Find the uncertainty in a calculated average speed from the measurements of distance and time. Average speed depends on distance

and time according to this function v(t,x) = x/t. Your measured distance and time have the following values and uncertainties x = 8.1 meters, Δx = 0.9 meters and t = 1.7 seconds and Δt = 1.7 seconds. What is the uncertainty in the average speed, Δv ?

Answer:

\frac{\Delta v}{v}=0.426

Step-by-step explanation:

you have that the average sped is given by the following formula:

v(x,t)=\frac{x}{t}

The uncertainty formula for a division is given by:

\frac{\Delta v}{v}=\sqrt{(\frac{\Delta x}{x})^2+(\frac{\Delta t}{t})^2}        (1)

Δv: uncertainty in speed

Δx: uncertainty in the distance = 0.9m

Δt: uncertainty in time = 0.7s

x: distance = 8.1m

t: time = 1.7s

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

\frac{\Delta v}{v}=\sqrt{(\frac{0.9}{8.1})^2+(\frac{0.7}{1.7})^2}\\\\\frac{\Delta v}{v}=0.426

Hence, the relation between the uncertainty in the average velocity is 0.426

28mi/1 hr = 28 mi/60 min = 1 mi/(60/28) min = 

28 mi/hr = 28 mi/60 min since there are 60 min in 1 hr
1 mi/(60/28) min since you divide top and bottom of 28/60 by 28 to get
1 mi/(60/28) min = 1mi/(15/7) min = 1 mi/ 2 1/7 min

The Smith family is shopping for a new car and they are basing their decision on color and style. Explain how many color choices
Yanka [14]
Sample response: The Smith family has 2 choices to make, color and style. By the fundamental counting principle, the product of the number of choices of color and style must equal 8. So, there could be 1 color and 8 style choices, 2 colors and 4 styles, 4 colors and 2 styles, or 8 colors and 1 style.

Simplify the imaginary number sqr -75
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

5i\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of radicals

\sqrt{a} × \sqrt{b} ⇔ \sqrt{ab}

and \sqrt{-1} = i

Given

\sqrt{-75}

= \sqrt{25(3)(-1)}

= \sqrt{25}  × \sqrt{3} × \sqrt{-1}

= 5 × \sqrt{3} × i

= 5i\sqrt{3}
