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)

How much work did the movers do (horizontally) pushing a 46.0-kgkg crate 10.5 mm across a rough floor without acceleration, if t

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

7.1 J

Explanation:

From the question,

Work done by the mover = work done in pushing the crate + work done against friction

W = W'+Wf................. Equation 1

W = mgd+mgμd............ Equation 2

W = mgd(1+μ)................ Equation 3

Where m = mass of the crate, g = acceleration due to gravity, d = distance, μ = coefficient of friction.

Given: m = 46 kg, d = 10.5 mm = 0.0105 m, μ = 0.5

constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 3

W = 46×9.8×0.0105(1+0.5)

W = 7.1 J

Are volcanoes fed by highly viscous magma a greater threat to life and property than volcanoes supplied with very fluid magma?

butalik [34]

Answer:

A volcano fed by highly viscous magma is likely to be a greater threat to life and property than a volcano supplied with very fluid magma because with high viscous magma gas is trapped more in the magma so the gas will build up and then eventually explode, whereas with fluid magma the gas can escape allowing the magma.

Two speakers separated by a distance of 4.40 m emit sound. The speakers have opposite phase. A person listens from a location 3.

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

f = 147.21 Hz

Explanation:

In order to have a destructive interference, as the source emit in opposite phases, the path difference between the distance to the person, measured in a straight line from the speakers, must be equal to an integer number of wavelengths.

We need to know the distance from the listener to the other speaker, located 4.4 m from the one which is directly in front of him, which we can find using Pythagorean theorem, as follows:

l₂ = √(3)²+(4.4)² = 5.33 m

The difference in path will be, then:

d = l₂-l₁ = 5.33 m - 3.00 m = 2.33 m

For the lowest frequency that gives destructive interference, the wavelength will be highest possible, which happens when the distance is just one wavelength.

⇒ d = λ = 2.33 m

In any wave, there exists a fixed relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength, as follows:

v = λ*f Κ ⇒ f = v/λ

Taking the speed of sound as 343 m/s, and solving for f, we get:

f= 343 m/s / 2.33 m = 147.21 Hz
