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 6,000N is applied to a formula one car that weighs 500kg. What is the car's acceleration?
Vesna [10]

Answer:

<h2>12 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question

f = 6000 N

m = 500 kg

We have

a =  \frac{6000}{500}  =  \frac{60}{5}  = 12 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>12 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

A car is accelerating at a rate of 35 m/s2 and has a resulting velocity increase from 17 m/s to 26 m/s. How long did it take to
harina [27]

Answer:The answer is (60 mph - 0 mph) / 8s = (26.8224 m/s - 0 m/s) / 8s = 3.3528 m/s 2 (meters per second squared) average acceleration. That would be 27,000 miles per hour squared.

The period T of a pendulum of length L is measured to determine g at the surface of Earth. The equation used is T=2π√L/g. The ma
saul85 [17]

Answer:

C: Variation in the value of g as the pendulum bob moves along its arc.

Explanation:

The formula for period of a simple pendulum is given by;

T = 2π√(L/g)

Where;

L is length

g is acceleration due to gravity

Now, from this period equation, it is clear that the only thing that can affect the period of a simple pendulum are changes to its length and acceleration due to gravity.

Looking at the options, the only one that talks about either the length or gravity as being potential causes of the error is option C

In February 1955, a paratrooper fell 362 m from an airplane without being able to open his chute but happened to land in snow, s
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

s = 0.9689 m

Explanation:

given,

Height of fall of paratroopers = 362 m

speed of impact = 52 m/s

mass of paratrooper = 86 Kg

From from snow on him = 1.2 ✕ 10⁵ N

now using formula

F = m a

a = F/m

a = \dfrac{1.2 \times 10^5}{86}

a =1395.35\ m/s^2

Using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 a s

s =\dfrac{v^2}{2a}

s =\dfrac{52^2}{2\times 1395.35}

s = 0.9689 m

The minimum depth of snow that would have stooped him is  s = 0.9689 m
