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)

The magnetic force of a magnet is stronger at its poles than in the middle. true or false

earnstyle [38]

The magnetic field of a bar magnet is strongest at either pole of the magnet. It is equally strong at the north pole when compared with the south pole. The force is weaker in the middle of the magnet and halfway between the pole and the center.

A horizontal force of 40N is needed to pull a 60kg box across the horizontal floor at which coefficient of friction between floo

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Coefficient of friction is $0.068$ .

Work done is $320~J$ .

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the box ( $m$ ): $60$ kg

Force needed ( $F$ ): $40$ N

The formula to calculate the coefficient of friction between the floor and the box is given by

$F=\mu mg...................(1)$

Here, $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.

Substitute $40$ N for $F$ , $60$ kg for $m$ and $9.80$ m/s² for $g$ into equation (1) and solve to calculate the value of the coefficient of friction.
