Answer:

ΔR = 9 s

Explanation:

To calculate the propagation of the uncertainty or absolute error, the variation with each parameter must be calculated and the but of the cases must be found, which is done by taking the absolute value

The given expression is R = 2A / B

the uncertainty is ΔR = | $\frac{dR}{dA}$ | ΔA + | $\frac{ dR}{dB}$ | ΔB

we look for the derivatives

$\frac{dR}{dA}$ = 9 / B

$\frac{dR}{dB}$ = 9A ( $- \frac{1}{B^2 }$ )

we substitute

ΔR = $\frac{9}{B}$ ΔA + $\frac{9A}{B^2}$ ΔB

the values are

ΔA = 2 s

ΔB = 3 s

ΔR = $\frac{9}{11}$ 2 + $\frac{9 \ 32}{11^2 }$ 3

ΔR = 1.636 + 7.14

ΔR = 8,776 s

the absolute error must be given with a significant figure

ΔR = 9 s

Two bullets of the same size, mass and horizontal velocity are fired at identical blocks, only one is made of steel and the othe

tatiyna

Answer and Explanation:

Since we're discussing shots, the significant thing is the way the energy is changed over as there is deceleration of the bullet to a halt when it hits something.

Kinetic Energy is relative to mass times speed squared, so in reality, the 2 cases given have practically indistinguishable Kinetic energy. The measure of energy is authoritative, so the two cases will do generally a similar harm given, obviously we look at situations when all the kinetic energy is spent.

One contrast that will be effectively obvious is that the weapon in the case of heavy bullet will recoil more.
One can consider energy assimilation as force times separation distance, and energy ingestion as a product of force and time.
Henceforth, the heavier yet more slow bullet with a similar energy will venture to every part of a similar separation in the engrossing material, but since of bigger force, will take a more drawn out time doing it.
It will along these lines, additionally, give a more noteworthy "kick" to the object that absorbs.

Nuclear fusion has not yet been harnessed as an energy source because

maksim [4K]

Before getting an answer for it first we have to understand nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fusion is a thermo-nuclear reaction in which two light unstable nuclei will form a heavy stable nuclei. In this process there will be some mass defect which will be converted into energy as per Einstein's mass energy equivalence theorem.

The theorem is stated as $E = mc^{2}$ where c is the velocity of light and m is the mass converted into energy.

One take an example of fusion in sun where 4 hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium nucleus which are explained below-

$H_{1}^{1}+H_{1} ^{1} =H_{1} ^{2} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy$

$H_{1} ^{2} +H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{3} +energy$

$He_{2} ^{3}+H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{4} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

$4H_{1} ^{1} = He_{2} ^{4} +2e_{+1} ^{0} +energy$

Here $e_{+1} ^{0}$ is the positron.

In this process very high temperature is needed which is approximately equal to the temperature of the sun i.e $10^{6} K$

Such temperature is very difficult to initiate the reaction on the earth surface. It should be carried out in an sustainable way also .Otherwise It will cause nuclear hazards.
