Technological advances clearly.

Theories change due to other peoples view on the matter and how they experiment with it, but Technology advancements are the greatest factor of all. I mean seriously, we wouldn't know of cells before the microscope and when they first invented it, it advanced further and now we can see things on a whole deeper lever.

What, roughly, is the percent uncertainty in the volume of a spherical beach ball whose radius is 5.66 0.09 m?
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

  • 4.77 %

Explanation:

We know that the volume V for a sphere of radius r is

V(r) = \frac{4}{3} \ \pi \ r^3

If we got an uncertainty \Delta r the formula for the uncertainty of V is:

\Delta V(r) = \sqrt{  (\frac{dV}{dr} \Delta r)^2  }

We can calculate this uncertainty, first we obtain the derivative:

\frac{dV}{dr}  = 3 * \frac{4}{3} \ \pi \ r^2

\frac{dV}{dr}  = 4 \ \pi \ r^2

And using it in the formula:

\Delta V(r) = \sqrt{  (4 \ \pi \ r^2\Delta r)^2  }

\Delta V(r) = \sqrt{  4^2 \ \pi^2 \ r^4 \Delta r^2  }

\Delta V(r) =  4 \  \pi \ r^2 \Delta r

The relative uncertainty is:

\frac{\Delta V(r)}{V(r)}

\frac{ 4 \  \pi \ r^2 \Delta r  }{ \frac{4}{3} \ \pi \ r^3}

\frac{ 3  \Delta r  }{  r}

Using the values for the problem:

\frac{ 3 * 0.09 m  }{  5.66 m} = 0.0477

This is, a percent uncertainty of 4.77 %

evaluate the force of a skateboard exerts on you if your mass is 60kg and you push on the skateboard with a force of 60N
Sav [38]
Every action has an equal or opposite reaction.
You weigh 60kg 
<span>So your acceleration is 6N / 60 kg = 0.1m/s^2</span>

Find the final velocity of a 40 kg skateboarder traveling at an initial velocity of 10 m/s that moves up a hill from a height of
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

vf = 0

Explanation:

Since the initial height hi = 0, we can rewrite the energy equation as

vf^2 = vi^2 - 2ghf = (10 m/s)^2 - 2(10 m/s^2)(5 m) = 0

Therefore, his final velocity vf is

vf = 0

In creating an accurate scale model of our solar system, Lana placed Earth 1 foot from the Sun. The actual distance from Earth t
miskamm [114]

Pluto would be placed 39.74 feet far from the Sun.

Astronomers use the gap between Earth and the sun, which is ninety-three million miles, as a new unit of measure called the Astronomical Unit.

Map scale refers to the connection (or ratio) between the space on a map and the corresponding distance on the ground. For example, on a 1:one hundred thousand scale map, 1cm at the map equals 1km on the ground.

The distance between the earth and solar, a = around 150 million km, is defined as one Astronomical Unit (AU). The radius of the solar, the solar is around 700,000 km.

Retrograde. Planets seem to move forward and then backward sometimes. This is really because we pass them as we move in our orbit but astronomers wanted to try to describe the solar system with earth at the center so elaborate models were employed.
