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 = Ax2, to match the physical hypothesis, y = 1/2*g*t2. From the best-fit curve, you are told that the value of your fit-parameter, A, is 4.6 m/s2 ± 0.4 m/s2. Determine the value of g ± dg for this fit-parameter value.

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
This was wrong. Can you solve this again with these numbers? What is the root mean square velocity, vrms, for Hydrogen molecules (H2) at 20oC? Hint: How many amu does an H2 molecule contain. 1 amu = 1.67 x 10-27 kg Boltzman's Constant, k = 1.38 x 10-23 J/K Give your answer in m/s to 4 significant figures (NO DECIMALS)
You get lost and stop at a gas station to ask for directions. The attendant tells you that your destination is "about 1 mile down the road". You drive to your destination, but you notice that, according to your trip odometer, you have driven 1.9 miles. What was the % error in the attendant's distance estimate? ( Note: We will temporarily ignore the sign for error calculations. The correct answer for each calculation is an integerbetween 0 and 100, inclusive. Do NOT enter the percent sign (%) or a minus sign (-). )
A student measured the side length of a cube and found it to be 1 = (3.3 + 0.1) cm. The volume (V = 1³) of the cube with its error is (V + U(V)) (Please show me the calculations in details) a) 35.9 ± 0.3 cm³ b) 35.9 +3.3 cm³ c) 35.9 +0.3 m³ d) 35.9 +3.3 m³
I don't understand this. why365.0g is significant figures? I think its effective number is 3, and why 362mL has 3 effective numbers. Isn't 362.0mL and 362mL the same thing?

A rectangular box with mass 16.5 g is said to have dimensions of 2.8 cm x 1.7 cm * 0.4 cm . Calculate the density of this rectangular box, in g/cm^ 3 . The volume of a rectangular box is length times width times depth (I^ * W^ * d) .
a) You wish to compare the two experimental results the physicist got, so you decide to find the percent difference between these two values using the standard equation you learned in physics class: Substitute the following values for E1 and E2 and calculate the percent difference using the formula given below: E1 9.96 m/s2 E2 9.72 m/s2 Percent differnce___
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?
