A student measures the diameter of a small cylindrical object and gets the following readings: 4.32, 4.35, 4.31, 4.36, 4.37, 4.3

4 cm (a) What is the average diameter from these readings? (b) What is the standard deviation of these measurements? The student also measured the length of the object to be (0.126 ± 0.005) m and the mass to be object to be (1.66 ± 0.05) kg. Using the method from this week's lab, determine (c) the density and (d) the proportion of error in the density calculation.

Answer:

a. \bar{d}=4.34 cm

b. \sigma=0.023 cm

c. \rho=(0.0089\pm 0.00058) kg/cm^{3}

Explanation:

a) The average of this values is the sum each number divided by the total number of values.

\bar{d}=\frac{\Sigma_{i=1}^(N)x_{i}}{N}

  • x_{i} is values of each diameter
  • N is the total number of values. N=6

\bar{d}=\frac{4.32+4.35+4.31+4.36+4.37+4.34}{6}

\bar{d}=4.34 cm

b) The standard deviation equations is:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{1}{N}\Sigma^{N}_{i=1}(x_{i}-\bar{d})^{2}}

If we put all this values in that equation we will get:

\sigma=0.023 cm

Then the mean diameter will be:

\bar{d}=(4.34\pm 0.023)cm

c) We know that the density is the mass divided by the volume (ρ = m/V)

and we know that the volume of a cylinder is: V=\pi R^{2}h

Then:

\rho=\frac{m}{\pi R^{2}h}

Using the values that we have, we can calculate the value of density:

\rho=\frac{1.66}{3.14*(4.34/2)^{2}*12.6}=0.0089 kg/cm^{3}

We need to use propagation of error to find the error of the density.

\delta\rho=\sqrt{\left(\frac{\partial\rho}{\partial m}\right)^{2}\delta m^{2}+\left(\frac{\partial\rho}{\partial d}\right)^{2}\delta d^{2}+\left(\frac{\partial\rho}{\partial h}\right)^{2}\delta h^{2}}  

  • δm is the error of the mass value.
  • δd is the error of the diameter value.
  • δh is the error of the length value.

Let's find each partial derivative:

1. \frac{\partial\rho}{\partial m}=\frac{4m}{\pi d^{2}h}=\frac{4*1.66}{\pi 4.34^{2}*12.6}=0.0089

2.  \frac{\partial\rho}{\partial d}=-\frac{8m}{\pi d^{3}h}=-\frac{8*1.66}{\pi 4.34^{3}*12.6}=-0.004

3. \frac{\partial\rho}{\partial h}=-\frac{4m}{\pi d^{2}h^{2}}=-\frac{4*1.66}{\pi 4.34^{2}*12.6^{2}}=-0.00071

Therefore:

\delta\rho=\sqrt{\left(0.0089)^{2}*0.05^{2}+\left(-0.004)^{2}*0.023^{2}+\left(-0.00071)^{2}*0.5^{2}}

\delta\rho=0.00058

So the density is:

\rho=(0.0089\pm 0.00058) kg/cm^{3}

Which statement is true for a sound wave entering an area of warmer air?
kherson [118]
The appropriate response is letter D. The wave ventures slower and with an expanded wavelength when a sound wave entering a range of hotter air. Hotter air implies less thick, so the wave ought to back off.

I hope the answer will help you, feel free to ask more in brainly.

Two objects, m1 = 0.6 kg and m2 = 4.4 kg undergo a one-dimensional head-on collision
Sidana [21]

a) The velocity after the collision.is 11.456 m/s.

b) The kinetic energy lost due to the collision is 44.564 J.

<h3>What is conservation of momentum principle?</h3>

When two bodies of different masses move together each other and have head on collision, they travel to same or different direction after collision.

The external force is not acting here, so the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum. For inelastic collision, final velocity is the common velocity for both the bodies.

m₁u₁ +m₂u₂ =(m₁ +m₂) v

Given are the two objects, m1 = 0.6 kg and m2 = 4.4 kg undergo a one-dimensional head-on collision. Their initial velocities along the one-dimension path are vi1 = 32.4 m/s [right] and vi2 = 8.6 m/s [left].

(a) Substitute the values, then the final velocity will be

0.6 x32.4 +4.4 x 8.6 = (0.6+4.4)v

v = 11.456 m/s

Thus, the velocity after collision is 11.456 m/s.

(b) Kinetic energy lost due to collision will be the difference between the kinetic energy before and after collision.

= [1/2m₁u₁² +1/2m₂u₂² ] - [1/2(m₁ +m₂) v²]

Substitute the value, we have

= [1/2 x 0.6 x32.4² + 1/2 x4.4 x 8.6²] - [1/2 x(0.6+4.4)11.456²]

= 44.564 J

Thus, the kinetic energy lost due to the collision is 44.564 J.

A 4kg block sitting on the floor, how much potential energy does it have?
prohojiy [21]

Well, there you have a very important principle wrapped up in that question.

There's actually no such thing as a real, actual amount of potential energy.
There's only potential <em><u>relative to some place</u></em>.  It's the work you have to do
to lift the object from that reference place to wherever it is now.  It's also
the kinetic energy the object would have if it fell down to the reference place
from where it is now.

Here's the formula for potential energy:    PE = (mass) x (gravity) x (<em><u>height</u></em><u>)</u> .

So naturally, when you use that formula, you need to decide "height above what ?"

If you're reading a book while you're flying in a passenger jet, the book's PE is
(M x G x 0 meters) relative to your lap, (M x G x 1 meter) relative to the floor of the
plane, (M x G x 10,000 meters) relative to the ground, and maybe (M x G x 25,000 meters)
relative to the bottom of the ocean.

Let's say that gravity is 9.8 m/s² .

Then a 4kg block sitting on the floor has (39.2 x 0 meters) PE relative to the floor
it's sitting on, also (39.2 x 3 meters) relative to the floor that's one floor downstairs,
also (39.2 x 30 meters) relative to 10 floors downstairs, and if it's on the top floor of
the Amoco/Aon Center in Chicago, maybe (39.2 x 345 meters) relative to the floor
in the coffee shop that's off the lobby on the ground floor.
