2. In a 1-D motion lab the students launch a cart along a horizontal air track and
measure the speed of the cart at various displacements from the launcher. The
following set of data indicates the speed with uncertainty for the cart to travel
through the displacement with uncertainty. In an excel spreadsheet produce a
graph of the data such that the slope of the relationship that is graphed is the
acceleration of the cart along the air track. Be sure to show your error bars on the
data in the graph and have excel calculate the standard error in both the slope and
y-intercept (use the LINEST function). Use your results to determine the
magnitude of the acceleration of the cart with uncertainty and the initial speed of
the cart with uncertainty.

- 2arrow_forwardPrescriptions for vision correction are given in units called diopters (D). Determine the meaning of that unit. Obtain information (perhaps by calling an optometrist or performing an internet search) on the minimum uncertainty with which corrections in diopters are determined and the accuracy with which corrective lenses can be produced. Discuss the sources of uncertainties in both the prescription and accuracy in the manufacture of lenses.arrow_forwardA shape that covers an area A and has a uniform height h has a volume V = Ah. (a) Show that V = Ah is dimensionally correct. (b) Show that the volumes of a cylinder and of a rectangular box can be written in the form V = Ah, identifying A in each case. (Note that A, sometimes called the footprint of the object can have any shape and that the height can, in general, be replaced by the average thickness of the object.)arrow_forward
- A Later in this book, you will study oscillating motion. Such motion is repetitive. Each complete repetition is called a cycle, and the frequency f is the number of cycles per unit time. The SI unit of frequency is s1. For a block oscillating at the end of a spring, the frequency depends on the mass m of the block, and the stiffness (spring constant) k of the spring. The dimensions of k are mass per time squared. Use dimensional analysis to find the mathematical dependence of f on k and m.arrow_forward(a) A car speedometer has a 5.0% uncertainty.

Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P4.22). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size.
