sketch for an easy understanding, in the attached image we can see the two pressure gauges the one with mercury to the right and the other one with oil to left. We have all the information needed in the mercury pressure gauge, so we can determine the pressure inside the vessel because the fluid is a gas it will have the same pressure distributed inside the vessel (P1).
Since P1 = Pgas, we can use the same formula, but this time we need to determine the height of the column of oil in the pressure gauge.
The result is that the height of the oil column is higher than the height of the one that uses mercury, this is due to the higher density of mercury compared to oil.
Note: the information given in the units of the fluids is not correct because the density is always expressed in units of (mass /volume)
Answer:
<em>a) 3.56 x 10^22 N</em>
<em>b) 3.56 x 10^22 N</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
Mass of the sun M = 2 x 10^30 kg
mass of the Earth m = 6 x 10^24 kg
Distance between the sun and the Earth R = 1.5 x 10^11 m
From Newton's law,
F =
where F is the gravitational force between the sun and the Earth
G is the gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2
m is the mass of the Earth
M is the mass of the sun
R is the distance between the sun and the Earth.
Substituting values, we have
F = = <em>3.56 x 10^22 N</em>
<em></em>
A) The force exerted by the sun on the Earth is equal to the force exerted by the Earth on the Sun also, and the force is equal to <em>3.56 x 10^22 N</em>
b) The force exerted by the Earth on the Sun = <em>3.56 x 10^22 N</em>
