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 %

sammy [17]

Answer:

Because it can easily resist air resistance.

Explanation:

Since air resistance is not negligible, the crumpled paper will reach the ground first because it can easily resist air resistance surrounding it compare to the un-crumpled one that will be influenced by the air thereby causing the un-crumpled paper to spend more time in the air

A 25-cm rod moves at 5. 0 m/s in a plane perpendicular to a magnetic field of strength 0. 25 t. the rod, velocity vector, and ma
Bad White [126]

Length L = 25 cm = 0.25 m,  B = 600 G =  0.06 T ( 1G = 0.0001 T)

emf= 10 V

Solution:

emf = vBL

v= emf / BL

5 = emf/ (0.25 T× 0.25 m)

emf = 0.3125 v

Magnetic field

The magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, and magnetic materials is described by a magnetic field, which is a vector field. A force perpendicular to the charge's own velocity and the magnetic field acts on it when the charge is travelling through a magnetic field.
