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

lue should record according to the lab manual for this type of measurement with under 10 items. (Note: remove 2 of 6 outliers, then use the remaining 4 data points; reason standard deviations is within 67% and 67% of 6 data points is 4).

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.

A rectangular loop of area A is placed in a region where the magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of the loop. The magni
mina [271]

Answer:

Induced emf, \epsilon=-A\dfrac{B_{max}e^{-t/\tau}}{\tau}

Explanation:

The varying magnetic field with time t is given by according to equation as :

B=B_{max}e^{-t/\tau}

Where

B_{max}\ and\ t are constant

Let \epsilon is the emf induced in the loop as a function of time. We know that the rate of change of magnetic flux is equal to the induced emf as:

\epsilon=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}

\epsilon=-\dfrac{d(BA)}{dt}

\epsilon=-A\dfrac{d(B)}{dt}

\epsilon=-A\dfrac{d(B_{max}e^{-t/\tau})}{dt}

\epsilon=A\dfrac{B_{max}e^{-t/\tau}}{\tau}

So, the induced emf in the loop as a function of time is A\dfrac{B_{max}e^{-t/\tau}}{\tau}. Hence, this is the required solution.

In 1.71 minutes, a ski lift raises four skiers at constant speed to a height of 148 m. The average mass of each skier is 62.9 kg
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

3560.36 Watts

Explanation:

Power, P=\frac {nΔW}{Δt) where P is power, n is the number of skiers, t is time in seconds and Δt is change in time, ΔW is given by mgh where m is mass, g is gravitational constant, h is height

Substituting n for 4 skiers, m for 62.9 Kg, g for 9.81, h for 148 m and t for 1.71*60=102.6 seconds

P=\frac {4*62.9*9.81*148}{1.71*60}=3560.360702  Watts

Average power is approximately 3560.36 Watts
