How can you reduce the percentage uncertainty in measurements that you make?​

Physics
1 answer:
Furkat [3]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

For example, one method for estimating the length of time it takes something to occur is to time it once using a stopwatch. You can reduce the uncertainty in this estimate by repeating the measurement and taking the average.

There are a lot of way to reduce the uncertainty however with real life sciences like quantum mechanics it will reveal more about the world and life if we have better measuring tools. Being precise is essential to understanding many parts of life.

Hope this helped! Have a great day!!!

A pillow with mass of 0.3 kg sits on a bed with a coefficient of static friction of 0.6. What is the maximum force of static fri
lys-0071 [83]
The maximum force of static friction is the product of normal force (P) and the coefficient of static friction (c). In a flat surface, normal force is equal to the weight (W) of the body. 
 
                        P = W = mass x acceleration due to gravity
    
                    P = (0.3 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 2.94 kg m/s² = 2.94 N

Solving for the static friction force (F), 
                                              F = P x c 
 
                                      F = (2.94 N) x 0.6 = 1.794 N

Therefore, the maximum force of static friction is 1.794 N.

What happens in a tug of war if the net forces are balanced and why?
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Balanced forces are responsible for unchanging motion. Balanced forces are forces where the effect of one force is cancelled out by another. A tug of war, where each team is pulling equally on the rope, is an example of balanced forces. The forces exerted on the rope are equal in size and opposite in direction.

# A cheetah can start from rest and attain the velocity 72km/h in 2 seconds. Calculate the acceleration of cheetah
yan [13]

Answer:

<h2>10 \: m/s ^2</h2><h2 />

Explanation:

Solution,

When a certain object comes in motion from rest, in the case, initial velocity = 0 m/s

Initial velocity ( u ) = 0 m/s

Final velocity ( v ) = 72 km/h ( Given)

We have to convert 72 km /h in m/s

72 \: km \: per \: hour

= 72 \times  \frac{1000}{60  \times 60}

= 20 m/s

Final velocity ( v ) = 20 m/s

Time taken ( t ) = 2 seconds

Acceleration (a) = ?

Now,

we have,

a =  \frac{v - u}{t}

a =  \frac{20 - 0}{2}

a =  \frac{20}{2}

a = 10 m/s ^2

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

A lamp is 10% efficient.How much electrical energy must be supplied to the lamp each second if it produces 20 J of light energy
k0ka [10]

If it produces 20J of light energy in a second, then that 20J is the 10% of the supply that becomes useful output.

20 J/s = 10% of Supply

20 J/s = (0.1) x (Supply)

Divide each side by 0.1:

Supply = (20 J/s) / (0.1)

<em>Supply = 200 J/s  </em>(200 watts)

========================

Here's something to think about:  What could you do to make the lamp more efficient ?  Answer:  Use it for a heater !

If you use it for a heater, then the HEAT is the 'useful' part, and the light is the part that you really don't care about.  Suddenly ... bada-boom ... the lamp is 90% efficient !

Today chemistry is based on the law ofwhat is the matter ​
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

One scientific law that provides the foundation for understanding in chemistry is the law of conservation of matter. It states that in any given system that is closed to the transfer of matter (in and out), the amount of matter in the system stays constant.
