Answer:

a)   x_average = ∑ x_{i} / n , b) Δx_{i} = x_{i} –x_average,

d) σ = √(1/n-1  ∑ Dx_{i}² )

Explanation:

Some definitions are requested

a) the average value is the sum of all the values ​​divided by the number of them, if the uncertainties are random, this is the closest value to the real one

       x_average = ∑ x_{i} / n

b) The deviation from the mean value or absolute error is the measured value minus the average value

       Δx_{i} = x_{i} –x_average

c) is the average value of the deviations

        Δx_average = ∑ Δx_{i} / n

d) It is a measure of the dispersion of the values ​​with respect to their average value, it takes the worst of all cases, widely used for large numbers of data

          σ = √(1/n-1  ∑ Dx_{i}² )

Experimental results should be given as follows

  Average value ± uncertainty and the standard deviation

  (x_average + - Δx_average)

  σ

A driver entering the outskirts of a city takes her foot off the accelerator so that the car slows down from 90 km/h to 50 km/h
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a = (vf - vi) / t

a = (50 - 90) / 10.0

a = -4 km/h/s(1000 m/km / 3600 s/h)

a = - 1.11 m/s²

While buying a hot plate you notice the resistance of the hot
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Current = 5.45amps

Power = 654 watts

Explanation:

E =120V

I =?

R = 22.02 Ohms

I= E/R

I= 120/22.02

I = 5.45AmPs

P = ?                    P= E x R

E = 120V              P= 120x5.45

I = 5.45 AmPs      P=  654W

What is the angle of the 2nd order bright fringe produced by two slits that are 8.25x10-5m apart if the wavelength of the incide
dexar [7]

In order to calculate the angle, we can use the formula below for a constructive interference (the interference is constructive because the fringe is bright):

d\sin\theta=m\lambda

Where d is the distance between the slits, m is the order of the interference and lambda is the wavelength.

So, using d = 8.25 * 10^-5, m = 2 and lambda = 4.5 * 10^-7, we have:

\begin{gathered} 8.25\cdot10^{-5}\cdot\sin\theta=2\cdot4.5\cdot10^{-7}\\ \\ \sin\theta=\frac{9\cdot10^{-7}}{8.25\cdot10^{-5}}\\ \\ \sin\theta=1.091\cdot10^{-2}\\ \\ \theta=0.625° \end{gathered}

Therefore the correct option is the second one.

A car with a mass of 850kg is moving at a speed of 72km/h when colliding with a concrete wall until it stops. After the collisio
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Explanation:

The vehicle is experiencing a large force created by the concrete wall.

Equation

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a * d

Givens

vf = 0   The car eventually does stop.

vi = 72 km/hr * [ 1000 m/  km] * [1 hour / 3600 seconds]

vi = 20 meters / second

a = ?

m = 850 kg

Solution

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2a*d

0 = 20 m/s + 2* 2 *a

-20 m/s = 4a

-20/4 =   a

a = - 5 m/s^2   The minus sign tells you the vehicle is slowing down. It sure should be.

Force = m * a

F = - 850 * (-5)

F =  - 4250 N

The car provides a 4250 N force on it going east to west and a 4250 N force going from west to east provided by the concrete wall.
