A good-quality measuring tape can be off by 0.42 cm over a distance of 28 m. What is its percent uncertainty? (Express your answ

er to the correct number of significant figures and proper units.)

Alecsey [184]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

0.015%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Length by which the measuring tape can be off, δL = 0.42 cm

Total measured length for which Error of  δL is observed, L = 28 m  

Now,  

we know,  

1 m = 100 cm  

Thus,

28 m = 28 × 100 = 2800 cm

Percent uncertainty = [δL ÷ L] × 100%

= [0.42  ÷ 2800] × 100%

= 0.015%

A wire that has a resistance of 1Ω is to be built from an aluminum block of volume 1 cm3
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

  L = 5,955 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the relation

        R = ρ L / A

where R is the resistance that indicates that it is 1 Ω, the resistivity is taken from the tables ρ = 2.82 10⁻⁸ Ω m, L is the length of the wire and A is the cross section.

As it indicates to us in volume of aluminum to use we divide the two terms by the length

    R / L = ρ L / (A L)

the volume of a body is its area times its length, therefore

  R / L = ρ L / V

  R = ρ L² / V

we clear the length of the wire

   L = √ R V /ρ

we reduce the volume to SI units

   v = 1 cm³ (1m / 10² cm)³ = 1 10⁻⁶ m

let's calculate

   L = √ (1  1  10⁻⁶ / 2.82 10⁻⁸)

   L = √ (0.3546 10²)

   L = 5,955 m

Which condition must be met in order for an equation to be balanced? The elements in the reactants are the same as the elements
den301095 [7]

Answer:

The elements in the reactants are the same as the elements in the products

Explanation:

The condition for a balanced equation is as follows :

The number of atoms for each element in reactant = Number of atoms for each element in product.

Total charge on reactant and product must be same.

The example of a balanced equation is:

Reaction of carbon and hydrogen :

C+2H_2\rightarrow CH_4

No. of carbon atom on Carbon on LHS = 1

No. of carbon atom on Hydrogen on LHS = 4

No. of carbon atom on Carbon on RHS = 1

No. of carbon atom on Hydrogen on RHS = 4

So, for a balanced equation, The elements in the reactants are the same as the elements in the products. Hence, the correct option (a).
