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}

An amusement park ride raises people high into the air, suspends them for a moment, and then drops them at a rate of free-fall a
blsea [12.9K]

Answer: apparent weighlessness.


Explanation:


1) Balance of forces on a person falling:


i) To answer this question we will deal with the assumption of non-drag force (abscence of air).


ii) When a person is dropped, and there is not air resistance, the only force acting on the person's body is the Earth's gravitational attraction (downward), which is the responsible for the gravitational acceleration (around 9.8 m/s²).


iii) Under that sceneraio, there is not normal force acting on the person (the normal force is the force that the floor or a chair exerts on a body to balance the gravitational force when the body is on it).


2) This is, the person does not feel a pressure upward, which is he/she does not feel the weight: freefalling is a situation of apparent weigthlessness.


3) True weightlessness is when the object is in a place where there exists not grativational acceleration: for example a point between two planes where the grativational forces are equal in magnitude but opposing in direction and so they cancel each other.


Therefore, you conclude that, assuming no air resistance, a person in this ride experiencing apparent weightlessness.

What is resonance in sound​
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer: Resonance in sound is when one object is vibrating at the same frequency to the second object of forces to the second frequency.

Explanation:

"Acoustic resonance is a phenomenon in which an acoustic system amplifies sound waves whose frequency matches one of its own natural frequencies of vibration (its resonance frequencies)." wikipedia I hope this helps you!

In an LC circuit at one time the charge stored by the capacitor is 10 mC and the current is 3.0 A. If the frequency of the circu
Ronch [10]

Answer:

i_2=3.61\ A

Explanation:

<u>LC Circuit</u>

It's a special circuit made of three basic elements: The AC source, a capacitor, and an inductor. The charge, current, and voltage are oscillating when there is an interaction between the electric and magnetic fields of the elements. The following variables will be used for the formulas:

q, q_1, q_2 = charge of the capacitor in any time t, t_1, t_2

q_o = initial charge of the capacitor

\omega=angular frequency of the circuit

i, i_1, i_2 = current through the circuit in any time t, t_1, t_2

The charge in an LC circuit is given by

q(t) = q_0 \, cos (\omega t )

The current is the derivative of the charge

\displaystyle i(t) = \frac{dq(t)}{dt} = - \omega q_0 \, sin(\omega t).

We are given

q_1=10\ mc=0.01\ c, i_1=3\ A,\ q_2=6\ mc=0.006\ c\ ,\ f=\frac{1000}{4\pi}

It means that

q(t_1) = q_0 \, cos (\omega t_1 )=q_1\ .......[eq 1]

i(t_1) = - \omega q_0 \, sin(\omega t_1)=i_1.........[eq 2]

From eq 1:

\displaystyle cos (\omega t_1 )=\frac{q_1}{q_0}

From eq 2:

\displaystyle sin(\omega t_1)=-\frac{i_1}{\omega q_0}

Squaring and adding the last two equations, and knowing that

sin^2x+cos^2x=1

\displaystyle \left ( \frac{q_1}{q_0} \right )^2+\left ( \frac{i_1}{\omega q_0} \right )^2=1

Operating

\displaystyle \omega^2q_1^2+i_1^2=\omega^2q_o^2

Solving for q_o

\displaystyle q_o=\frac{\sqrt{\omega^2q_1^2+i_1^2}}{\omega}

Now we know the value of q_0, we repeat the procedure of eq 1 and eq 2, but now at the second time t_2, and solve for i_2

\displaystyle \omega^2q_2^2+i_2^2=\omega^2q_o^2

Solving for i_2

\displaystyle i_2=w\sqrt{q_o^2-q_2^2}

Now we replace the given values. We'll assume that the placeholder is a pi for the frequency, i.e.

\displaystyle f=\frac{1}{4\pi}\ KHz

w=2\pi f=500\ rad/s

\displaystyle q_o=\frac{\sqrt{(500)^2(0.01)^2+3^2}}{500}

q_0=0.01166\ c

Finally

\displaystyle i_2=500\sqrt{0.01166^2-.006^2}

i_2=5\ A
