How does uncertainty relate to measurements and calculations made during an investigation?

Physics
2 answers:
Nana76 [90]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation :Uncertainty in measurements and calculations means difference between actual and measured data. We can say that all measurements have some degree of uncertainty. It can be of two types-1. Systematic error (because of error in measuring instrument) 2. Random error (human errors such as- delay in starting, delay in stopping).

Systematic errors are consistent in magnitude and direction so they can be easily removed by additive or proportional corrections while random errors vary in magnitude and direction and can not be easily removed.

Uncertainty means that your result may be very random, so you can't trust the first or second or so observation, making several samples critical for accuracy. <span />

A ball has a diameter of 3.79 cm and average density of 0.0838 g/cm3.
suter [353]

Answer: 0.258 N

Explanation:

As the density of the object is much less than the density of water, it’s clear that the buoyant force, is greater than the weight of the object, which means that in normal conditions, it would float in water.

So, in order to get the ball submerged in water, we need to add a downward force, that add to the weight, in order to compensate the buoyant force, as follows:

F = Fb – Fg

Fb= δH20* 4/3*π*(d/2)³  * g

Fg = δb* 4/3*π*(d/2)³ *g

F= (δH20- δb) * 4/3*π*(d/2)³*g

Replacing by the values of the densities, and the ball diameter, we finally get:

F= 0.258 N

Which of these systems is an oscillator? A. A barrel rolling down the hill B. A child sitting on a swing a skater falling on the
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Option B:

A child sitting on a swing.

Explanation:

When we hear the word oscillator, a good example is the pendulum bob of a grandfather clock. We can picture the motion to get a perfect understanding of its path of motion and relate it to other systems of motion in our everyday life.

An oscillator is a system that moves in such a way that it reverses its direction after a period of time. It can be seen as a "to-and-fro" motion.

From the options, a child sitting on a swing is the perfect example of an oscillating system because the child will be moving forwards and backwards, alternately reversing the direction of motion with time.

How much thermal energy is needed to melt 1.25 kg of water at its melting point? Use Q = masslaten heat of fusion.
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Latent heatnof fusion = 417.5 J

Explanation:

Specific latent heat of fusion of water is 334kJ.kg-1.

The heat required to melt water when it's ice I called latent heat because there is no temperature change, the only change observed is change in physical structure.

The amount of heat required to change 1 kg of solid to its liquid state (at its melting point) at atmospheric pressure is called Latent heat of Fusion.

Latent heat = ML

Latent heat= 1.25 kg * 334kJ.kg-1

Latent heat = 1.25*334 *(J/kg)*kg

Latent heat = 417.5 J
