Question 1 5/5pts From HW #1 Problem #1 You have a set of calipers that can measure thicknesses of a few inches with an uncertainty of .... If you now calculate the thickness of 1 card, what is your answer for the “best estimate” (the calculated number that doesn't include the uncertainty)? Provide your answer in units of in. 0.0114 - Question 2 0/5pts From HW #1 Problem #1 You have a set of calipers that can measure thicknesses of a few inches with an uncertainty of .... If you now calculate the thickness of 1 card, what is the uncertainty of the answer calculated above (what is the number that comes after the +) Provide the answer in units of 10*-5 inches. So, your calculation will be in the format of y * 107-5 and the answer I'm looking for is the y. 0.0001 - Question 3 0/5pts - From HW #1 Problem #1 You have a set of calipers that can measure thicknesses of a few inches with an uncertainty of .... You can improve this result by measuring several decks together. If you want to know the thickness of 1 card with an uncertainty of only 0.00002 in., how many decks do you need to measure together? Provide the answer in whole decks (no decimal). 3 Question 4 0/7pts - . From HW #1 Problem #2 In an experiment on the conservation of angular momentum, a student needs to find the angular momentum L of a uniform disk of mass M and radius R as it rotates with angular velocity w. She makes the following measurements .... What is her answer for the "best guess” of L? Provide the answer in units of kg-m* A (You can consider the three original uncertainties to be independent.)
