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

ithin 2.0 m at the time of the measurement, what is the uncertainty in the velocity of the car?

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%

Which statement best describes the organelles in a cell
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

(2) Organelles must work together and their

activities must be coordinated

Explanation:

Organelles are usually located in cells. They are saddled with the role of performing specific functions in the cells for the overall functioning of life. In eukaryotic cells, the organelles are membrane bounded but in prokaryotic or primitive cells such is not the case.

Examples of cell organelles are ribosome, food vacuole, nucleus e.t.c. Just like organs in the body, organelles must work together in order to enhance life.

Dalton's law of partial pressures states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures exert
Damm [24]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation:

According to the Dalton's law, total pressure of a mixture of gases that do not react with each other is equal to the partial pressure exerted by each gas.

The relationship is as follows.

          p_{total} = \sum_{i=1}^{n} p_{i}

or,        p_{total} = p_{1} + p_{2} + p_{3} + p_{4} + ......... + p_{n}

where,  p_{1}, p_{2}, p_{3} ....... = partial pressure of individual gases present in the mixture

Also, relation between partial pressure and mole fraction is as follows.

                 p_{i} = p_{total} \times x_{i}

where,      x_{i} = mole fraction

Thus, we can conclude that the statement Dalton's law of partial pressures states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures exerted independently by each gas in the mixture, is true.

How to calculate the frequency of an ion
sergij07 [2.7K]

solution:

You need to find the frequency, and they have already given you the wavelength. And since you already know the speed of light, you can use formula (2) to answer this problem. Remember to convert the nano meters to meters because the speed of light is in meters. (1 nm = 1.0 x 10^{-9} m)

v=c\lambda \\v= (3.00 \times 10^8 m/s)/(6.9\times 10^-7 m) \\v = 4.35 \times 10^{14} s^{-1}
