Answer:
a) x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in
, b) the number of decks is 5
Explanation:
a) The thickness of the deck of cards (d) is measured and the thickness of a card (x) is calculated
x = d / 52
x = 0.590 / 52
x = 0.011346 in
Let's look for uncertainty
Δx = dx /dd Δd
Δx = 1/52 Δd
Δx = 1/52 0.005
Δx = 0.0001 in
The result of the calculation is
x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in
b) You want to reduce the error to Δx = 0.00002, the number of cards to be measured is
#_cards = n 52
The formula for thickness is
x = d / n 52
Uncertainty
Δx = 1 / n 52 Δd
n = 1/52 Δd / Δx
n = 1/52 0.005 / 0.00002
n = 4.8
Since the number of decks must be an integer the number of decks is 5

Answer:
Reflected ray. A ray of light or other form of radiant energy which is thrown back from a nonpermeable or nonabsorbing surface; the ray which strikes the surface before reflection is the incident ray.
Answer:
5 ohms
Explanation:
Given:
EMF of the ideal battery (E) = 60 V
Voltage across the terminals of the battery (V) = 40 V
Current across the terminals (I) = 4 A
Let the internal resistance be 'r'.
Now, we know that, the voltage drop in the battery is given as:
Therefore, the voltage across the terminals of the battery is given as:
Now, rewriting in terms of 'r', we get:
Plug in the given values and solve for 'r'. This gives,
Therefore, the internal resistance of the battery is 5 ohms.
