An ordinary ruler is used to measure the area and its error of a rectangle. It is found that their sides are 5.0 cm long and 2.0

cm width. The error in area (in cm) is​

Answer:

You need to know the accuracy to which you can read the ruler:

Suppose that you can read the read the ruler to the nearest milimeter

A = L * W     your calculated area of the rectangle

A + ΔA = (L + ΔL) * (W + ΔW) = L W + L ΔW + W * ΔL + ΔL ΔA

Or ΔA =  L ΔW + W ΔL

Where we have subtracted A = L * W and the term ΔL * ΔA is very small

So (5 + .1) * (2 + .1) - 5 * 2 = .1 * 2 + .1 * 5 = .7 cm^2

Then you report A = 10 cm^2 +- .7 cm^2    including the - sign for completeness

1. Si comprimes un globo hasta reducir su volumen a un tercio de su valor original, ¿cuánto aumenta la presión en su interior?
harina [27]

Answer:

See step by step sexplanation

Explanation:

1.-Sabemos que la relación:

P₁ * V₁  = P₂ * V₂

Para una temperatura constante debe mantenerse entonces si el globo se comprime hasta llevarlo a 1/3 de su valor inicial, entonces necesariamente para cumplir con la relación mencionada, la presión aumenta tres veces su valor original

2.-La definición de presión es fuerza por unidad de superficie, entonces la fuerza es determinada por la altura de la columna de liquido en el recipiente y no por la cantidad total de liquido, de acuerdo a esto habrá más presión en la base del florero, ya que la columna de agua tiene más altura.

3.-No se puede estar de acuerdo con el criterio del plomero. En su solución no plantea el aumento de la altura del tanque,  para el logro del aumento de la presión que es realmente lo que hay que hacer

A wheel of mass 4kg is pulled up a plane inclined at 30° to the horizontal by a force of 45N applied to the axle and parallel to
Len [333]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Let's assume the wheel does not slip as it accelerates.

Energy theory is more straightforward than kinematics in my opinion.

Work done on the wheel

W = Fd = 45(12) = 540 J

Some is converted to potential energy

PE = mgh = 4(9.8)12sin30 = 235.2 J

As there is no friction mentioned, the remainder is kinetic energy

KE = 540 - 235.2 = 304.8 J

KE = ½mv² + ½Iω²

ω = v/R

KE = ½mv² + ½I(v/R)² = ½(m + I/R²)v²

v = √(2KE / (m + I/R²))

v = √(2(304.8) / (4 + 0.5/0.5²)) = √101.6

v = 10.07968...
