Do all of our scientific instruments have a limit on how precise they can make a measurement?

Physics

vladimir2022 [97]3 years ago

Yes. that is "True".

All instruments have limited exactness, so the capacity to determine little contrasts in measurement is subsequently restricted.  

Precision alludes to the closeness of at least two estimations to one another. For example, on the off chance that you gauge a given substance five times, and get 3.2 kg each time, at that point your estimation is precise. You can be extremely precise yet mistaken. You can likewise be exact yet not precise.

The ________ on the axis (c2) forms a pivot point with the atlas (c1) that allows you to nod a "no."
grandymaker [24]
The dens or the odontoid process of the axis or the second cervical spine forms a pivot point with the atlas or the first cervical vertebrae that is responsible for the nodding and the rotational movements of the head. This is reinforced by ligaments and the atlanto-occipital joint that allows the head to make a nodding or up and down movement on the vertebral column.

Explain the relationship between mass and gravity
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Since the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. So as the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases.

At the very end of Wagner's series of operas The Ring of Nibelung, Brunnhilde takes the golden ring form the finger of the dead
Blababa [14]

Answer:

a) 404 m² b) apparent height = 7.5 m

Explanation:

This question is about refraction and total internal refraction.

Here I will take refractive index of air and water

n_{air}=1\\ n_{water}=1.33=4/3

Now let's look at the diagram I have attached here

At some angle A, the light from the ring (yellow point) under water will be totally internally refracted (B = 90°), which means that rays of light (yellow arrow) that make large enough angle A will not be able to escape from the water. Since we assumed that the ring is a point, there will be a critical cone of angle A with the ring at its apex which traces a circle of radius R on the surface of water, which, beyond this radius, no light could escape.

According to snell's law

\frac{sin(B)}{sin(A)} = \frac{n_{water}}{n_{air}} = 4/3

At critical angle B = 90°

\frac{3)}{4}sin(B) = [tex]\frac{3}{4} sin(90^\circ ) = 0.75 = sin(A)

Therefore

A = 48.6^\circ

With this, we can find the radius of the circle (refer to my diagram)

h* tan (A) = R\\R =11.3 m

And with that we can find the area

A = \pi R^2=404\ m^2

Additional Problem

For apparent depth from above, we can think that, since we are accustomed to seeing light at the speed of c in air, our brain interpret light from <em>any</em> source to be traveling at c. This causes light that originated under water, which has the speed of

v_{water} = \frac{c}{n_{water}} = 0.75c

to appear as if it has traveled with the same duration as light with speed c

In order for this to happen our brain perceive shortened length  which is the apparent depth.

To put it in mathematical term

t_{travel}=\frac{h_{apparent}}{v_{water}} =\frac{h}{c}

So we get apparent depth

h_{apparent}=0.75h = 7.5\ m

An object is dropped from an altitude of one Earth radiusabove Earth's surface. If M is the mass of Earth and R is itsradius the
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The speed of the object just before it hits Earth is  \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{R}}

(A) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

M = mass of earth

R = radius of earth

The potential energy at height above the surface of the earth

P.E=-\dfrac{GmM}{R+h}

The kinetic energy at height above the surface of the earth

K.E = 0

The total energy at height above the surface of the earth

E = K.E+P.E

E = -\dfrac{GmM}{R+h}....(I)

The total energy at the surface of the earth

E'=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{GmM}{R}....(II)

We need to calculate the speed of the object  just before it hits Earth

From equation (I) and (II)

-\dfrac{GmM}{R+h}=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{GmM}{R}

Here, h = R

-\dfrac{GmM}{2R}=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{GmM}{R}

v= \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{R}}

Hence, The speed of the object just before it hits Earth is  \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{R}}.
