Answer:

a. 1.80 %

b. 0.60 %

c. 1.20 %

d. 0.60 %

e. 0.60 %

Explanation:

In order to calculate percent uncertainties in each case, we forst need to calculate the average value:

Average Diameter = (16.4 mm + 16.8 mm + 16.9 mm + 16.6 mm +16.8 mm)/5

Average Diameter = 16.7 mm

Now, the formula for percent uncertainty is:

% Uncertainty = (Uncertainty/Average) * 100 %

where,

Uncertainty = |Value - Average|

For Each Case:

<u>a. 16.4 mm</u>:

Uncertainty = |16.4 mm - 16.7 mm| = 0.3 mm

Therefore,

% Uncertainty = (0.3 mm/16.7 mm) * 100%

<u>% Uncertainty = 1.80 %</u>

<u></u>

<u>b. 16.8 mm</u>:

Uncertainty = |16.8 mm - 16.7 mm| = 0.1 mm

Therefore,

% Uncertainty = (0.1 mm/16.7 mm) * 100%

<u>% Uncertainty = 0.60 %</u>

<u></u>

<u>c. 16.4 mm</u>:

Uncertainty = |16.9 mm - 16.7 mm| = 0.2 mm

Therefore,

% Uncertainty = (0.2 mm/16.7 mm) * 100%

<u>% Uncertainty = 1.20 %</u>

<u></u>

<u>d. 16.6 mm</u>:

Uncertainty = |16.6 mm - 16.7 mm| = 0.1 mm

Therefore,

% Uncertainty = (0.1 mm/16.7 mm) * 100%

<u>% Uncertainty = 0.60 %</u>

<u></u>

<u>e. 16.8 mm</u>:

Uncertainty = |16.8 mm - 16.7 mm| = 0.3 mm

Therefore,

% Uncertainty = (0.1 mm/16.7 mm) * 100%

<u>% Uncertainty = 0.60 %</u>

Find the orbital speed v for a satellite in a circular orbit of radius R.Express the orbital speed in terms of G, M, and R.
AlekseyPX
<h2>Answer:V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}  </h2>

The velocity of a satellite describing a circular orbit is <u>constant</u> and defined by the following expression:

V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}     (1)

Where:

G is the gravity constant

M the mass of the massive body around which the satellite is orbiting

R the radius of the orbit (measured from the center of the planet to the satellite).

Note this orbital speed, as well as orbital period, does not depend on the mass of the satellite. I<u>t depends on the mass of the massive body.</u>

In addition, this orbital speed is constant because at all times <u>both the kinetic energy and the potential remain constant</u> in a circular (closed) orbit.

Explain how the message is transmitted from the receiving neuron’s dendrites down the axon all the way to the axon terminal (ele
Vikki [24]

The vesicles release neurotransmitters. These cross the synapse and are accepted by the receptors in the dendrites of the next neuron.

Explanation:

An axon, or nerve fiber, is a long slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body. Axons are in effect the primary transmission lines of the nervous system, and as bundles they help make up nerves.

When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, it depolarizes the membrane and opens voltage-gated Na+ channels. Na+ ions enter the cell, further depolarizing the presynaptic membrane.

When a mass of 0.350 kg is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 12.0 cm. The mass is now displ
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

period of oscillations is 0.695 second

Explanation:

given data

mass m = 0.350 kg

spring stretches x = 12 cm = 0.12 m

to find out

period of oscillations

solution

we know here that force

force = k × x   .........1

so force = mg =  0.35 (9.8)  = 3.43 N

3.43 = k × 0.12

k = 28.58 N/m

so period of oscillations is

period of oscillations = 2π × \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }   ................2

put here value

period of oscillations = 2π × \sqrt{\frac{0.35}{28.58} }  

period of oscillations = 0.6953

so period of oscillations is 0.695 second
