When non-metric units were used in the United Kingdom, a unit of mass called the pound-mass (lbm) was employed, where 1lbm=0.453

9kg. (a) If there is an uncertainty of 0.0001kg in the pound-mass unit, what is its percent uncertainty? (b) Based on that percent uncertainty, what mass in pound-mass has an uncertainty of 1 kg when converted to kilograms?

Drupady [299]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

a) 0.022%

b) 10014.32 lb

Explanation:

a) Percentage uncertainty would be

0.0001\times \frac{100}{0.4539}=0.022%

Percent uncertainty is 0.022%

b) For 1 kg uncertainty mass in kg would be

\frac{1}{0.022}\times {100}=4545.5\ kg

Mass in pounds would be

\frac{4545.5}{0.4539}=10014.32\ lb

Mass in pound-mass is 10014.32 lb

A body of mass 20kg initially at rest is subjected to a force of 40m for 15sec. Calculate the change in k.e
Ede4ka [16]

Explanation:

mass(m)=20kg

velocity(v)=d/t=2.67

k.e=?

now,

k.e=1/2mv^2

=1/2*20*(2.67)^2

=71J

Answer:

mechanical waves,

.

the quality of a sound governed by the rate of vibrations producing it; the degree of highness or lowness of a tone.

.

If the amplitude increases the volume increases and vice versa.

.

The type of medium affects a sound wave as sound travels with the help of the vibration in particles.

.

6 Fig. 6.1 is a full-scale diagram that represents a sound wave travelling in air
Oxana [17]

From  the measured wavelength from diagram, the frequency of the sound is 6660 Hz.

<h3>What is the frequency of a wave?</h3>

The frequency of a wave is the number of complete oscillation per second completed by a wave.

Frequency is related to wavelength and speed by the following formula:

  • Frequency = velocity/wavelength

Velocity of sound in air = 330 m/s

The measured wavelength = 5.0 cm = 0.05 m

Frequency = 330/0.05 = 6660 Hz

Therefore, based on the measured wavelength from diagram, the frequency of the sound is 6660 Hz.
