Consider a 1260-kg automobile clocked by law-enforcement radar at a speed of 85.5 km/h. If the position of the car is known to w

The expected speed is v = 85.5 km/h
 v = 85.5 km/h = (85.5 km/h)*(0.2778 (m/s)/(km/h)) = 23.75 m/s

If there is an uncertainty of 2 meters in measuring the position, then within a 1-second time interval:
The lower measurement for the speed is v₁ = 21.75 m/s,
The upper measurement for the speed is v₂ = 25.75 m/s.
The range of variation is
Δv = v₂ - v₁ = 4 m/s

The uncertainty in measuring the speed is
Δv/v = 4/23.75 = 0.1684 = 16.84%

Answer: 16.8%

Of the choices below, which is true for the relationship shown? It is Ka for the acid H3P2O72−. It is Kb for the acid H3P2O72−.
Naily [24]
The expression for the Ka for the given acid is:

Ka = [H2P2O7^2-] [H3O+] /[H3P2O7^2-]

<span>Ka is the acid dissociation constant or the acidity constant. It is a measure of the acid strength when in solution. It is an equilibrium constant for the dissociation of the acid.</span>
