If you have two uncertainties, and they are from two different sources and contribute to the uncertainty of a measurement, what
Darya [45]

The propagation errors we can find the uncertainty of a given magnitude is the sum of the uncertainties of each magnitude.

                           Δm = ∑  | \frac{dm}{dx_i} | \ \Delta x_i

Physical quantities are precise values ​​of a variable, but all measurements have an uncertainty, in the case of direct measurements the uncertainty is equal to the precision of the given instrument.

When you have derived variables, that is, when measurements are made with different instruments, each with a different uncertainty, the way to find the uncertainty or error is used the propagation errors to use the variation of each parameter, keeping the others constant and taking the worst of the  cases, all the errors add up.

If m is the calculated quantity, x_i the measured values ​​and Δx_i the uncertainty of each value, the total uncertainty is

                      Δm = ∑  | \frac{dm}{dx_i } | \ \Delta x_i    | dm / dx_i | Dx_i

               

for instance:

If the magnitude is  a average of two magnitudes measured each with a different error

                     m = \frac{m_1+m_2}{2}

                     Δm = | \frac{dm}{dx_1} |  Δx₁ + | \frac{dm}{dx_2} | Δx₂

                     \frac{dm}{dx_1} = ½

                     \frac{dm}{dx_2} = ½

                     Δm = \frac{1}{2} Δx₁ + ½ Δx₂

                     Δm = Δx₁ + Δx₂

In conclusion, using the propagation errors we can find the uncertainty of a given quantity is the sum of the uncertainties of each measured quantity.

On a sunny day, does a bird or an aeroplane flying high in the sky cast its
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Hope it helps

Explanation:

The higher the bird flies, the bigger the shadow it casts, however, for the shadow to be visible enough the plane or bird would have to be close to the line directly from the sun.

Two point charges of equal magnitude are 8.0 cm apart. At the midpoint of the line connecting them, their combined electric fiel
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

r = 8/2 = 4cm = 0.04m

k = 9×10^9

Enet = 51 N/C

Enet = E1 + E2

since E1 = E2

E1 = Enet/2 = 51/2

E/2 = kq/r²

q = Er²/2k

q = (51 × 0.04²)/(2×9×10^9)

q = 4.5×10^-12 C

q1 = q2 = 4.5 pC

Explanation:

The electric field is a region around a

charge in which it exerts electrostatic force

on another charges. While the strength of

electric field at any point in space is called

electric field intensity. It is a vector

quantity. Its unit is NC¯¹.

According to coulomb’s law ,if a unit

positive charge q (call it a test charge) is

brought near a charge q (call a field

charge) placed in space,the charge q will

experience a force. The value of this force

depends upon the distance between the

two charges. If the charge q is moved

away from q ,this force would decrease till

at a certain distance the force would be

practically reduced to zero. The charge q

is then out of the influence of charge q.

The region of space surrounding the charge

q in which it exerts a force on the charge

q is known as E.F of the charge

q. Mathematically it is expressed as:

E =F/q

The direction of the vector E is the same

as the direction of F,because q is a

positive scalar. Dimensionally,the E.F is

force per unit charge,and its SI unit is the

newton/coulomb (N/C).

I need this ASAP<br> Name the three types of perodic maintenance with examples each.
artcher [175]

Predictive maintenance - vibration analysis.

Condition-based maintenance - monitoring pressure reading on Equipment with water systems.

Scheduled maintenance - occurring at repeating intervals is changing a bearing on a conveyor belt every 30 days or inspecting the condition of a motor every 90 days.

Hoping it helps!
