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 2.0-mole sample of an ideal gas is gently heated at constant temperature 330 k. it expands from initial volume 19 l to final v
shutvik [7]
Isothermal Work =  PVln(v₂/v₁)

PV = nRT =  2 mole * 8.314 J/ (k.mol) * 330 k = 5487.24 J

Isothermal Work =  PVln(v₂/v₁)            v₂ = ? v₁ = 19L, 

1.7 kJ = (5487.24)In(v₂/19)

1700 = (5487.24)In(v₂/19)

In(v₂/19) = (1700/5487.24) = 0.3098

In(v₂/19) = 0.3098

(v₂/19) = e^{0.3098}


v₂  =  19* e^{0.3098}

v₂ = 25.8999

v₂ ≈ 26 L        Option b.

What is the speed of a transverse wave in a rope of length 3. 1 m and mass 86 g under a tension of 380 n?
Nitella [24]

117 m/sec is the speed of a transverse wave in a rope of length 3. 1 m and mass 86 g under a tension of 380 n.

The wave speed v is given by

v= √τ/μ

​where τ is the tension in the rope and μ is the linear mass density of the rope.

The linear mass density is the mass per unit length of rope :

μ= m / L = (0.086 kg)/(3.1 m)=0.0277 kg/m.

v= \sqrt{ \frac{380 N}{0.0277 kg/m}}  = 117.125 m/sec (approx. 117 m/sec

In physics, a transverse wave is a wave whose oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave's advance. This is in contrast to a longitudinal wave which travels in the direction of its oscillations. Water waves are an example of transverse wave.

Transverse waves commonly occur in elastic solids due to the shear stress generated; the oscillations in this case are the displacement of the solid particles away from their relaxed position, in directions perpendicular to the propagation of the wave. These displacements correspond to a local shear deformation of the material. Hence a transverse wave of this nature is called a shear wave. Since fluids cannot resist shear forces while at rest, propagation of transverse waves inside the bulk of fluids is not possible.
