A digital thermometer reads 15 degrees Celsius, what is the uncertainty?

Physics

Artyom0805 [142]3 years ago

The uncertainty of the accurate measurement of temperature with a digital thermometer ranges from -1 to +1. So, here in this case, the uncertainty in temperature will be 14 degree to 16 degree Celsius.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Uncertainty in Measurement

The measurements of objects we observe through our eyes using analog or digital equipment, have some uncertainties. it's not surely the accurate measurement that we observe. Hence, while taking measurements, we must have taken an uncertainty range in the values.

For example, if we take a digital thermometer, which measures the temperature as 15 degree Celsius; it means that the accurate temperature may vary from by the difference of either -1 or + 1 i.e., either 14 degree Celsius or 16 degree Celsius. The same way, the uncertainty range is -0.5 to +0.5 when we use analog thermometer.

This is the phase of matter with no fixed shape or volume.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer: Gas

Explanation:

Matter exists in three different phases, they are:

- Solid

the phase of matter with fixed shape, high density and non-moving particles that are held together by strong bonds. Example of solids are stone and chalk

- Liquid

the phase of matter with loosely held particles that are held together and take up the shape of the containing vessel. Examples of liquid are water, orange juice

- Gas

This is the phase of matter with no fixed shape or volume, rather its molecules travel rapidly and randomly within the containing vessel. Examples of gases are ammonia and oxygen

Thus, the phase of matter with no fixed shape or volume is known as gas

Doss [256]

Answer:

 R (120) = 940Ω

Explanation:

The variation in resistance with temperature is linear in metals

           ΔR (T) = R₀ α ΔT

where α is the coefficient of variation of resistance with temperature, in this case α = -0,0005 / ºC

let's calculate

            ΔR = 1000 (-0,0005) (120-0)

            ΔR = -60 Ω

            ΔR = R (120) + R (0) = -60

            R (120) = -60 + R (0)

            R (120) = -60 + 1000

            R (120) = 940Ω

Electromagnetic radiation behaves both as particles (called photons) and as waves. Wavelength (λ) and frequency (ν) are related
inessss [21]
<h2>Answer: 136.363 m</h2>

Explanation:

We can find the wavelength of the radiation produced by the microwave oven by using the following given equation:

c=\lambda.\nu   (1)

Clearing \lambda :

\lambda=\frac{c}{\nu}   (2)

Knowing \nu=2.20 GHz=2.20(10)^{6}Hz=2.20(10)^{6}s^{-1}

\lambda=\frac{3(10)^{8}m/s}{2.20(10)^{6}s^{-1}}   (3)

\lambda=136.363m This is the wavelength of the radiation produced by the microwave
