Answer:

The uncertainty in the volume of the sphere is 1.059\times 10^{4} m^{3}

Solution:

As per the question:

Measured radius of the sphere, R = 135.4 m

Uncertainty in the radius, \Delta R = 4.6 cm = 4.6\times 10^{- 2} = 0.046 m

We know the volume of the sphere is:

V_{s} = \frac{4}{3}\pi R^{3}

We know that the fractional error for the given sphere is given by:

\frac{\Delta V_{s}}{V_{s}} = \frac{4}{3}\pi.\frac{|Delta R}{R}

where

\Delta V_{s} = uncertainty in volume of sphere

Now,

\Delta V_{s} = \frac{4}{3}\pi 3R^{2}\Delta R

Now, substituting  the suitable values:

\Delta V_{s} = 4\pi (135.4)^{2}\times 0.046 = 1.059\times 10^{4} m^{3}

A man walks 7 km East in 2 hours and then 2.5 km West in 1 hour. What is
madam [21]
<h2><u>How</u><u> </u><u>to</u><u> </u><u>solve</u><u>?</u></h2>

We know that, Velocity is the rate of displacement covered. Displacement is the shortest path between the Initial and Final point covered by the body. So,

  • Velocity = Displacement / Time

And, when it comes to Average velocity, It is the total displacement by total time taken. So, By using this let's solve this question.....

<h2><u>Solution</u><u>:</u></h2>

✏️ Refer to the attachment...

Let the body goes to point A that is 7 m East of the Initial point. Then it comes backward because West is opposite to East in perpendicular direction. It covers 1.5 m backwards in the same line to reach B which is the Final point.

So,

  • Displacement = Final point - Initial point

⇛ Displacement = 7 m - 1.5 m

⇛ Displacement = 5.5 m

Total time taken,

⇛ 2 hours + 1 hour

⇛ 3 hours

Finding Average displacement,

⇛ Total displacement / Total time taken

⇛ 5.5 m / 3 hours

⇛ 1.83333.... hours

So, the Final answer is,

\huge{ \boxed{ \bold{ \purple{1.8 \bar{3}m}}}}

Hilda plans to display in a clear cube the needle betsy ross used to sew the first american flag. the needle will fit exactly as
inysia [295]

Based on the length of side of the cube given, the length of the needle is 2.28 inches.

<h3>What is the length of the needle?</h3>

The length of the side of a cube and its diagonal are related by the formula below:

Length \:  of \:  Diagonal = \sqrt{3s}

where s is length of side

Side \:  Length  \: of \:  the \:  Cube = \sqrt{3inches}

Diagonal \: of  \: a  \: face \:  of  \: the \: cube = \sqrt{6inches}

The \: length \: of \: the \: needle = \sqrt{3\sqrt{3}}  = 2.28 \: inches \\

Therefore, the length of the needle is 2.28 inches

Answer: Top left to bottom right, top right to bottom left

Explanation:

A linear position time graph means a horizontal line on the velocity graph so top left matches the bottom right

With the process of elimination, bottom left matches the top right
