Suppose you collected a data set in which you measured fall-times for different fall-heights. You plotted the data and fit the mathematical model, y = Ax?, to match the physical hypothesis, y = 1/2*g*t². From the best-fit curve, the value of your fit-parameter, A, is 4.6 m/s² ± 0.4 m/s?. Determine the value of g ± &g for this fit-parameter value.

The radius of circle has been measured as r = (4.19 ± 0.3) cm. Calculate the uncertainty δA (in cm²) of its area (A = πr²). Enter the number only, without unit.
surface, denoted by “g”. In this imaginary experiment, you have measured g three times. The values you obtain are: g1 = 10.2 meters per second squared (m/s2) g2 = 10.4 m/s2 g3 = 10.0 m/s2 To find the Average Value of g, denoted by gav, simple add up the experimental values and divide by the number of experimental values you have: g1 + g2 + g3 10.2 + 10.4 + 10 gav = __________ = ____________ = 10.2 m/s2 . 3 3 Percent Error (PE) To find the Percent Error (PE), you compare the average experimental value to the standard or handbook value of the physical quantity you are measuring. The Standard Value of gravitational acceleration at Earth’s surface , gst, is 9.8 m/s2. Mathematically, PE is defined as: (Average - Standard)…
A high tech company uses a satellite to measure the size of features on the surface of the earth. They use this technology to measure a particular rectangular field and find it's length to be 444 ± 1.8 in meters and it's width to be 198 ± 1.63 in meters. They plan to report the perimeter (sum of two lengths and two widths) of the field as P± SP in units of yards. (1 meter = 1.094 yards) What is SP?
Can you please explain how to solve the uncertainty for this problem. I previously asked the same question but the answer for the uncertainty i was given is wrong +/- 0.00559

Explain the solution on how to solve this step by step ? Given: 15000ft/s 1200 miles v² sin(20) R = here R = 1200 mile = 1200 × 5280 = 6336000 ft g = 32.2 ft/s? so put the values in the equation %3D (15000)² sin(20) 32.2 6336000 = sin (20) = 6336000x32.2 (15000)? 20 = sin- (0. 9067) 65.06 0 = = 32. 53 = 0 = 32. 53° so now the flight time 2 vsin(0) 2x15000 sin(32.53) T 32.2 T = 501 sec %3D

In measuring the external surface of a building, the builder uses SI units and the contractor only reads English units. At the end of the work, the contractor receives a document in which he says that the surface of the property is 18887 m2, so he asks that they make the conversion to units that he can understand, for example yards2. If it is known that 1 m 1. 0936 yards, what was the measurement that the contractor finally received? a) 22588.1147 Yards b) 20654.8232 Yards? C) 17270.4828 Yards d) 15792.3215 Yards?
