A student is studying simple harmonic motion of a spring. She conducts an experiment where she measures the amplitude and period

of an undamped system to be 23 ± 2 mm and 0.40 ± 0.020 seconds, respectively. Using the equation for displacement as a function of time y(t) = Acos(ωt), what is the uncertainty of her displacement calculation in mm for t = 0.050 ± 0.0010 seconds?

Answer:

5.9*10^{-4}m

Explanation:

to find the uncertainty of the displacement it is necessary to compute the uncertainty for the angular frequency:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{0.40s}=15.707rad/s\\\\\frac{d \omega}{\omega}=\frac{dT}{T}\\\\d\omega=\omega \frac{dT}{T}=(15.707rad/s)\frac{0.020s}{0.40s}=0.785rad/s

then, you can calculate the uncertainty in angular displacement:

\theta=\omega t\\\\\frac{d\theta}{\theta}=\sqrt{(\frac{d\omega}{\omega})^2+(\frac{dt}{t})^2}\\\\d\theta=\theta\sqrt{(\frac{d\omega}{\omega})^2+(\frac{dt}{t})^2}=0.0422

finally, by using:

y=Acos(\omega t)\\\\dy=dAcos(\omega t)d(\omega t)=(dA)cos(\theta)d\theta=(0.002m)cos(0.785)(0.0422)\\\\dy=5.9*10^{-4}m

Which pair correctly identifies the strongest and weakest fundamental forces,
Kay [80]

Answer: Option B.

Strong nuclear force Gravity.

Explanation:

Nuclear force is the strongest force while Gravity is the weakest force. Strong nuclear force is the strongest force because it's act and hold atoms of matter together. It also binds neutrons and protons together to form atomic nuclei and it's has strength of 1.

Gravity is considered the weak force out of the four fundamental forces because it has a very small strength of 10^40 than electromagnetic force.

an oscilloscope has a time/div setting of 50ms and there are 10 divisions on the time scale. a sine wave on the oscilloscope dis
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The frequency is f = 6Hz

Explanation:

Given

         The time division  setting is  d_t =50ms = 50*10^{-3}s

         The number of division is  n= 10

The total time for 10 division can be mathematically obtained as

         T_{total} = 10 *50*10^{-3}

                 =500 *10^{-3}s

From the question the time for 3 cycle is

        T_{total} = 500*10^{-3}s

Then the for one cycle which equivalent to the Period(T)  =  \frac{T_{total}}{3}

                                                               = \frac{500 *10^{-3}}{3}

The frequency is generally given as    f = \frac{1}{period} = \frac{1}{T}

    Now substituting values we have  

                              f = \frac{3}{500 *10^{-3}}

                                 = 6Hz

Gre4nikov [31]

To identify a satirical tone, look for words an author uses to exaggerate a particular character behavior to make that person appear ridiculous to the reader. The statement is True.

<h3>What is character?</h3>

What a person thinks upon a situation and get through it makes the character of a person and defines his behavior.

Given is a statement "To identify a satirical tone, look for words an author uses to exaggerate a particular character behavior to make that person appear ridiculous to the reader".

The words used by the person forms the character. So, the author searches for the word which says about his character but the reader finds it ridiculous.

Thus, the statement is true.
