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

1 answer:

6 0

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

Issue: {A,B} contain error (measurement or otherwise) 

Objective: estimate the error in the vector sum. 

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

C = A + B 

w + dw = (u + du) + (v + dv) 

w + dw = (u + v) + (du + dv) 

w = u+v; dw = du + dv 

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

what is the transfer of heat energy by direct contact. A . convection b. radiation c. thermal or heat and d. conduction

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

d. conduction

Explanation:

Conduction involves the transfer of electric charge or thermal energy due to the movement of particles. When the conduction relates to electric charge, it is known as electrical conduction while when it relates to thermal energy, it is known as heat conduction.

In the process of heat conduction, thermal energy is usually transferred from fast moving particles to slow moving particles during the collision of these particles. Also, thermal energy is typically transferred between objects that has different degrees of temperature and materials (particles) that are directly in contact with each other but differ in their ability to accept or give up electrons.

Any material or object that allow the conduction (transfer) of electric charge or thermal energy is generally referred to as a conductor. Conductors include metal, steel, aluminum, copper, frying pan, pot, spoon etc.

In conclusion, conduction typically involves the transfer of heat energy by direct contact between two or more conductors such as a pot and electric cooker.

Two astronauts (each with mass 100 kg) are drifting together through space. They are connected to each other by a rope 5 m in le

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

1000 kgm²/s, 400 J

1000 kgm²/s, 1000 J

600 J

Explanation:

m = Mass of astronauts = 100 kg

d = Diameter

r = Radius = $\frac{d}{2}$

v = Velocity of astronauts = 2 m/s

Angular momentum of the system is given by

$L=mvr+mvr\\\Rightarrow L=2mvr\\\Rightarrow L=2\times 100\times 2\times 2.5\\\Rightarrow L=1000\ kgm^2/s$

The angular momentum of the system is 1000 kgm²/s

Rotational energy is given by

$K=I\omega^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}(mr^2)\left(\frac{v}{r}\right)^2\\\Rightarrow K=mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=100\times 2^2\\\Rightarrow K=400\ J$

The rotational energy of the system is 400 J

There no external toque present so the initial and final angular momentum will be equal to the initial angular momentum 1000 kgm²/s

$L_i=L_f\\\Rightarrow 2mv_ir_i=2mv_fr_f\\\Rightarrow v_f=\frac{v_ir_i}{r_f}\\\Rightarrow v_f=\frac{2\times 2.5}{0.5}\\\Rightarrow v_f=10\ m/s$

Energy

$E_2=mv_f^2\\\Rightarrow E_2=100\times 10\\\Rightarrow E_2=1000\ J$

The new energy will be 1000 J

Work done will be the change in the kinetic energy

$W=E_2-E\\\Rightarrow W=1000-400\\\Rightarrow W=600\ J$

The work done is 600 J

Calculate the force of gravity on the 0.60-kg mass if it were 1.3×107 m above Earth's surface (that is, if it were three Earth r

KIM [24]

The force of gravity between two objects is given by:
$F=G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is their separation

In this problem, the mass of the object is $m_1=0.60 kg$ , while the Earth's mass is $m_2=5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg$ . Their separation is $r=1.3 \cdot 10^7 m$ , therefore the gravitational force exerted on the object is
$F=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}) \frac{(0.60 kg)(5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(1.3 \cdot 10^7 m)^2}=1.4 N$

How many components can be realized of a vector?

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

two different components

Explanation:

Any two-dimensional vector can be conceived of as having two distinct components. The component of a single vector describes the vector's effect in a specific direction.
