The uncertainty of the heavy object if the scale remains constant is 0.24 lbs.

<h3>What is uncertainty in measurement?</h3>
  • This is the error associated in an attempt measure the object accurately.

The percent uncertainty in measuring the light weight object is calculated as follows;

= \frac{0.034}{11} \times 100\%\\\\= 0.309\%

The uncertainty of the heavy object if the scale remains constant is calculated as follows;

= \frac{0.309}{100} \times 78.0 \ lbs\\\\= 0.24 \ lbs

A typical ceiling fan running at high speed has an airflow of about 1.85 ✕ 103 ft3/min, meaning that about 1.85 ✕ 103 cubic feet
densk [106]

Answer:

0.8726  m^3/s

Explanation:

We are to convert 1.85 x 10^3 ft^3/min to m^3/s

First, let us convert the numerator from ft3 to m3

1 ft3 = 0.0283 m3

Hence,

1.85 x 10^3 ft3 = 1.85 x 10^3 x 0.0283 m3

     = 52.355 m3

Now, let us convert the denominator from minutes to seconds

1 min = 60 sec

Therefore;

1.85 x 10^3 ft^3/min = 52.355/60  m^3/s

        = 0.8726  m^3/s

An alpha particle (α), which is the same as a helium-4 nucleus, is momentarily at rest in a region of space occupied by an elect
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Speed of the alpha particle is v=1.8180\times 10^3m/sec      

Explanation:

We have given charge on alpha particle q=3.2\times 10^{-19}C

Mass of the alpha particle m=6.68\times 10^{-27}kg

Potential difference V=-3.45\times 10^{-3}volt

We have to find the speed of the alpha particle

From energy conservation we know that

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=qV

\frac{1}{2}\times 6.68\times 10^{-27}\times v^2=3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 3.45\times 10^{-3}

v=1.8180\times 10^3m/sec
