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 %

Alona [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

This does not violate Newton's 1st law because the net force would still be 0 in order to produce uniform motion (aka constant velocity). The other forces acting on the vehicles is air resistance which is non-zero. So we need car internal force to counter balance this force, which require extra gas for the car.

By what factor will the acceleration of an object change its mass stays constant but the force acting on it triples
Viktor [21]

Answer:

lacceleration is given by

a=F/m

With force acting on the object remained constant ,the acceleration is inversly proportional to mass of the object i.e with increase in mass =>acceleration decreases and with decrease in mass => acceleration increases.

a)

acceleration decreases

b)

acceleration increase

alukav5142 [94]
(1) friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces , fluid layers and material elements sliding against each other.
(2) gravity is a science fiction .
(3) Resistance ::: is a property of a conductor by which the passage of current is opposed causing electric energy to be transformed into heat .
(4) viscosity is the quantity that describes a fluid.

How does Bohr’s model of the atom compare with Thomson’s model? They both describe atoms as small, indivisible spheres. They bot
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

They both describe atoms as being made up of positive and negative matter.

Explanation:

In both Bohr's model and Thomson model, the atom consists of positively-charged matter and negatively-charged matter. However, the structure of the atom in the two models is totally different:

- in Thomson's model, the atom consists of a large sphere of uniform positive charge, and electrons (which are negatively charged) are scattered all around inside this sphere

- In Bohr's model, the atom consists of a small, positively charged nucleus, while the electrons (negatively charged) orbit around the nucleus in precise orbits.
