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

In which of the following conditions would there be the most resistance?
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

A) A warm wire

Explanation:

A warm wire has the most resistance. Heating the metal wire causes atoms to vibrate more, which in turn makes it more difficult for the electrons to flow, increasing resistance. Heating the wire increases resistivity.

A rocket initially at rest accelerates at a rate of 99.0 meters/second ^2.Calculate the distance covered by the rocket if it. At
Pani-rosa [81]

The distance covered is 1000 m

Explanation:

The rocket is moving by uniformly accelerated motion, so we can find the distance it covers by using the following suvat equation:

s=vt-\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance covered

v is the final velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

For the rocket in this problem, we have:

v = 445 m/s is the final velocity

a=99.0 m/s^2 is the acceleration

t = 4.50 s is the time

Substituting, we find the distance covered:

s=(445)(4.50)-\frac{1}{2}(99.0)(4.50)^2=1000 m

A 7.0kg skydiver is descending with a constant velocity
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The air resistance on the skydiver is 68.6 N

Explanation:

When the skydiver is falling down, there are two forces acting on him:

- The force of gravity, of magnitude mg, in the downward direction (where m is the mass of the skydiver and g is the acceleration due to gravity)

- The air resistance, R, in the upward direction

So the net force on the skydiver is:

F=mg-R

where

m = 7.0 kg is the mass

g=9.8 m/s^2

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force on a body is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration (a):

F=ma

In this problem, however, the skydiver is moving with constant velocity, so his acceleration is zero:

a=0

Therefore the net force is zero:

F=0

And so, we have:

mg-R=0

And so we can find the magnitude of the air resistance, which is equal to the force of gravity:

R=mg=(7.0)(9.8)=68.6 N
