Answer:

  • 4.77 %

Explanation:

We know that the volume V for a sphere of radius r is

V(r) = \frac{4}{3} \ \pi \ r^3

If we got an uncertainty \Delta r the formula for the uncertainty of V is:

\Delta V(r) = \sqrt{  (\frac{dV}{dr} \Delta r)^2  }

We can calculate this uncertainty, first we obtain the derivative:

\frac{dV}{dr}  = 3 * \frac{4}{3} \ \pi \ r^2

\frac{dV}{dr}  = 4 \ \pi \ r^2

And using it in the formula:

\Delta V(r) = \sqrt{  (4 \ \pi \ r^2\Delta r)^2  }

\Delta V(r) = \sqrt{  4^2 \ \pi^2 \ r^4 \Delta r^2  }

\Delta V(r) =  4 \  \pi \ r^2 \Delta r

The relative uncertainty is:

\frac{\Delta V(r)}{V(r)}

\frac{ 4 \  \pi \ r^2 \Delta r  }{ \frac{4}{3} \ \pi \ r^3}

\frac{ 3  \Delta r  }{  r}

Using the values for the problem:

\frac{ 3 * 0.09 m  }{  5.66 m} = 0.0477

This is, a percent uncertainty of 4.77 %

Two objects were lifted by a machine.One object had a mass of 2 kilograms and was lifted at a speed of 2 m/sec.The other had a m
NikAS [45]

Answer:

While lifting two object the machine needs the different momentum for different mass object.

Explanation:

  • Momentum is the quantity of motion contained in an object. Usually it is measured by the product of mass and velocity.
  • Momentum of first mass = 2 kg × 2 m/sec = 4 kg m/sec
  • Momentum of second mass = 4 kg × 3 m/sec = 12 kg m/sec
  • So the machine requires higher mass in motion for second object ( i.e. momentum) than the first one while lifting.

The hypothetical upper limit to the mass a star can be before it self-destructs due to the massive amount of fusion it would pro
Gnesinka [82]

The hypothetical upper limit to the mass a star can be before it self-destructs due to the massive amount of fusion it would produce is apparently as a result of <u>Eddington luminosity</u>

<h3>What are stars?</h3>

Stars are a fixed luminous point in the sky which is a large and remote incandescent body

So therefore, the hypothetical upper limit to the mass a star can be before it self-destructs due to the massive amount of fusion it would produce is apparently as a result of Eddington luminosity

How did ALS impact Stephen Hawking?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Professor Hawking had just turned 21 when he was diagnosed with a very rare slow-progressing form of ALS, a form of motor neurone disease (MND). He was at the end of his time at Oxford when he started to notice early signs of his disease. He was getting more clumsy and fell over several times without knowing why.

Explanation:

none
