A ball falls freely from rest with an acceleration g. The variation with time t of its displacement s is given by s=1/2gt2 . The percentage uncertainty in the value of t is ±3% and that in the value of g is ±2%. What is the percentage uncertainty in the value of s.

When using two-wire cable to feed a 240-v appliance that does not require a neutral wire, you should a. mark both ends of the white wire green. b. use the cable as is. c. use only the black wire. d. mark both ends and any exposed area of the white wire black.

Acar of mass m goes around a banked curve of radius r with speed v. if the road is frictionless due to ice, the car can still negotiate the curve if the horizontal component of the normal force on the car from the road is equal in magnitude to 101) a) mv2/r b) mg/2. d) mg e) tan[v2/(eg)]

Very large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. one model used to gauge the likelihood of injury is the severity index ( ), defined as =/ . in the expression, is the duration of the accleration, but is not equal to the acceleration. rather, is a dimensionless constant that = the number of multiples of that the acceleration is equal to. in one set of studies of rear-end collisions, a person's velocity increases by 13.7 km/h with an acceleration of 36.0 m/s2 . let the + direction point in the direction the car is traveling. what is the severity index for the collision?
