Answer:

1 cm ± 0.05 cm

Explanation:

A ruler is readable to ±0.05 cm. This implies that any measurement taken using the ruler could be uncertain by 0.05 cm above or below the true value.

Hence, ±0.05 cm  is called the uncertainty or the precision of the ruler.

We obtained this from the fact that the meter rule is graduated in units of centimetres (cm). This implies that the smallest scale division is 1 mm. Thus, the uncertainty of the meter rule is given by; Δx = smallest increment/2 = 1mm/2 = 0.5mm = 0.05cm.

A solenoid is built with 870 turns uniformly distributed over a length of 0.390 m to produce a magnetic field of magnitude 1.00
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

35.7 mA

Explanation:

The magnetic field inside a solenoid is given by:

B=\mu_0 I n (1)

where

\mu_0 = 4\pi \cdot 10^{-7} H/m is the vacuum permeability

I is the current

n is the number of turns per unit length

Since we have

N = 870 turns

L = 0.390 (length of the solenoid)

we can calculate n

n=\frac{N}{L}=\frac{870}{0.390}=2230.8

And now we can re-arrange eq.(1) to find the current, I:

I=\frac{B}{\mu_0 n}=\frac{1.00\cdot 10^{-4} T}{(4\pi\cdot 10^{-7} H/m)(2230.8m^{-1})}=0.0357 A = 35.7 mA

What force causes an elevator to go up?
WITCHER [35]
The combined system of you + elevator has two forces, a combined force of gravity and the tension in the cable. Consider the normal force acting on you from the elevator: N = mg if the elevator is at rest or moving at constant velocity. N = mg + ma if the elevator has an upward acceleration.
