The volume of a cylinder is V space equals space pi space r squared space h, where r is the radius of the circular faces and h i

s the height of the cylinder. Your measurements show that the mean value of r is 21 cm and its statistical and instrumental uncertainties turned out to be 0.10 cm and 0.20 cm, respectively. Likewise, that of h are 13 cm for the mean, 0.2 cm (statistical) and 0.3 cm (instrumental) for its uncertainties.
A. What can you say about which source of uncertainty has the largest contribution to the overall uncertainty of V ?
B. What would you need to do to improve (reduce) the uncertainty on your calculation of V?

Answer:

a) variable that introduces more uncertainty is the measurement of heigh

Explanation:

a) Uncertainty can be calculated by making differential days of volume

         V = π r² h

    the error absolute is

         ΔV = dV/dr  Δr + dV/dh   Δh

         ΔV = π h 2r Δr + π r² Δh

  to calculate the absolute error we use the instrument error

         ΔV = π 13 2 21 0.20 + π 21² 0.3

         ΔV = 343 + 415 = 758 cm³

         ΔV = 8 10² cm³

To see more clearly what measurement should be performed, look for the relative error

         ΔV / V = ​​2 Δr / r + Δh / h

         

let's use the uncertainties of the intrumetos

          ΔV/ V = ​​2 0.2 / 21 + 0.3 / 13

          ΔV / V = 0.019 + 0.023

let's use statistical uncertainty

          ΔV / V = ​​2 0.1 / 21 + 0.2 / 13

           ΔV / V = ​​0.0095 + 0.015

We see that the variable that introduces more uncertainty is the measurement of height, either with the uncertainty of the instrument if a single measurement is made or with the statistical uncertainty if several measurements are made.

b) To improve the precision of the medicines we must measure the height of the cylinder with more pressure, using an intricate that has less error.

Convert 3402kgm/s to 20000Newtons
oee [108]

The 3,402 has units of kg-m/s.  That's momentum.  The 20,000 has units of Newtons.  That's force.  Momentum and force are different physical things, and you can't convert them from one to the other.

The best I can do for you is something like this:

Let's say you have a moving object with 3,402 kg-m/s of momentum, and you want to STOP it completely.  You want to stand in front of it and push back on it, hard enough and for long enough to CHANGE its momentum from 3,402 kg-m/s to zero.

Also ... there's a limit to how hard you can push.  The most force you can exert is 20,000 Newtons.

The amount you'll change its momentum is called the <u><em>impulse</em></u> you give it.  The quantity of impulse is (force) x (length of time you push on it).

So you need to keep pushing it back for (T seconds) long enough so that

(20,000 Newtons of force) x (T seconds) = 3,402 kg-m/s of momentum .

Divide each side of that equation by (20,000 Newtons). Then it says:

(T seconds) = (3,402 kg-m/s) / (20,000 Newtons)

<em>T = 0.1701 second</em>

And that's how you provide just enough impulse to stop the flying object ... push on it with 20,000 Newtons of force for exactly 0.1701 second, and it loses all its momentum and falls out of the air onto the ground at your feet.

This story is the closest I can come to anything that looks like "convert"ing momentum into force.
