A stopwatch is used to measure how long it takes a sprinter to run 100 meters. this stopwatch measures time intervals to hundred

ths of seconds. using the stopwatch the timekeeper measures the sprinter’s time as 9.88 seconds. the timekeeper then writes down the sprinter’s time as 9.88 0.005 s ± . what is wrong with this?

First you need to know the smallest counting unit in this case. As this stopwatch measures time intervals to hundredths of a second, the uncertainty should be ± 0.01s (seconds) NOT ± 0.005s. Hence 0.01 is the smallest counting unit in this case. Hence the answer should be 9.88 <span>± 0.01s.

Vector A has components Ax=1.30cm, Ay= 2.25cm; vector B has components Bx=4.10cm, By=-3.75cm.
geniusboy [140]
We  are given with the x and y components of Vector A and B. In this case, we compute the resultant of both components of each vector. The vector is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the components. A is equal to 2.60 cm. B is equal to 5.56 cm. B is found in quadrant Iv and has an angle of 42.447 degrees as a terminal angle. A has an angle of 59.98 degrees. 
a. 5.6082 < -15.53 degreesc. 6.63 <-64.98 degreesb. x = 6.63 cos -64.98 degrees = 2.80   y = 6.63 sin -64.98 degrees = -6.00

Which one of the following scenarios accurately describes a condition in which resonance can occur? A. A column of air has a hei
Butoxors [25]
The correct option is B.
Resonance is said to occur when one object which is vibrating at the same natural frequency of a second object forces the second object into vibrational motion. When resonance is achieved a big loud voice is usually heard. Resonance generally requires three conditions to occur:
1. An object that has a natural frequency.
2. A force that is functioning at the same frequency as the natural frequency.
3. Prevention of energy loss.
