While running around the track at school, Milt notices that he runs due East in the 100m homestretch and due West on the 100m ba

ckstretch. To train for the 800 m event, he runs both the 100 m homestretch and the 100m backstretch in 12.2 seconds. How do Mills velocities on the homestretch and backstretch compare

Answer:

The magnitude of both velocities will be same but direction will be opposite.

Explanation:

Distance on Homestretch = d1 = 100 m

Distance on backstretch = d2 = 100 m

Time = t = 12.2 s

Magnitude of velocity on Homestretch = V1 = d1/t = 100/12.2 = 8.196 m/s

Magnitude of velocity on backstretch = V2 = d2/t = 100/12.2 = 8.196 m/s  

if we look at the racecourse, we will come to know that runner runs on homestretch and backstretch in opposite direction. Hence, magnitude of velocities will be same but direction will be opposite.

You repeated a measurement 6 times and recorded the time using a stop watch: 5.8s, 4.6s, 4.8s, 5.1s, 4.3s, 4.6s. What average va
iVinArrow [24]

Answer and Explanation

Arranging the measured values in increasing order;

4.3s, 4.6s, 4.6s, 4.8s, 5.1s, 5.8s

The two outliers are obviously 4.3s and 5.8s; An outlier is a value in a statistical sample which does not fit a pattern that describes most other data point. Outliers make the average value complicated. So, it is usually better for data to be precise with data points spreading out around a small area.

So, the mean is the average of the four remaining data points after removing the outliers.

Mean = (4.6 + 4.6 + 4.8 + 5.1)/4

Mean = 4.775s

So, the value recorded should be 4.775s, 4.78s or 4.8s depending on the number of decimal places allowed.

We measure the loudness of sound in decibels.<br> a. True<br> b. False
Tatiana [17]

Answer: The correct answer is True.

Explanation:

Loudness of sound is referred to how soft or loud a sound is for the listener.

This term is measured in a unit known as decibels referred to as dB.

This unit is used to measure the relative intensity of sounds on a scale from zero to 100 dB.

More the value of decibels, it will be uncomfortable for a person to hear that sound.

So Yes, the loudness of sound is measured in decibels.
