I have a set of calipers that can measure thickness of a few inches with an uncertainty of ±0.005 inches. I measure the thicknes

s of a deck of 52 cards and get 0.590 inch.a) If i now calculate the thickness of 1 card, what is my answer (including uncertainty)b) I can improve this result by measuring several decks together. If I want to know the thickness of 1 card with an uncertainty of only 0.00002 inch, how many decks do i need to measure?

Answer:

(a) 0.0113 ±0.0001 inches

(b) 5 decks

Explanation:

<u>Given information</u>

52 cards, thickness is 0.590 ±0.005 inches

Since this is thickness of all the cards, to get the thickness of a single card we divide the total thickness (plus uncertainty) by the number of cards hence

1 card=\frac {0.590}{52}±\frac {0.005}{52}= 0.0113461 ±0.000096 inches

Considering that thickness is given to 3 significant figures while uncertainty is to 1 significant figure, the final answer should also conform to these hence giving the first part of the answer to 3 significant figures while second part to 1 significant figure yields 0.0113 ±0.0001 inches

(b)

Considering that the cards have uncertainty of 0.0001 inches and the number of decks, n required to create uncertainty of 0.00002 inch is given by

n=\frac {0.0001}{0.00002}=5

We need 5 decks for the given uncertainty

Explain about kinetic theory​
Luden [163]

Answer:

The model, called the kinetic theory of gases, assumes that the molecules are very small relative to the distance between molecules. ... The molecules are in constant random motion, and there is an energy (mass x square of the velocity) associated with that motion. The higher the temperature, the greater the motion.

A football kicker kicks a ball with a mass of .42 kg. The average acceleration of the football was 14.8 m/s squared. How much fo
mrs_skeptik [129]

To find the force we use the formula,

F = ma , where m is mass and a acceleration

Using the formula,

F = ma

F = 0.42 x 14.8

F = 6.216 N / 6.22 N

A motorcycle moving 18.8 m/s has<br> 57800 J of KE. What is its mass?
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

m = 327.07 kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Kinetic energy of a motorcycle, E = 57800 J

Velocity of the motorcycle, v = 18.8 m/s

We need to find the mass of the motorcycle. The kinetic energy of an object is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

m is mass

m=\dfrac{2E}{v^2}\\\\m=\dfrac{2\times 57800 }{(18.8)^2}\\\\m=327.07\ kg

So, the mass of the motorcycle is 327.07 kg.
