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 %

Your house is 45.0 m from a powerline carrying 152 A of current. How much magnetic field does the current create at your house?
Sedaia [141]

This question involves the concepts of th magnetic field and current.

The magnetic field created by the current at the house is "6.75 x 10⁻⁷ T".

<h3>Magnetic Field</h3>

The magnetic field created by a current carrying wire can be given by the following formula:

B=\frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi r}

where,

  • B = magnetic field = ?
  • \mu_o= permeabiliy of free space =4π x 10⁻⁷
  • I = current = 152 A
  • r = distance = 45 m

B=\frac{4\pi x\ 10^{-7}(152)}{2\pi(45)}

B = 6.75 x 10⁻⁷ T

What will be the force if the particle's charge is tripled and the electric field strength is halved? Give your answer in terms
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

F' = (3/2)F

Explanation:

the formula for the electric field strength is given as follows:

E = F/q

where,

E = Electric Field Strength

F = Force due to the electric field

q = magnitude of charge experiencing the force

Therefore,

F = E q   ---------------- equation (1)

Now, if we half the electric field strength and make the magnitude of charge triple its initial value. Then the force will become:

F' = (E/2)(3 q)

F' = (3/2)(E q)

using equation (1)

<u>F' = (3/2)F</u>
