Your friend states in a report that the average time required to circle a 1.5-mi track was 65.414 s. This was measured by timing
1 answer:
The time per lap was calculated by measuring the time for seven laps and dividing the total time by seven.
total time
It is given that the precision is of 0.1 s. it means it is correct upto 1 place beyond decimal.
So, the actual value could vary from 457.800 s to 457.899 s i.e. the time per lap could be 65.400 s to 65.414 s
It means measured time 65.414 s has maximum error of 0.021%. Hence, the measured value is quite precise.

Answer:
The distance of the goggle from the edge is 5.30 m
Explanation:
Given:
The depth of pool (d) = 3.2 m
let 'i' be the angle of incidence
thus,
i =
i = 67.75°
Now, Using snell's law, we have,
n₁ × sin(i) = n₂ × 2 × sin(r)
where,
r is the angle of refraction
n₁ is the refractive index of medium 1 = 1 for air
n₂ is the refractive index of medium 1 = 1.33 for water
now,
1 × sin 67.75° = 1.33 × sin(r)
or
r = 44.09°
Now,
the distance of googles = 2.2 + d×tan(r) = 2.2 + (3.2 × tan(44.09°) = 5.30 m
Hence, <u>the distance of the goggle from the edge is 5.30 m</u>
