What is the difference between error and uncertainty?

Physics
1 answer:
Andrej [43]4 years ago
6 0
Error is the difference between the true value of the measurand and the measured value.. Uncertainty characterizes the range of values within which the true value is asserted to lie with some level of confidence.

If that doesn’t help here’s the definition of both the terms,

Error:

A mistake

Uncertainty:

the state of being uncertain.

The maximum tension that a 0.80 m string can tolerate is 15 N. A 0.35-kg ball attached to this string is being whirled in a vert
zimovet [89]

Answer:

v=5.86 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the string, l = 0.8 m

Maximum tension tolerated by the string, F = 15 N

Mass of the ball, m = 0.35 kg

We need to find the maximum speed the ball can have at the top of the circle. The ball is moving under the action of the centripetal force. The length of the string will be the radius of the circular path. The centripetal force is given by the relation as follows :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v is the maximum speed

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{15\times 0.8}{0.35}} \\\\v=5.86\ m/s

Hence, the maximum speed of the ball is 5.86 m/s.

The hydronium ion concentration of your gastric fluid is 1.0 x 10^-2. you drink a tablespoon of milk of magnesia, which raises t
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

[OH⁻] = 1 × 10⁻¹¹ mol/dm³

Explanation:

Since the hydronium ion concentration of the gastric fluid is [H₃O]⁺ = 1.0 × 10⁻².

The pH at this point is pH = -log₁₀[H₃O]⁺ = -log₁₀[1.0 × 10⁻²] = 2

When milk of magnesia is added, the pH increases by one unit, so the new pH is 1 + 2 = 3

Since pH + pOH = 14, then pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 3 = 11

The hydroxide ion concentration of the fluid is gotten from

pOH = -log₁₀[OH⁻]

11 = -log₁₀[OH⁻]

-11 = log₁₀[OH⁻]

taking antilog

[OH⁻] = 1 × 10⁻¹¹ mol/dm³

a sealed bottle of water was taken from a refrigerator and left in a warm kitchen. explain in the terms of its molecules what ha
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The sealed bottle serves as an open system for the water molecules, thus heat energy can be exchanged with its surroundings. When the bottle is placed in a warm environment, there would be a gradual increase in the thermal energy of the molecules of water due to a change in the temperature of its surroundings.

Thus, the molecules of water closer to the boundary of the bottle absorbs heat, becomes lighter and changes position. This gradual process continues until all molecules attains an average temperature which equals that of the surroundings of the bottle.

Therefore, both the thermal energy and temperature of the water increases.

Brownian motion cannot be detected in colloids. True or false?
miskamm [114]
<span>Brownian motion is the random movement of colloidal particles suspended in a fluid. It is caused by random collisions of the molecules in the fluid medium. The particles in the solution or colloids are in constant random movement. A colloid has properties boundary to a homogenous and heterogeneous mixture. However in Brownian movement, the larger the size of a particle, the lesser its motion and the smaller the size of the particle, the higher is motion. Colloids in general have larger particle size and therefore it Brownian motion is sluggish. The statement is false.</span>
