Question 24 A car speeds past a police car parked on the side of the road. The police officer stops the car, and starts to write the driver a ticket for speeding. The driver said that they were only going 48 km/h in the 50 km/h zone. But the officer's radar gun recorded the car going 53 km/h. The radar gun has an uncertainty of 2 km/h. Which of the following statements is correct: ) It can not be determined if the car was indeed speeding since the range for the speed of the car is between 46 km/h and 55 km/h. There is not enough information given to answer this question. The car was not speeding and was going between 47.8 km/h and 48.2 km/h. The car was indeed speeding and was going between 52.8 km/h and 53.2 km/h. The car was not speeding and was going between 46 km/h and 50 km/h. The car was indeed speeding, and was going between 51 km/h and 55 km/h.

Two piles of sand are combined to make a larger pile. The mass of the first pile of sand is 30 kg ± 0.01 kg and the mass of the second pile is 34 kg ± 0.01 kg. Calculate the mass of the combined pile and the associated uncertainty in this mass, to 2 s.f.
Each measurement we take has a level of uncertainty in it. The smaller the uncertainty, the larger the precision our measurement has. Let's revisit how one might go about estimating the uncertainty in a measurement. If we assume our instrument is properly calibrated and we are not introducing systematic error through improper techniques, then if we take enough measurements, the average of these measurements will be around the true value. The upper and lower bounds of these measurements would then give us one method for determining our measuring device's uncertainty. (This of course is only true for a large set of measurements, but the approximation is good enough for now to get us started). For example, say we perform last week's experiment of pulling a block at a constant velocity with a force sensor across another rough surface. We take the following five measurements: F, = {2.51 N, 2.53 N, 2.50 N, 2.54 N, 2.49 N} The average of this dataset is F, = 2.51 N Now we have the choice of…
Preliminary Basic Calculations: The speed of sound is fast, but clearly not as great as the speed of light. There is a common observation that you can tell how far away a bolt of lighting is by counting the time in seconds between the flash (which arrives almost instantaneously) and the thunder. Each second of delay means the strike is 1/5 of a mile away. This implies that sound travels about 1/5 mile/sec or (5280/5) ft/sec≈ 1000 ft/sec.

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 student is examining a bacterium under the microscope. The E. coli bacterial cell has a mass of m = 0.300 fg (where a femtogram, fg, is 10−15g) and is swimming at a velocity of v = 9.00 μm/s , with an uncertainty in the velocity of 6.00 % . E. coli bacterial cells are around 1 μm ( 10−6 m) in length. The student is supposed to observe the bacterium and make a drawing. However, the student, having just learned about the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in physics class, complains that she cannot make the drawing. She claims that the uncertainty of the bacterium's position is greater than the microscope's viewing field, and the bacterium is thus impossible to locate. What is the uncertainty of the position of the bacterium? Express your answer with the appropriate units (m).
