The uncertainty in a measured value is the possible variation in a measured value arising due to inaccuracies in the instrument being used. In the case described, the beats are 127 per minute, and the uncertainty is +/-4 beats. This means that the beats may actually be between 123 and 131.

The fractional uncertainty is: 4/127 = 0.031
And the percentage uncertainty is: 4/127 * 100 = 3.1%

Determine the average velocity and average speed for the following situation. A dog runs west for 35 meters then turns east for
mart [117]

Answer:

0.882 m/s average velocity and 1.71 m/s average speed

Explanation:

The dog travels a total of 35 m west and 110 m east.

110-35 = 75 m east of the starting position. Since velocity is a vector you must consider its first and final position and not the total distance traveled.

75 m / 85 s = 0.882 m/s average velocity

Speed is not concerned with direction so we instead add the total distance traveled which is 35+110 = 145 m. We then perform the same operation as before and divide by the time it took to run this distance.

145 m / 85 s = 1.71 m/s average speed

What is the power generated by a 45 kg person who walks up a flight of 12 stairs, each 30 cm high, in 12 s?
Free_Kalibri [48]
The total distance covered by the person is 12 times the height of each stair:
\Delta h=12 \cdot 30 cm=360 cm=3.60 m

The work done by the person to climb the stairs is equal to the increase in his gravitational potential energy:
W= \Delta U=mg \Delta h=(45 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(3.60 m)=1589.2 J

And therefore, the power generated by the person in 12 s is the work done divided by the time taken:
P= \frac{W}{t}= \frac{1589.2 J}{12 s}=132.3 W

So, the correct answer is B.

When the diaphragm contracts , air pressure in the chest increases . True or False ?
nexus9112 [7]

Answer: False

 

When the diaphragm contracts, the muscles will also contract and pull upward and increase the size of the thoracic cavity thus decreases air pressure inside during inspiration. After the diaphragm contracts, it goes to relaxation, the muscles will also relaxed. It gets looser and return to its original position higher up in the chest. This increase the pressure in the chest, which force the air in the lungs out through the nose.

Calculate the nuclear binding energy per nucleon for 136^Ba if its nuclear mass is 135.905 amu.
kompoz [17]

Answer:

1.312 x 10⁻¹² J/nucleon

Explanation:

mass of ¹³⁶Ba = 135.905 amu

¹³⁶Ba contain 56 proton and 80 neutron

mass of proton = 1.00728 amu

mass of neutron = 1.00867 amu

mass of ¹³⁶Ba = 56 x  1.00728 amu + 80 x 1.00867 amu

                      = 137.10128 amu

mass defect = 137.10128 - 135.905

                    = 1.19628 amu

mass defect = 1.19628 x 1.66 x 10⁻²⁷ Kg

                     = 1.9858 x 10⁻²⁷ Kg

speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

binding energy,

E = mass defect x c²

E = 1.9858 x 10⁻²⁷ x (3 x 10⁸)²

E = 17.87 x 10⁻¹¹ J/atom

now,

binding energy per nucleon =\dfrac{17.87\times 10^{-11}}{136}

                                              = 0.1312 x 10⁻¹¹ J/nucleon

                                              = 1.312 x 10⁻¹² J/nucleon
