What, roughly, is the percent uncertainty in the volume of a spherical beach ball whose radius is 5.66 0.09 m?

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

4.77 %

Explanation:

We know that the volume V for a sphere of radius r is

$V(r) = \frac{4}{3} \ \pi \ r^3$

If we got an uncertainty $\Delta r$ the formula for the uncertainty of V is:

$\Delta V(r) = \sqrt{ (\frac{dV}{dr} \Delta r)^2 }$

We can calculate this uncertainty, first we obtain the derivative:

$\frac{dV}{dr} = 3 * \frac{4}{3} \ \pi \ r^2$

$\frac{dV}{dr} = 4 \ \pi \ r^2$

And using it in the formula:

$\Delta V(r) = \sqrt{ (4 \ \pi \ r^2\Delta r)^2 }$

$\Delta V(r) = \sqrt{ 4^2 \ \pi^2 \ r^4 \Delta r^2 }$

$\Delta V(r) = 4 \ \pi \ r^2 \Delta r$

The relative uncertainty is:

$\frac{\Delta V(r)}{V(r)}$

$\frac{ 4 \ \pi \ r^2 \Delta r }{ \frac{4}{3} \ \pi \ r^3}$

$\frac{ 3 \Delta r }{ r}$

Using the values for the problem:

$\frac{ 3 * 0.09 m }{ 5.66 m} = 0.0477$

This is, a percent uncertainty of 4.77 %

what happens to the current in a circuit if the resitance of the components in the circuit is increased

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The current decreases.

Explanation:

Current and resistance are inversely proportional. The equation connecting current, resistance and voltage is $V = IR$ , where V is voltage, I is current and R is resistance.

Rearranging this equation, you get:

$I = \frac{V}{R}$

and

$R = \frac{V}{I}$

If the value of voltage in both equations remains constant, and the value of R decreases, the value of I will increase. Conversely, if in the second equation $R = \frac{V}{I}$ , the value of V remains constant the value of I decreases, then the value of R, resistance will increase.

Thus, it can be seen that the current will decrease as resistance increases and vice versa.
