Answer:
(a) 0.0113 ±0.0001 inches
(b) 5 decks
Explanation:
<u>Given information</u>
52 cards, thickness is 0.590 ±0.005 inches
Since this is thickness of all the cards, to get the thickness of a single card we divide the total thickness (plus uncertainty) by the number of cards hence
1 card=
±
= 0.0113461 ±0.000096 inches
Considering that thickness is given to 3 significant figures while uncertainty is to 1 significant figure, the final answer should also conform to these hence giving the first part of the answer to 3 significant figures while second part to 1 significant figure yields 0.0113 ±0.0001 inches
(b)
Considering that the cards have uncertainty of 0.0001 inches and the number of decks, n required to create uncertainty of 0.00002 inch is given by

We need 5 decks for the given uncertainty
Answer:
J = 0.7 N-s away from wall
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the ball, m = 0.2 kg
Initial speed of the ball, u = 2 m/s
Final speed of the ball, v = -1.5 m/s (as it rebounds)
Impulse is equal to the change in momentum. So,

So, the impulse given to the ball is 0.7 N-m and it is away from the wall. Hence, the correct option is (c).
The total energy at A, B and C is constant and does not change.
At A, all the energy is potential energy. It gets converted partially to kinetic energy at B and is completely converted to kinetic energy at C. At C, all the energy is kinetic energy.
