Answer:

This difference is kept to a minimum because the resistance in transformers is a few tens of ohms and the resistance of modern voltmeters is of the order of MΩ.

Explanation:

A voltmeter is built by a galvanometer and a resistance in series, this set is connected in parallel to the resistance where the voltage is to be measured, therefore the voltage is divided between the voltmeter and the element to be measured, consequently the measured voltage It is less than the calculated one, since for them the resistance of the voltmeter is assumed infinite.

This difference is kept to a minimum because the resistance in transformers is a few tens of ohms and the resistance of modern voltmeters is of the order of MΩ.

The sides of a cube are each of length 1. 00 m. Each side is measured with an uncertainty
astraxan [27]

The absolute uncertainty in the volume of the cube is 0.06 m³.

We need to know about the uncertainty of measurement to solve this problem. The uncertainty of cube volume can be determined by

V = s³

|ΔV| = dV/ds x Δs

where V is volume, s is length, ΔV is uncertainty in the volume and Δs is the uncertainty of length.

From the question above, we know that

s = 1.00 m

Δs = 2% of s = 2/100 x 1 = 0.02 m

By using the uncertainty of volume formula, we get

|ΔV| = dV/ds x Δs

|ΔV| = d(s³)/ds x Δs

|ΔV| = 3s² x Δs

|ΔV| = 3. 1² x 0.02

|ΔV| = 0.06 m³

Hence, the uncertainty in the volume is 0.06 m³.

A hockey player hits a puck so that it comes to rest in 9 s after sliding 30 m on the ice. Determine (a) the acceleration in ter
blondinia [14]

Answer:

a) Acceleration, a = -u/9, where u is the initial velocity

b) Acceleration = 0.741 m/s², Initial velocity = 6.67 m/s

Explanation:

 We have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

a)  We have v = 0 m/s, t = 9 s

 So,    0 = u + a x 9

      Acceleration, a = -u/9, where u is the initial velocity

b) We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

 s = 30 m , u = -9a, t =9 s

 So,  30= -9a*9+\frac{1}{2} *a*9^2\\ \\ 30=-40.5a\\ \\ a=-0.741m/s^2

u = -9a = 6.67 m/s

So acceleration = 0.741 m/s², Initial velocity = 6.67 m/s

Describe how you would determine the force acting on an object if the forces were not acting in the same direction?
Svetach [21]

If you know the amount of force acted on an object to find the amount actually being put onto it, you just add the amount of work done onto it, but if you are trying to find the difference between the amount of forces you just subtract the amount of force acting on the object.
