If your speedometer has an uncertainty of 2.5 km/h at a speed of 92 km/h, what is the percent uncertainty

Elis [28]

Answer:

2.7%

Explanation:

Given:

Uncertainty of the speedometer (u)= 2.5km/h

Speed measured at that uncertainty (v) = 92km/h

Percent uncertainty (p) is given as the ratio of the uncertainty to the speed measured then multiplied by 100%. i.e

p = $\frac{u}{v} * 100$ %

p = $\frac{2.5}{92} * 100$ %

p = 2.7%

Therefore, the percent uncertainty is 2.7%

Water flows straight down from an open faucet. The cross-sectional area of the faucet is 2.4 × 10-4m2 and the speed of the water

Ksenya-84 [330]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the continuity equations in the fluid and the kinematic equation for the description of the displacement, velocity and acceleration.

By definition the movement of the Fluid under the terms of Speed, acceleration and displacement is,

$v_2^2 = v_1^2 + 2gh$

Where,

$V_i =$ Velocity in each state

g= Gravity

h = Height

Our values are given as,

$A_1 = 2.4*10^{-4} m^2$

$v_1 = 0.8 m/s$

$h = 0.11m$

Replacing at the kinetic equation to find $V_2$ we have,

$v_2 = \sqrt{v_1^2 + 2gh}$

$v_2 = \sqrt{(0.8 m/s)^2 + 2(9.80 m/s2)(0.11 m)}$

$v_2= 1.67 m/s$

Applying the concepts of continuity,

$A_1v_1 = A_2v_2$

We need to find A_2 then,

$A_2= \frac{A_1v_1 }{v_2}$

So the cross sectional area of the water stream at a point 0.11 m below the faucet is

$A_2= \frac{A_1v_1 }{v_2}$

$A_2= \frac{(2.4*10^{-4})(0.8)}{(1.67)}$

$A_2= 1.14*10^{-4} m2$

Therefore the cross-sectional area of the water stream at a point 0.11 m below the faucet is $1.14*10^{-4} m2$

An element emits a spectrum that____________.a)is evenly spaced.b)is the same as all other elements.c)is unique to that element.

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

c)is unique to that element

Explanation:

The spectrum emitted by a element shows the internal electronic structure of that element.We know that all element is having different internal electronic structure that is why all element emits different spectrum.And the spacing between the spectrum is uneven .

Therefore the answer will be option C.

c)is unique to that element
