PHYSICS 1 FAP0015 Questions & Answers to Physics I Assignments Chapter 1 11. What‚ roughly‚ is the percent uncertainty in the volume of a spherical beach ball whose radius is r = 2.86 ± 0.09 m? Answer: To find the approximate uncertainty in the volume‚ calculate the volume for the specified radius‚ the minimum radius‚ and the maximum radius. Subtract the extreme volumes. The uncertainty in the volume is then half this variation in volume. 3 Vspecified = 4 π rspecified = 4 π ( 2.86 m ) = 9

Objectives (1) To measure the velocity and acceleration of a trolley as it descends on inclined track and is stopped by a nonlinear elastic arrester system. (2) To compare the measured acceleration‚ velocity and displacement with theoretical

chain lift method consists of chain dogs (hooks) that hook onto a long length of chain or chains that are used to lift the coaster to its highest peak. As the coaster goes up the lift hill‚ it is building potential energy that will be turned into kinetic energy on the way back down. Another method of launch is the catapult launch that builds up an abundance of potential energy without using a lift hill to build potential energy. There are many types of catapult launches. An example of a catapult launch

supplementary retardation equipment in addition to the regular friction brakes on heavy vehicles. We outline the general principles of regular brakes and several alternative retardation techniques in this section. The working principle and characteristics of electromagnetic brakes are then highlighted. 2.2. General Principle of Brake System The principle of braking in road vehicles involves the conversion of kinetic energy into thermal energy (heat). When stepping on the

SEMINAR REPORT ON [pic] SUBMITTED BY: - [pic] Stopping safely is one of the most important functions a motor vehicle has to perform. Failure of the brake system will almost invariably result in property damage‚ personal injury‚ or even death. Consequently‚ a great deal of consideration has been given to improving the brake system in trucks and passenger cars over the last nine decades. One of the latest improvements is an antilock brake

1 Introduction ANSWERS TO MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS 1. Using a calculator to multiply the length by the width gives a raw answer of 6783 m 2 ‚ but this answer must be rounded to contain the same number of significant figures as the least accurate factor in the product. The least accurate factor is the length‚ which contains either 2 or 3 significant figures‚ depending on whether the trailing zero is significant or is being used only to locate the decimal point. Assuming the length contains 3 significant

(e.g.) Fluid in a reservoir (or) in a settling chamber. 5. Distinguish between static and stagnation pressures. In stagnation pressure state‚ the velocity of the flowing fluid is zero whereas in the static pressure state‚ the fluid velocity is not equal to zero. 6. Differentiate between the static and stagnation temperatures. The actual temperature of the fluid in a particular state is known as “static temperature” whereas the temperature of the fluid when the fluid velocity is zero
