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

A fire engine is moving south at 35 m/s while blowing its siren at a frequency of 400 Hz.
vodomira [7]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The Doppler effect is the change in the perceived frequency of any wave movement when the emitter, or focus of waves, and the receiver, or observer, move relative to each other. Mathematically it can be described as

f_d= f_s \frac{(v+v_d)}{(v-v_s)}

Here,

f_d=frequency received by detector

f_s=frequency of wave emitted by source

v_d=velocity of detector

v_s=velocity of source

v=velocity of sound wave

Replacing we have that,

f_d = 400(\frac{(343+18)}{(343-35)})

f_d=422 Hz

Therefore the frequencty that will hear the passengers is 422Hz

miss Akunina [59]
In the question "What is true for solar, wind, and geothermal energy?" The correct answer is that they are all renewable energy.
Solar energy is energy that comes from the heat from the sun.
Wind energy is the energy that is generated from the wind.
Geothermal energy energy is the energy that comes from the heat from the earth.

Given that:<br><br> = 2i + 9j ; and ⃗ = -i – 4j . Find . ⃗ ​
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

A.B = -38

Explanation:

A = 2i + 9j and B = -i - 4j.

So, A.B = (2i + 9j).(-i - 4j)

= 2i.(-i) + 2i.(-4j) + 9j.(-i) + 9j.(-4j)

= -2i.i - 8i.j - 9j.i - 36j.j

since i.i = 1, j.j = 1, i.j = 0 and j.i = 0, we have

A.B = -2(1) - 8(0) - 9(0) - 36(1)

A.B = -2 - 0 - 0 - 36

A.B = -38
