o-na [289]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

0.00001 %

Explanation:

The distance from satellite = 20000 km

Position range = 2 m

The percentage uncertainty is given by dividing the distance from satellite by the position range of desired accuracy.

Percentage uncertainty is given by

\dfrac{2}{20000\times 10^3}\times 100=0.00001\ \%

The percentage uncertainty that is required is 0.00001 %

(HELP!! 10pts) a train travels 75km in 1hr, and then 68km in 2hrs. what is its average speed?
blondinia [14]
Average speed = total distance travelled ÷ total time taken

AS = (75km + 68km) ÷ (1hr + 2hr)

As = 143km ÷ 3hr

AS = 47.66667 km/hr

AS = 47.7 km/hr (3sf)

A test charge of -1.4 x 10-7 coulombs experiences a force of 5.4 x 10-1 newtons. Calculate the magnitude of the electric field c
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

3.86×10⁶ Newton/coulombs

Explaination:

Applying,

E = F/q....................... Equation 1

Where E = Electric Field, F  = Force, q = charge.

From the question,

Given: F = 5.4×10⁻¹ N, q = -1.4×10⁻⁷ coulombs

Substitute these values into equation 1

E = 5.4×10⁻¹/ -1.4×10⁻⁷

E = -3.86×10⁶ Newtons/coulombs

Hence the magnitude of the electric field created by the

negative test charge is 3.86×10⁶ Newton/coulombs

What is the average speed of a car that moves 570 m in 24 s
Sladkaya [172]
The formula for speed is:
Speed = Distance/Time
We can plug in the given values into the above equation:
Speed = 570m÷24s
Speed = 23.75, which rounds to 24m/s as a whole number. Therefore, the answer is b.
