You have a set of calipers that can measure thicknesses of a few inches with an uncertainty of ± 0.005 inches. You measure the t

hickness of a deck of 52 cards and get 0.590 in:a. If you now calculate the thickness of 1 card, what is your answer, including its uncertainty?b. You can improve this result by measuring several decks together. If you want to know the thickness of 1 card with an uncertainty of only 0.00002 in., how many decks do you need to measure together?

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

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 15.1 Mechanical Waves. Waves on a string are described by the following general equation y(
NeX [460]

Answer:

The transverse displacement is   y(1.51 , 0.150) = 0.055 m    

Explanation:

 From the question we are told that

     The generally equation for the mechanical wave is

                    y(x,t) = Acos (kx -wt)

     The speed of the transverse wave is v = 8.25 \ m/s

     The amplitude of the transverse wave is A = 5.50 *10^{-2} m

     The wavelength of the transverse wave is \lambda = 0540 m

      At t= 0.150s , x = 1.51 m

 The angular frequency of the wave is mathematically represented as

          w = vk

Substituting values  

         w = 8.25 * 11.64

        w = 96.03 \ rad/s

The propagation constant k is mathematically represented as

                  k = \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}

Substituting values

                  k = \frac{2 * 3.142}{0. 540}

                   k =11.64 m^{-1}

Substituting values into the equation for mechanical waves

      y(1.51 , 0.150) = (5.50*10^{-2} ) cos ((11.64 * 1.151 ) - (96.03  * 0.150))

       y(1.51 , 0.150) = 0.055 m

(a) A long, straight solenoid has N turns, uniform cross-sectional area A, and length l. Show that the inductance of this soleno
Paul [167]

Answer:

a. L = μ₀AN²/l b. 1.11 × 10⁻⁷ H

Explanation:

a. The magnetic flux through the solenoid, Ф = NAB where N = number of turns of solenoid, A = cross-sectional area of solenoid and B = magnetic field at center of solenoid = μ₀ni where μ₀ = permeability of free space, n = number of turns per unit length = N/l where l = length of solenoid and i = current in solenoid.

Also, Li = Ф where L = inductance of solenoid.

So, Li = NAB

= NA(μ₀ni)

= NA(μ₀Ni/l)

Li = μ₀AN²i/l

dividing both sides by i, we have

So, L = μ₀AN²/l

b. The self- inductance, L = μ₀AN²/l where

A = πd²/4 where d = diameter of solenoid = 0.150 cm = 1.5 × 10⁻³ m, N = 50 turns, μ₀ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m and l = 5.00 cm = 5 × 10⁻² m

So, L = μ₀AN²/l

L = μ₀πd²N²/4l

L = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m × π(1.5 × 10⁻³ m)²(50)²/(4 × 5 × 10⁻² m)

L = 11,103.3 × 10⁻¹¹ H

L = 1.11033 × 10⁻⁷ H

L ≅ 1.11 × 10⁻⁷ H

Assume the acceleration of the object is a(t) = −9.8 meters per second per second. (Neglect air resistance.) With what initial v
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Vi = 94.64 m/s

Explanation:

I order to find out the initial velocity of the object, we can use third equation of motion:

2ah = Vf² - Vi²

where,

a = acceleration = -9.8 m/s²

h = maximum height covered by object = 460 m - 3 m = 457 m

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (since, object momentarily stops at highest point)

Vi = Initial Velocity = ?

Therefore,

2(-9.8 m/s²)(457 m) = (0 m/s)² - Vi²

Vi = √8957.2 m²/s²

<u>Vi = 94.64 m/s</u>
