how do you find the uncertainty of a single measurement? For example, I am trying to find the uncertainty of 26 grams. ​

Answer:

Please see answer below

Explanation:

The uncertainty will depend of the granularity of the instrument you use for the measurement.

For example, if you measure the length of a tabletop with a measuring tape with the smaller divisions given by the mm for example,then your measurement is limited by 1 mm (it cannot be better than that because your instrument doesn't have a finer division)

If you are using a digital scale to measure the weight of an object for example, and the scale displays in the readout 26.3 grams, then your uncertainty becomes 0.1 gram because that is the best your scale can read.

If on the other hand your scale reads no better than the gram, and gives you just 26 in the display, then the resolution of the scale is 1 gram, and that is what the uncertainty in your measurement is.

You have to report it as:  26 ± 1 g

Explain the correspondence that lets us easily translate between linear motion and rotational motion. What are the linear analog
RideAnS [48]

Explanation:

The linear analog of angle is angle itself.

The linear analog of angular velocity is linear velocity.

ω is angular velocity, therefore linear velocity is given by v

∴ for linear velocity, v^{2} = u^{2}+2.a.S

   for angular velocity, \omega_{f}^{2}  = \omega _{i}^{2}+2.a.S

The linear analog of angular acceleration is acceleration.

α is angular acceleration whereas as a is linear acceleration.

∴ for linear acceleration, v = u + a.t

  for angular acceleration, \omega_{f}= \omega _{i}+\alpha .t

The linear analog of moment of inertia is mass.

I is moment of inertia and m is mass,

∴ for linear analog, F = m.a

  for angular analog, τ - I.α

A uniform brick of length 21 m is placed over
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

15.75 m

Explanation:

First, let's look at the top brick by itself.  In order for it not to tip over the bottom brick, its center of gravity must be right at the edge of the bottom brick.  So the edge of the top brick must be 10.5 m from the edge of the bottom brick.

Now let's look at both bricks as a combined mass.  We know the total length of this combined brick is 10.5 m + 21 m = 31.5 m.  And we know that for it to not tip over the edge of the surface, its center of gravity must be at the edge.  So the edge of the combined brick must be 31.5 m / 2 = 15.75 m from the edge of the surface.
