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
1 answer:
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=±
= 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
We need 5 decks for the given uncertainty

Answer:
The range of powers is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The far point of the left eye is
The near point of the left eye is
The near point with the glasses on is
From these parameter we can see that with the glass on that for near point the
Object distance would be
Image distance would be
To obtain the focal length we would apply the lens formula which is mathematically represented as
substituting values
converting to meters
Generally the power of the lens is mathematically represented as
Substituting values
