Explanation:
Check out the picture I drew for a minute before reading this...
B. Distance [the red line] is a scalar quantity reflecting how far an object has traveled. Displacement [the green line] is a vector quantity reflecting how far an object has moved from a point. The key difference is that distance can be any sort of path while displacement is always a vector (or a straight line) between a starting point and a finishing point. Sometimes distance and displacement are equal to one another. Sometimes you have a distance traveled, but zero displacement overall; which is what's going on in your question.
A. The distance that the racecar traveled is indeed 500m. But at the end of the lap, it is right back where it started. So overall, it has been displaced 0m.
R is proportional to the length of the wire:
R ∝ length
R is also proportional to the inverse square of the diameter:
R ∝ 1/diameter²
The resistance of a wire 2700ft long with a diameter of 0.26in is 9850Ω. Now let's change the shape of the wire, adding and subtracting material as we go along, such that the wire is now 2800ft and has a diameter of 0.1in.
Calculate the scale factor due to the changed length:
k₁ = 2800/2700 = 1.037
Scale factor due to changed diameter:
k₂ = 1/(0.1/0.26)² = 6.76
Multiply the original resistance by these factors to get the new resistance:
R = R₀k₁k₂
R₀ = 9850Ω, k₁ = 1.037, k₂ = 6.76
R = 9850(1.037)(6.76)
R = 69049.682Ω
Round to the nearest hundredth:
R = 69049.68Ω
there here is your answer to your question
Uncertainty in measurements and calculations means difference between actual and measured data. We can say that all measurements have some degree of uncertainty. ... Systematic error (because of error in measuring instrument) 2. Random error (human errors such as- delay in starting, delay in stopping).
