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 1425 kg truck driving at 13.0 m/s collides elastically with a stationary 1175 kg car. If the car is traveling 14.25 m/s just a
TEA [102]

Answer:

1.25 m/s

Explanation:

m1v1+m2v2=m1v1f+m2v2f

(1425*13)+(1175*0)=(1425*v1f)+(1175*14.25)

18525+0=1425(v1f)+16743.75

1781.25=1425(v1f)

v1f=1.25 m/s

A car is driving at 50 kilometers per hour. how far, in meters, does it travel in 2 seconds?
AveGali [126]
<span>Sure, Just change the 2 sec. into hrs. Since 1 hour = 3600 sec. then you can divide 2/3600 = 1/1800 hrs. Distance in kilometers = (Speed in km/hr * time in hrs) = 50*(1/1800)*1000 in meters = 27.77 meters</span>

4. How long will it take a car travelling with a speed of 160 km hr to cover a distance of 700 meters? Hint: km/hr should be con
Inessa [10]

Answer:

15.8 seconds

Explanation:

Create an extended calculation to convert all the unit to what you need.

160 km      1000 m       1 hour         1 min

----------- x ------------- x -------------- x ----------   =  44.4 m/s

1 hour            1 km         60 min      60 sec

So 160km/hr is equal to 44.4m/s

Now you can figure out how many seconds it will take to go 700 meters.

44.4 m          

----------   X     x sec   =  700 m

1  sec

Solve for x sec

x sec = 700m / 44.4 m/s

         =  15.8 seconds
