When you measure the distance between a series of spark marks to be 8.5 cm, a safe estimation of the uncertainty in this number due to the precision of the ruler is +/-0.1 cm (both due to the cheap construction of the measuring tool and due to reading errors).

as discussed in previous labs, uncertainties are propagated through calculations. let us assume that this measurement of 8.5 cm, with the corresponding uncertainty, corresponds to a trail of 13 spark marks, or 12 time intervals of 1/60 s.

the speed is thus:

8.5 cm / (12/60 s) = 42.5 cm/s

for simplicity, we will assume that the rate of spark production is very precise (i. e., the uncertainty associated with the time intervals being 1/60 s introduces a negligible contribution to the total error). but the uncertainty associated with the use of a cheap plastic ruler should still be accounted

what is the uncertainty in the speed above, in cm/s?

Apoint charge +q is at the origin. a spherical gaussian surface centered at the origin encloses +q. so does a cubical surface centered at the origin and with edges parallel to the axes. select "true" or "false" for each statement below. the electric flux through the spherical surface is greater than that through the cubical surface. suppose (for this statement only), that q is moved from the origin but is still within both the surfaces. the flux through both surfaces remains unchanged. the area vector and the e-field vector point in the same direction for all points on the spherical surface. the e-field at all points on the spherical surface is equal due to spherical symmetry. the flux through the spherical gaussian surface is independent of its radius.
