Doing a physics Lab and need to propagate uncertainty for experimental results. I need the uncertainty in order to add it to my

scatter plot for the error bars, therefore, I need both a positive and a negative error value. How is this done for my data? please show all work
373.67 +/- 15.444

210 +/- 12.82

239.33 +/- 19.98

443.67 +/- 17.99

Answer:

Explanation:

Not really sure what you're trying to do. You propagate uncertainties for indirect measurements, as in when you calculate a value from other values.

What you have here is a series of values of direct measurements it seems.

Anyway, for error bars will have a width of 2 times the uncertainty reported.

For example on the first one

373.67 +/- 15.444

You would have an error bar with a width of 2 * 15.444 = 30.888. This bar would be centered at 373.677. The lowest point of the error bar would be at 358.233 and the highest point at 389.121.

You also mentioned a scatter plot, but scatter plots are 2D at least. Are these measurements associated to something else like time? You need 2 coordinates for each point in a scatter plot.

How do satellites stay in orbit?
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:A satellite maintains its orbit by balancing two factors its velocity the speed it takes to travel in a straight line and the gravitational pull that Earth has on it. A satellite orbiting closer to the Earth requires more velocity to resist the stronger gravitational pull.

A boy reaches out of a window and tosses a ball straight up with a speed of 10 m/s. The ball is 20 m above the ground as he rele
kirill115 [55]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the ball, v = 10 m/s

Initial position of ball above ground, h = 20 m

(a) Let H is the maximum height reached by the ball. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy as :

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh'            

h'=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}

h'=\dfrac{(10)^2}{2\times 9.8}

h' = 5.1 m

The maximum height above ground,

H = 5.1 + 20

H = 25.1 meters

So, the maximum height reached by the ball is 25.1 meters.

(b) The ball's speed as it passes the window on its way down is same as the initial speed i.e. 10 m/s.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A closed system’s internal energy changes by 178 J as a result of being heated with 658 J of energy. The energy used to do work
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

480J

Explanation:

Using the formula:

Delta U = Q - W

Q:Heat (J)

Delta U: Changes in internal Energy (J)

W:Work (J)

We can plug in the give numbers, Q and W.

Delta U = 658J - 178J = 480J

Help !!!! Estimate the number of breaths taken by a person during 44 years?
Lisa [10]
44 x 12. I got the 12 from the total of 12 months in a year.


44 > 40

x
12 > 10
----------
The way my teacher taught me how to estimate is look at the neighbor to 44 and 12. The only time 44 can become 50, is when the neighbor is 5 or up. Same thing for 12. Now, multiply 40 and 10.

40 x 10 = 400.

Therefore, your estimate is 400.

The real answer is 520 breaths.

Is how high or low sound is
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

How high the sound or how low the sound is depending on the pitch of the sound which in this case the frequencies of the sound. The higher of the frequencies , the higher of the pitch but it has the shortest length of wave (λ). That's why AM radio have a longer range but bad audio quality than FM radio that have better audio quality with shorter range.
