Q 1 . How many significant figures are in the following measurement? 0.0009(1 point)

Physics

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.

A tuning fork with a frequency of 512 Hz is used to tune a violin. When played together, beats are heard with a frequency of 4 H
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

<em> 508Hz</em>

Explanation:

A tuning fork with a frequency of 512 Hz is used to tune a violin. When played together, beats are heard with a frequency of 4 Hz. The string on the violin is tightened and when played again, the beats have a frequency of 2 Hz. The original frequency of the violin was ______.

When two sound waves of different frequency approach your ear, the alternating constructive and destructive interference causes the sound to be alternatively soft and loud - this phenomenon is beat production

frequency is the number of oscillation a wave makes in one seconds.

f1-f2=beats

therefore f1=512Hz

f2=?

beats=4Hz

512Hz-f2=4Hz

f2=512-4

f2=508Hz

the original frequency of the violin is 508Hz
