Here we have some questions about experimental errors.

Q1) We want to see how many significant figures have the measure:

0.0009

The number of significant figures is the number of known digits that are not the leading zeros.

Here we can see four leading zeros, and a single-digit different than zero, which is a 9.

Then we have only one significant figure, the 9.

Q2) Here we will use the measure that is the less exact, as the error of that measure may be larger than the smaller significant figures of the other measures.

Then:

31.2 lb + 38.02lb + 45 lb

The worst measure is 45lb, so the smallest significant figure that we should use is the first one at the left of the decimal point, then we need to round the other two measures to the next whole number, we will get:

31 lb + 38 lb + 45 lb = 114lbs

Q3) We know that the measure is 11.5 seconds and the uncertainty of 1.7%, then the uncertainty will be the 1.7% of the above measure:

(1.7%/100%)*11.5 s = 0.1955 s

Notice that our measure has one significant figure after the decimal point, so we need to round the error to the same significant figure.

0.1955 s ≈ 0.2s

Then the measure is:

11.5 s ± 0.20 s

Q4) We have the measure:

312.0 mph ± 3.9 mph.

The percent uncertainty will be the quotient between the error and the measure times 100%, or:

(3.9 mph/312.0 mph)*100%  = 1.25%

This is a percent error, we do not need to round this.

Which of the following is not possible? A. Gas flow equals pressure gradient over resistance. B. Resistance equals pressure grad
kaheart [24]

Answer:

C. Pressure gradient equals gas flow over resistance.

Explanation:

As we know that pressure gradient is the driving force for the gas to flow from one point to other point

And we know that the flow rate is directly proportional to the driving force and it inversely depends on the resistance to flow

so we can say

Flow Rate = \frac{Driving \: force}{Resistance}

Flow Rate = \frac{Pressure \: Gradient}{Resistance}

so we can say that correct statements are as below

A. Gas flow equals pressure gradient over resistance.

B. Resistance equals pressure gradient over gas flow.

D. The amount of gas flowing in and out of the alveoli is directly proportional to the difference in pressure or pressure gradient between the external atmosphere and the alveoli.

Explain why engineers leave a gap in a concrete bridge (answer must relate to density)
seraphim [82]
<span>Different materials expand and contract at different rates based on temperature. Just like if you leave a plastic bottle full of water in a freezer it will burst, but if you leave it partially full no problem.....Ok?Expansion joints do the same for bridges. There is a gap to allow for temperature related expansions and contractions. Sometimes you drive over bridges and roadways where this movement is constricted and you might notice a bumpy ride. Engineers can predict the variation of structural length based on span lengths and leave the necessary gaps.....btw, NICE QUESTION:)</span>
