Answer:
a) x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in
, b) the number of decks is 5
Explanation:
a) The thickness of the deck of cards (d) is measured and the thickness of a card (x) is calculated
x = d / 52
x = 0.590 / 52
x = 0.011346 in
Let's look for uncertainty
Δx = dx /dd Δd
Δx = 1/52 Δd
Δx = 1/52 0.005
Δx = 0.0001 in
The result of the calculation is
x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in
b) You want to reduce the error to Δx = 0.00002, the number of cards to be measured is
#_cards = n 52
The formula for thickness is
x = d / n 52
Uncertainty
Δx = 1 / n 52 Δd
n = 1/52 Δd / Δx
n = 1/52 0.005 / 0.00002
n = 4.8
Since the number of decks must be an integer the number of decks is 5

the answer to your question is 15 :)
Answer:
-589.05 J
Explanation:
Using work-kinetic energy theorem, the work done by friction = kinetic energy change of the base runner
So, W = ΔK
W = 1/2m(v₁² - v₀²) where m = mass of base runner = 72.9 kg, v₀ = initial speed of base runner = 4.02 m/s and v₁ = final speed of base runner = 0 m/s(since he stops as he reaches home base)
So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
W = 1/2m(v₁² - v₀²)
W = 1/2 × 72.9 kg((0 m/s)² - (4.02 m/s)²)
W = 1/2 × 72.9 kg(0 m²/s² - 16.1604 m²/s²)
W = 1/2 × 72.9 kg(-16.1604 m²/s²)
W = 1/2 × (-1178.09316 kgm²/s²)
W = -589.04658 kgm²/s²
W = -589.047 J
W ≅ -589.05 J
