: Suppose somebody, using the same apparatus which you used, measured I = 45.5 ma, and V = 8.2 volts on some resistor. Using you

r recorded uncertainties for the 50 ma and 10-volt scales, what would be the maximum % uncertainty in R if it were calculated from the Ohm’s Law Equation (1)? Use calculus methods to answer this question if you can.

Answer:

R = (18 ± 2) 10¹ Ω

ΔR = 2 10¹ Ω

Explanation:

Ohm's law relates voltage to current and resistance

           V = i R

            R = \frac{V}{i}V / i

the absolute error of the resistance is

           ΔR = | | \frac{dR}{DV} | \ \Delta V + | \frac{dR}{di} | \ \Delta i

the absolute value guarantees the worst case, maximum error

           ΔR = \frac{1}{i} \Delta V+ \frac{V}{i^2} \Delta i

The error in the voltage let be approximate, if we use a scale of 10 V, in general the scales are divided into 20 divisions, the error is the reading of 1 division, let's use a rule of direct proportion

          ΔV = 1 division = 10 V / 20 divisions

          ΔV = 0.5 V

The current error must also be approximate, if we have the same number of divisions

           Δi = 50 mA / 20 divisions

           Δi = 2.5 mA

       

let's calculate

          ΔR = \frac{1}{45.5 \ 10^{-3}} \ 0.5 + \frac{8.2}{(45.5 \ 10^{-3})^2 } \ 2.5 \ 10^{-3}

          ΔR = 10.99 + 9.9

          ΔR = 20.9 Ω

The absolute error must be given with a significant figure

          ΔR = 2 10¹ Ω

the resistance value is

          R = 8.2 / 45.5 10-3

          R = 180 Ω

the result should be

          R = (18 ± 2) 10¹ Ω

A maser is a laser-type device that produces electromagnetic waves with frequencies in the microwave and radio-wave bands of the
rusak2 [61]

Answers:

a) T=7.04(10)^{-10} s

b) 5.11(10)^{12} cycles

c) 2.06(10)^{26} cycles

d) 46000 s

Explanation:

<h2>a) Time for one cycle of the radio wave</h2>

We know the maser radiowave has a frequency f of 1,420,405,751.786 cycles/s

In addition we know there is an inverse relation between frequency and time T:

f=\frac{1}{T} (1)

Isolating  T: T=\frac{1}{f} (2)

T=\frac{1}{1,420,405,751.786 cycles/s} (3)

T=7.04(10)^{-10} s (4) This is the time for 1 cycle

<h2>b) Cycles that occur in 1 h</h2>

If 1h=3600s and we already know the amount of cycles per second 1,420,405,751.786 cycles/s, then:

1,420,405,751.786 \frac{cycles}{s}(3600s)=5.11(10)^{12} cycles This is the number of cycles in an hour

<h2>c) How many cycles would have occurred during the age of the earth, which is estimated to be 4.6(10)^{9} years?</h2>

Firstly, we have to convert this from years to seconds:

4.6(10)^{9} years \frac{365 days}{1 year} \frac{24 h}{1 day} \frac{3600 s}{1 h}=1.45(10)^{17} s

Now we have to multiply this value for the frequency of the maser radiowave:

1,420,405,751.786 cycles/s (1.45(10)^{17} s)=2.06(10)^{26} cycles This is the number of cycles in the age of the Earth

<h2>d) By how many seconds would a hydrogen maser clock be off after a time interval equal to the age of the earth?</h2>

If we have 1 second out for every 100,000 years, then:

4.6(10)^{9} years \frac{1 s}{100,000 years}=46000 s

This means the maser would be 46000 s off after a time interval equal to the age of the earth

A car starts out traveling at 35 m/s. The car hits the brakes and decelerates at a rate of 3 m/s^2 for 5 seconds. What Distance
Ipatiy [6.2K]
Answer:

Time needed: 2.5 s
Distance covered: 31.3 m

Explanation:

I'll start with the distance covered while decelerating. Since you know that the initial speed of the car is 15.0 m/s, and that its final speed must by 10.0 m/s, you can use the known acceleration to determine the distance covered by

v2f=v2i−2⋅a⋅d

Isolate d on one side of the equation and solve by plugging your values

d=v2i−v2f2a

d=(15.02−10.02)m2s−22⋅2.0ms−2

d=31.3 m

To get the time needed to reach this speed, i.e. 10.0 m/s, you can use the following equation

vf=vi−a⋅t, which will get you

t=vi−vfa

t=(15.0−10.0)ms2.0ms2=2.5 s

How can we calculate force
lutik1710 [3]

To calculate force, use the formula force equals mass times acceleration, or F = m × a. Make sure that the mass measurement you're using is in kilograms and the acceleration is in meters over seconds squared. When you've solved the equation, the force will be measured in Newtons.
