You have a set of calipers that can measure thicknesses of a few inches with an uncertainty of 0:005 inches. I mesure the thickn

ess of a deck of 52 cards and get 0.590 in: (a) If you now calculate the thickness of 1 card, what is my answer, including its uncertaintyb) 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?

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the calculation of significant figures under tolerance levels. We will also take into account that the number of significant digits at the end of an answer must not be greater than the number of significant digits of a number:

PART A) The thickness of the 52 cards is

T = 0.590 \pm 0.005 in

The thickness, t, of 1 card can be:

t = \frac{0.590}{52} \pm \frac{0.005}{52} in

t = 0.0113461\pm 0.000096 in

The thickness of 52 cards has 3 significant figures and the uncertainty has 1 significant digit. So

the significant figures of the thickness of one card and the uncertainty should also be 3 and 1 respectively

t = 0.01134 \pm 0.005 in

t = 0.0113 \pm 0.0001 in

Therefore the thickness of one card is \mathbf {t = 0.0113 \pm 0.0001 in }

PART B) One card has uncertainty of 0.0001 in if measured using 1 deck.

The number of decks, n, required to create the uncertainty of 0.00002 in is

n = \frac{0.0001}{0.00002}

n = 5

Therefore, 5 decks are required to measure the thickness of one card with an uncertainty of 0.00002 in

21. A fisherman catches two sturgeons. The smaller of the two has a measured length of 93.46 cm (two dec- imal places and four s
Leto [7]

Answer:

135.3 cm + 93.46cm

= 228.76 cm

So total length of two fish is 228.76

6. The momentum of a 30.0 g bird with a speed of 12 m.s-1 is 0.36 kg.m.s-1. What will be its momentum 12s later if a constant .0
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Explanation:

initial momentum = .36 kg.m.s⁻¹

negative impulse = force x time = .02 x 12 = .24 kg.m.s⁻¹

final momentum - initial momentum = impulse

final momentum = initial momentum + impulse

= .36 - .24

= .12 kg.m.s⁻¹

How does the thickness of the lens affects its focal length plz ans this i will mark as brainliest
Oksanka [162]

Hello! :)

The focal length of the lens tells you how far away from the lens a focused image is created, if light rays approaching the lens are parallel. A lens with more “bending power” has a shorter focal length, because it alters the path of the light rays more effectively than a weaker lens. Most of the time, you can treat a lens as being thin and ignore any effects from the thickness, because the thickness of the lens is much less than the focal length. But for thicker lenses, how thick they are does make a difference, and in general, results in a shorter focal length.

Hope I helped and didn’t answer too late!

Good luck and stay COOL!
