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 child of mass 46.2 kg sits on the edge of a merry-go-round with radius 1.9 m and moment of inertia 130.09 kg m2 . The merrygo-

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The angular velocity is $w_f = 4.503 \ rad/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the child is $m_c = 46.2 \ kg$

The radius of the merry go round is $r = 1.9 \ m$

The moment of inertia of the merry go round is $I_m = 130.09 \ kg \cdot m^2$

The angular velocity of the merry-go round is $w = 2.4 \ rad/s$

The position of the child from the center of the merry-go-round is $x = 0.779 \ m$

According to the law of angular momentum conservation

The initial angular momentum = final angular momentum

So

$L_i = L_f$

=> $I_i w_i = I_fw_f$

Now $I_i$ is the initial moment of inertia of the system which is mathematically represented as

$I_i = I_m + I_{b_1}$

Where $I_{b_i}$ is the initial moment of inertia of the boy which is mathematically evaluated as

$I_{b_i} = m_c * r$

substituting values

$I_{b_i} = 46.2 * 1.9^2$

$I_{b_i} = 166.8 \ kg \cdot m^2$

Thus

$I_i =130.09 + 166.8$

$I_i = 296.9 \ kg \cdot m^2$

Thus

$I_i * w_i =L_i= 296.9 * 2.4$

$L_i = 712.5 \ kg \cdot m^2/s$

Now

$I_f = I_m + I_{b_f }$

Where $I_{b_f}$ is the final moment of inertia of the boy which is mathematically evaluated as

$I_{b_f} = m_c * x$

substituting values

$I_{b_f} = 46.2 * 0.779^2$

$I_{b_f} = 28.03 kg \cdot m^2$

Thus

$I_f = 130.09 + 28.03$

$I_f = 158.12 \ kg \ m^2$

Thus

$L_f = 158.12 * w_f$

Hence

$712.5 = 158.12 * w_f$

$w_f = 4.503 \ rad/s$

Using an unmanned rocket to visit the space station requires 85.2 trillion BTU of energy. The best fuel for the mission will hav

Illusion [34]

We shall convert all of the densities to lbs/gal, so the product of
BTU/lbs and lbs/gal gives us the basis of comparison, which was "ratio of energy to volume".
grams / ml x 1 lbs/454 grams → 1 lbs/ 454 ml
1 lbs/454 ml x 3785.41 ml/gal → 3785.41 lbs/454gal
Conversion of g/ml = 8.34 lbs/gal
Looking at each fuel:

Kerosene:
18,500 x (8.34 x 0.82) = 126,517 BTU/gal

Gasoline:
20,900 x (8.34 x 0.737) = 128,463 BTU/gal

Ethanol:
11,500 x (8.34 x 0.789) = 75,673 BTU/gal

Hydrogen:
61,000 x (8.34 x 0.071) = 36,120 BTU/gal

The best fuel in terms of energy to volume ratio is Gasoline.
Gallons required:
BTU needed / BTU per gallon
= 85.2 x 10⁹ / 128,463
= 6.6 x 10⁵ gallons
