Distance is a scalar and measured only by units (meters, feet). Position is a vector and depends on where the origin is. It can be negative or positive and has direction.

You have a set of calipers that can measure thicknesses of a few inches with an uncertainty of ± 0.005 inches. You measure the t
Bond [772]

Answer:

a) x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in , b) the number of decks is 5

Explanation:

a) The thickness of the deck of cards (d) is measured and the thickness of a card (x) is calculated

        x = d / 52

        x = 0.590 / 52

        x = 0.011346 in

Let's look for uncertainty

       Δx = dx /dd Δd

       Δx = 1/52 Δd

       Δx = 1/52  0.005

       Δx = 0.0001 in

The result of the calculation is

        x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in

b) You want to reduce the error to Δx = 0.00002, the number of cards to be measured is

           #_cards = n 52

The formula for thickness is

           x = d / n 52

Uncertainty

          Δx = 1 / n 52  Δd

         n = 1/52 Δd / Δx

         n = 1/52 0.005 / 0.00002

         n = 4.8

Since the number of decks must be an integer the number of decks is 5

A cup of tea at room temperature of 24°C is heated until it has twice the internal energy. Calculate the final temperature of th
elena-s [515]

The final temperature of the tea cup is 100°C.

<h3>What is internal energy?</h3>

The Internal energy is the energy of a substance due to to the constant random motion of its particles.

The symbol for internal energy of a substance is U and it is measured in Joules.

ΔU = q + W

  • q is the heat, q = mcΔT
  • W is the mechanical work.

In conclusion,  the final temperature of the tea cup at room temperature of 24 °C which is heated until it has twice the internal energy is 100°C.

solmaris [256]

Answer:

90 ohms

Explanation:

1/r = 1/180 + 1/180

1/r= 2/180

take the reciprocal of 2/180 which is 180/2 and its 90 ohms

The path followed by a projectile is called its _____.
xxTIMURxx [149]

The path followed by a projectile is called its <em>trajectory. (C)</em>

In the most common school situation<em> </em>... <u>with</u> gravity but <u>without</u> air resistance, the trajectory of a projectile is the shape of an inverted parabola (nose  pointing up).  That's the result of constant horizontal velocity and accelerated vertical velocity.
