How would you determine how much error there is between a vector addition and the real results

Physics

chubhunter [2.5K]3 years ago

Desired operation: A + B = C; {A,B,C) are vector quantities. 

<span>Issue: {A,B} contain error (measurement or otherwise) </span>

<span>Objective: estimate the error in the vector sum. </span>

<span>Let A = u + du; where u is the nominal value of A and du is the error in A </span>
<span>Let B = v + dv; where v is the nominal value of B and dv is the error in B </span>
<span>Let C = w + dw; where w is the nominal value of C and dw is the error in C [the objective] </span>

<span>C = A + B </span>

<span>w + dw = (u + du) + (v + dv) </span>

<span>w + dw = (u + v) + (du + dv) </span>

<span>w = u+v; dw = du + dv </span>

<span>The error associated with w is the vector sum of the errors associated with the measured quantities (u,v)</span>

How long does it take an automobile traveling 66.7 km/h to become even with a car that is traveling in another lane at 52.7 km/h
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The  time taken is  t =  32.5 \  s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  speed  of  first car is  v_1  =  66.7 \ km/h  =  18.3 \  m/s

    The  speed  of  second car is v_2  =  52.7 \ km/h  =  14.64 \  m/s

   The  initial distance of separation is  d =  119 \ m

The distance covered by first car is mathematically represented as

     d_t =  d_i  +  d_f

Here  d_i is the initial distance which is  0 m/s

  and  d_f  is the final distance covered which is  evaluated as d_f  =  v_1 * t

So

     d_t =  0 \  m/s  +  (v_1 * t )

     d_t =  0 \  m/s  +  (18.3 * t )

The distance covered by second  car is mathematically represented as

     d_t =  d_i  +  d_f

Here  d_i is the initial distance which is  119 m

  and  d_f  is the final distance covered which is  evaluated as d_f  =  v_2* t

       d_t =  119  + 14.64 *  t

Given that the two car are now in the same position we have that

    119  + 14.64 *  t  =   0   +  (18.3 * t )

   t =  32.5 \  s

What happens when someone is walking across the carpeted room then touches a metal door knob
igomit [66]
Static electricity travels to the door knob because of the friction caused by the feet on the carpet. the friction traveled through the person, to their hand, and to the door knob because it is the best conductor.

What best describes the speed of light waves in solids, liquids, and gases?
hammer [34]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Generally, the speed of light slows down when passing through a medium that is not a vacuum. This is not always the case, but I will be ignoring the rare/exotic exceptions. Light has a harder time traveling through solids and liquids than it does with gases.

A humanoid skeleton is found buried in the ashes of a volcano that erupted between 10,000 and 12,000 years ago. when scientists
Inga [223]
From reliable sources in the internet, the half-live of carbon-14 is given to be 5,730 years. In a span of 10,000 to 12,000 years, there are almost or little more than 2 half-lives. Thus, there should be
                                           A(t) = A(0)(1/2)^t
where t is the number of half-lives, in this case 2. Thus, only about 1/4 of the original amount will be left.

How does the law of conservation of energy relate to the system shown in this model
egoroff_w [7]

Answer: The law of conservation of energy is a physical law that states energy cannot be created or destroyed but may be changed from one form to another. Another way of stating this law of chemistry is to say the total energy of an isolated system.
