I'm having a hard time finding this equation: calculate the absolute uncertainty in the linear mass density ??

Solutions

Expert Solution

Consider a long, thin rod of mass and length . To calculate the average linear mass density, , of this one dimensional object, we can simply divide the total mass, , by the total length, :

If we describe the rod as having a varying mass (one that varies as a function of position along the length of the rod, ), we can write:

Each infinitesimal unit of mass, , is equal to the product of its linear mass density, , and the infinitesimal unit of length, :

The linear mass density can then be understood as the derivative of the mass function with respect to the one dimension of the rod (the position along its length, ).

The SI unit of linear mass density is the kilogram per meter (kg/m).

Question regarding moles: So I'm having a hard time understanding the relationship between moles, molar mass, atomic/molecular mass, and unified atomic mass units. Is molar mass and atomic/molecular mass the same thing? It seems like atomic/molecular mass is the sum of all the atomic masses in a substance. The units for atomic/molecular mass is unified atomic units and the units for molar mass is g/moles, so it seems like some type of conversion is happening. A Helium atom has an...

I'm tasked with finding the characteristic equation, eigenvalues, and bases for the eigenspaces of this matrix [1, -3, 3] [3,-5,3] [6,-6,4] After working on the problem, I believe the characteristic equation is (λ + 2)^2(λ-4), giving eigenvalues of -2 and 4 (please correct me if I'm wrong). However, I'm lost when finding the bases for the eigenspace because I'm not sure the eigenvectors I get are linearly independent.

Having a really hard time with this question! To fit a contact lens to a patient's eye, a keratometer can be used to measure the curvature of the cornea-the front surface of the eye. This instrument places an illuminated object of known size at a known distance p from the cornea, which then reflects some light from the object, forming an image of it. The magnification M of the image is measured by using a small viewing telescope that allows...
