Answer:
0.3 m
Explanation:
Initially, the package has both gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. The spring has elastic energy. After the package is brought to rest, all the energy is stored in the spring.
Initial energy = final energy
mgh + ½ mv² + ½ kx₁² = ½ kx₂²
Given:
m = 50 kg
g = 9.8 m/s²
h = 8 sin 20º m
v = 2 m/s
k = 30000 N/m
x₁ = 0.05 m
(50)(9.8)(8 sin 20) + ½ (50)(2)² + ½ (30000)(0.05)² = ½ (30000)x₂²
x₂ ≈ 0.314 m
So the spring is compressed 0.314 m from it's natural length. However, we're asked to find the additional deformation from the original 50mm.
x₂ − x₁
0.314 m − 0.05 m
0.264 m
Rounding to 1 sig-fig, the spring is compressed an additional 0.3 meters.
Answer:
a) x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in
, b) the number of decks is 5
Explanation:
a) The thickness of the deck of cards (d) is measured and the thickness of a card (x) is calculated
x = d / 52
x = 0.590 / 52
x = 0.011346 in
Let's look for uncertainty
Δx = dx /dd Δd
Δx = 1/52 Δd
Δx = 1/52 0.005
Δx = 0.0001 in
The result of the calculation is
x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in
b) You want to reduce the error to Δx = 0.00002, the number of cards to be measured is
#_cards = n 52
The formula for thickness is
x = d / n 52
Uncertainty
Δx = 1 / n 52 Δd
n = 1/52 Δd / Δx
n = 1/52 0.005 / 0.00002
n = 4.8
Since the number of decks must be an integer the number of decks is 5
Answer:
a. 250kg I think it's the right answer. hope it helps:)
Answer:
scientists will use absolute dating to find how old a fossil exactly is.
A land form is a natural feature of earths surface and a land mark is can be man-made or natural and it is used to mark something significant.
