An object is released from rest and falls in free fall motion. The speed v of the object after it has fallen a distance y is giv

en by v2 = 2gy. In an experiment, v and y are measured and the measured values are used to calculate g. If the percent uncertainty in the measured value of v is 3.69% and the percent uncertainty in the measured value of y is 5.00%, what is the percent uncertainty in the calculated value of g?

Answer:

8.91 %

Explanation:

Since v² = 2gy

By the relative error formula,

2Δv/v = Δg/g + Δy/y multiplying by 100%, we have

2Δv/v × 100% = Δg/g × 100 % + Δy/y × 100%

2(Δv/v × 100%) = Δg/g × 100 % + Δy/y × 100%

Δg/g × 100 % = 2(Δv/v × 100%) - Δy/y × 100%

Since Δv/v × 100% = 3.69 % and Δy/y × 100% = 5 %

Since we have a difference for the percentage error in g, we square the percentage errors and add them together. So,

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = [2(Δv/v × 100%)]² + [Δy/y × 100%]²

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = [2(3.69)]² + [5%]²

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = [4)(3.69 %)² + [5%]²

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = 54.4644 %² + 25%²

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = 79.4644 %²

taking square-root of both sides, we have

[Δg/g × 100 %] = 8.91 %

So, the percent uncertainty in the calculated value of g is 8.91 %

A crow is flying horizontally with a constant speed of 2.70 m/s when it releases a clam from its beak. the clam lands on the roc
vovangra [49]

Part a)

in horizontal direction there is no gravity or no other acceleration

so in horizontal direction the speed of clam will remain same

v_x = 2.70 m/s

Part b)

In vertical direction we can use kinematics

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = 0 + 2.1 * 9.8

v_f = 20.6 m/s

part c)

if the speed of crow will be increased then the horizontal speed of the clam will also increase but there is no change in the vertical speed

An object with a mass of 78kg is lifted through a height of 6 meters. How much work is done?
g100num [7]
Work = force x distance. 

force = mass x acceleration 

work = mass x acceleration x diastance 

use acceleration of gravity in this problem 

W (J) = m (kg) x a (m/s/s) x d (m) 
W = 78 x 9.8 x 6 
W = 4586.4

While playing her guitar , karen plucks one string with increasing levels of force. What effect does this have on the sound prod
Lena [83]

Answer:

The amplitude of vibration of string will increase due to which loudness of sound will increase

Explanation:

As we know that the guitar is based on the principle of Resonance. When string of the guitar vibrates at a given frequency then the sound produced in the hollow part of the guitar will also be at same frequency.

This is known as resonance condition, so guitar will produce same frequency sound as that of frequency of string.

Now if the string is plucked with increasing level of force then it will increase the amplitude of vibrations of the string due to which the sound produced in the guitar will also be of same level.

So here we can say that amplitude and intensity of sound related as

I = kA^2

so on increasing amplitude the intensity will increase and hence it will produce loud sound

A bullet with mass 0.04000 kg, traveling at a speed of 310.0 m/s, strikes a stationary block of wood having mass 6.960 kg. The b
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

1.77 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

mu+m'u' = V(m+m')............................ Equation 1

Where m = mass of the bullet, m' = mass of the block, u = initial velocity of the bullet, u' = initial velocity of the block, V = Velocity of the bullet-wood combination immediately after collision

make V the subject of the equation

V = (mu+m'u')/(m+m').................. Equation 2

Given: m = 0.04 kg, m' = 6.96 kg, u = 310 m/s, u' = 0 m/s (stationary)

Substitute into equation 2

V = (0.04×310+6.96×0)/(0.04+6.96)

V = 12.4/7

V = 1.77 m/s

Hence the speed, in m/s, of the bullet-plus-wood combination immediately after the collision is 1.77 m/s
