I need a short written description of Newton's three laws.

Tom [10]

Newton’s first law of motion, also called the law on inertia, states that an object continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion unless compelled to change that state by an external force.Newton’s second law of motion states that if a net force acts on an object, it will cause an acceleration of that object.Newton’s third law of motion<span> states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. hope this wasnt two long!</span>

.Find the uncertainty in a calculated electrical potential difference from the measurements of current and resistance. Electric

maw [93]

Answer:

a) The uncertainty in calculated V, ΔV = 25.3

b) The uncertainty in calculated v, Δv = 0.41 m/s

c) The uncertainty in calculated V, ΔV = 22.2 V

Explanation:

We'll use Upper-Lower Bounds method of uncertainty to estimate the uncertainties.

a) I = 5.1 A, ΔI = 0.3 A

I = (5.1 ± 0.3) A

R = 77.5 ohms, ΔR = 0.4 ohms

R = (77.5 ± 0.4) ohms

V = IR = 5.1 × 77.5 = 395.25 V

The lower bound for the voltage will be calculated using the lower bounds for the current and resistance

Iₗ = 5.1 - 0.3 = 4.8 A

Rₗ = 77.5 - 0.4 = 77.1 ohms

Vₗ = 4.8 × 77.1 = 370.08 V

The upper bound for the voltage will be calculated using the upper bounds for the current and resistance

Iᵤ = 5.1 + 0.3 = 5.4 A

Rᵤ = 77.5 + 0.4 = 77.9 ohms

Vᵤ = 5.4 × 77.9 = 420.66 V

The average of the differences from the mean voltage/true value is 25.3 V

V = 395.25 V, Δ = 25.3V

V = (395.25 ± 25.3) V

b) x = 2.9 m, Δx = 0.3 m

x = (2.9 ± 0.3) m

t = 4.4 s, Δt = 1.8 s

t = (4.4 ± 1.8) ohms

v = x/t = 2.9/4.4 = 0.659 m/s

The lower bound for average speed will be calculated using the lower bounds for distance and upper bounds for time.

xₗ = 2.9 - 0.3 = 2.6 m

tᵤ = 4.4 + 1.8 = 6.2 s

vₗ = 2.6/6.2 = 0.419 m/s

The upper bound for the average speed will be calculated using the upper bound for the distance and lower bound for time

xᵤ = 2.9 + 0.3 = 3.2 m

tₗ = 4.4 - 1.8 = 2.6 s

vᵤ = 3.2/2.6 = 1.231 m/s

The average of the differences from the mean average speed/true value is 0.41 m/s

v = 0.659 m/s, Δv = 0.41 m/s

v = (0.659 ± 0.41) m/s

c) ) I = 9.8 A, ΔI = 0.5 A

I = (9.8 ± 0.5) A

R = 40.5 ohms, ΔR = 0.2 ohms

R = (40.5 ± 0.2) ohms

V = IR = 9.8 × 40.5 = 396.9 V

The lower bound for the voltage will be calculated using the lower bounds for the current and resistance

Iₗ = 9.8 - 0.5 = 9.3 A

Rₗ = 40.5 - 0.2 = 40.3 ohms

Vₗ = 9.3 × 40.3 = 374.79 V

The upper bound for the voltage will be calculated using the upper bounds for the current and resistance

Iᵤ = 9.8 + 0.5 = 10.3 A

Rᵤ = 40.5 + 0.2 = 40.7 ohms

Vᵤ = 10.3 × 40.7 = 419.21 V

The average of the differences from the mean voltage/true value is 22.2 V

V = 396.9 V, Δ = 22.2 V

V = (396.9 ± 22.2) V

Determine the amount of potential energy of a 5.0Kg book that is moved to three different shelves on a bookcase. The height of e

rjkz [21]

Formula to find gravitational potential energy:
mgh
m: mass
g: gravitational acceleration
h: height (relative to reference level)

so the P.E. at 1.0.m is (5x9.8x1)= 49J
P.E. at 1.5m is (5x9.8x1.5) =73.5J
P.E. at 2.0m is (5x9.8x2)=98J

if a Firebird travels at a velocity of 0 to 60 mph in four seconds traveling east what was the acceleration of the Firebird

Tresset [83]

Answer:

6.7 m/s^2

Explanation:

The formula of acceleration is:

$\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{\Delta \vec{v}}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{v_2 - v_1}{t_2-t_1}}$

where $\displaystyle{\vec{a}}$ is acceleration, $\displaystyle{\vec{v}}$ is velocity and $\displaystyle{t}$ is time. $\displaystyle{v_2}$ means final velocity. $\displaystyle{v_1}$ means initial velocity, $\displaystyle{t_2}$ means final time and $\displaystyle{t_1}$ means initial time.

We are given that the Firebird travels at velocity of 0 to 60 mph in four seconds. Therefore:

Our initial velocity starts at 0 mph.
Our final velocity is at 60 mph.
Our initial time is 0 second.
Our final time is 4 seconds.

Since it travels to the east then our vector will be positive. However, acceleration has to be in m/s^2 unit (Sl unit) so we'll have to convert from mph (miles per hours) to m/s (meters per second) first.

We know that:

A mile equals to 1609.344 meters.
An hour equals to 60 minutes which a minute equals to 60 seconds. So 60 minutes will equal to 3600 seconds.

Now we divide 1609.344 by 3600 to find a unit rate of m/s:

$\displaystyle{\dfrac{1609.344}{3600} \ \, \sf{m/s}}\\\\\displaystyle{= 0.44704 \ \, \sf{m/s}}$

Now multiply 0.44704 m/s by 0 and 60 to get velocity in m/s unit:

Initial velocity = 0 m/s
Final velocity = 60 * 0.44704 = 26.82 m/s

Time is already in second so no need for conversion. Substitute known information in the formula:

$\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{26.82-0}{4-0}}\\\\\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{26.82}{4}}\\\\\displaystyle{\vec{a} = 6.7 \ \, \sf{m/s^2}}$

Therefore, the Firebird will accelerate at the rate of 6.7 m/s^2.
