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

ikadub [295]

We have that the spring constant is mathematically given as

k=2.37*10^{11}N/m

Generally, the equation for angular velocity is mathematically given by

\omega=\sqrt{k}{m}

Where

k=spring constant

And

\omega =\frac{2\pi}{T}

Therefore

\frac{2\pi}{T}=\sqrt{k}{n}

Hence giving spring constant k

k=m((\frac{2 \pi}{T})^2

Generally

Mass of earth m=5.97*10^{24}

Period for on complete resolution of Earth around the Sun

T=365 days

T=365*24*3600

Therefore

k=(5.97*10^{24})((\frac{2 \pi}{365*24*3600})^2

k=2.37*10^{11}N/m

In conclusion

The effective spring constant of this simple harmonic motion is

k=2.37*10^{11}N/m

gayaneshka [121]

A line from second to home creates a right triangle with 45 degree angles.

This makes the diagonal line the side length of the square multiplied by the sqrt(2)

Second to home = 90sqrt(2) = 127.279 feet ( round answer as needed)
