    Confusion about how to work out the uncertainty in my final calculated value

    Homework Statement So basically I have plotted two variables I measured on a graph, which gives a simple linear relationship, and have found the gradient and standard error of the gradient (1.21251 and 0.03275 respectively). Now my problem is that this gradient is equal to a constant divided...

    How Does Power Affect Car Acceleration with Air Resistance?

    Homework Statement A car, of mass 720kg, moves along a straight horizontal road. The engine of the car exerts a constant power of 81kW. The car experiences a resistance to motion which has magnitude 90v N, where v ms^-1 is the speed of the car at time t s (a) Show that v satisfies the...

    Angular Diameter Eclipse Question

    Well I assume it means the diameter of the planet as you see it from your position, such that the moon appears roughly half the size of the sun when viewed from Saturn relative to the size of the sun in the sky viewed from the earth, but then this is all depends on the distance you are from the...

    Motion question that sounds too simple?

    Homework Statement A car accelerates steadily from 0 ms^-1 to 20 ms^-1 in a distance d and time t. Another car takes a time 2t to accelerate steadily from stationary to the same final velocity. What distance does the car travel during the new acceleration? Homework Equations So Speed x...

    What is the Maximum Pressure Exerted by a Block of Niobium on One of its Faces?

    Ah it's cool, I think I figured it out, I just didn't think about one thing. And I didn't realize about the template, I will ensure I follow it next time!
