9. What is the uncertainty of the measurement of a voltage measurement on the oscilloscope when the vertical scale is set to 2V

Answer:

Accuracy of measurement = ± 0.19%

Explanation:

For a 8-bit D/A converter,

Accuracy of measurement = 1/2ⁿ = 1/2⁸ = 1/256 = 0.0039 = 0.39% or ± 0.19%

Given that vertical scale is set to 2V/division so the absolute value of the error is 2*0.0019 = ± 3.8 mV

Example:

In a digital oscilloscope, 1 volt/division means that each division on the oscilloscope shows exactly 1 volt, similarly, 0.5 V/division means that each division shows exactly 0.5 volt so 1 V will take 2 divisions hence the signal will appear larger (zoomed in) on the other hand, setting it on 2V/division will make the signal appear smaller (zoomed out).

Note: Volts/division doesn't change the amplitude of the signals, it only makes them appear zoomed in or out so that the required signal can fit on the oscilloscope screen.

A stone is thrown vertically upward at a speed of 41.50 m/s at time t=0. A second stone is thrown upward with the same speed 3.0
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

t1 = t2 + 3.02         V = 41.5

V t1 - 1/2 g t1^2 = V t2 - 1/2 g t2^2

Both stones reach the same height after the specified times

V (t1 - t2) = g/2 (t1^2 - t2^2) = g/2 (t1 - t2) (t1 + t2)

2 V / g = t1 + t2 = 2t1 + 3.02

t1 = V / g - 1.51 = 41.5 / 9.8 -1.51 = 2.72 s

t2 = t1 + 3.02 = 5.74 sec

Check:

41.5 * 2.72 - 4.9 * 2.72^2 = 76.6 m

41.5 * 5.74 - 4.9 * 5.74^2 = 76.8 m

Speed of second stone = 41.5 - 9.8 * 2.72 = 14.8 m/s

What must happen to the temperature of a material for thermal expansion to occur.
Aloiza [94]
In most cases the temperature must increase for thermal expansion to occur. Most substances expand as temperature increases because the atoms or molecules vibrate faster as temperature increases and experience greater separation.
