Infrared waves are used in heat lamps and other heat sensing devices. Infrared waves or commonly known as Infrared radiations (IR) is the type of electromagnetic radiation we encounter most in our everyday life. Heat lamps are electrical devices which emit infrared radiation.
Answer:
a) x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in
, b) the number of decks is 5
Explanation:
a) The thickness of the deck of cards (d) is measured and the thickness of a card (x) is calculated
x = d / 52
x = 0.590 / 52
x = 0.011346 in
Let's look for uncertainty
Δx = dx /dd Δd
Δx = 1/52 Δd
Δx = 1/52 0.005
Δx = 0.0001 in
The result of the calculation is
x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in
b) You want to reduce the error to Δx = 0.00002, the number of cards to be measured is
#_cards = n 52
The formula for thickness is
x = d / n 52
Uncertainty
Δx = 1 / n 52 Δd
n = 1/52 Δd / Δx
n = 1/52 0.005 / 0.00002
n = 4.8
Since the number of decks must be an integer the number of decks is 5
Answer:
88.34 N directed towards the center of the circle
Explanation:
Applying,
F = mv²/r................... Equation 1
F = Force needed to keep the mass in a circle, m = mass of the mass, v = velocity of the mass, r = radius of the circle.
But,
v = 2πr/t................... Equation 2
Where t = time, π = pie
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1
F = m(2πr/t)²/r
F = 4π²r²m/t²r
F = 4π²rm/t²............. Equation 3
From the question,
Given: m = 0.8 kg, r = 0.7 m, t = 0.5 s
Constant: π = 3.14
Substitute these values into equation 3
F = 4(3.14²)(0.7)(0.8)/0.5²
F = 88.34 N directed towards the center of the circle
