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 circular swimming pool has a diameter of 14 m, the sides are 4 m high, and the depth of the water is 3 m. How much work (in Jo
vredina [299]

The work required is Wa = 2954112 J

Given:

swimming pool diameter = 14 m

length of sides = 4 m

height of water = 3 m

To Find:

work required to pump water

Solution: The radius of the swimming pool is

r = 14/2 = 7 m

The work is mathematically given as

W = Force x distance

Now force is mathematically given as

F = density x area x height of pool = p*(πr²)dx

Now the work done to pump all of the water over the side

W = ∫p*(πr²)(H-x)dx = ∫1000*9.81*(π*7^2)(4-x)dx

W = 64000*9.8π∫(4-x) dx = 64000*9.8π{4(3) - 3/2}

W = 2954112 J

So, work required is Wa = 2954112 J

At room temperature what is the strength of the electric field in a 12-gauge copper wire (diameter 2.05 mm that is needed to cau
Dima020 [189]
Electric field strength = resistivity of copper x current density
where
p= 1.72 x 10^-8 <span>ohm meter
diameter = 2.05mm=.00205 m
current = 2.75 A
</span>get first the current density:
current density = current/ cross section area
find the cross section area
cross section area = pi.(d/2)^2;  
cross section = 3.3 006x10-6 m^2
substitute the values 
current density = 2.75A/3.3006x 10-6m^2
current density=35.55 x1 0^2 A/m^2
Electric field stregnth =1.72 x 10^-8 ohm meter x 35.55 x10^2 A/m^2
Electric field stregnth= 46.415 Volts/m

The electric field strength of copper is 46.415 V/m.

A diver 40 m deep in 10 degrees C fresh water exhales a 1.5 cm diameter bubble.
zzz [600]

Answer:

0.0257259766982 m

Explanation:

P_2 = Atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa

d_1 = Initial diameter = 1.5 cm

d_2 = Final diameter

\rho = Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

h = Depth = 40 m

The pressure is

P_1=P_2+\rho gh\\\Rightarrow P_1=101325+1000\times 9.81\times 40\\\Rightarrow P_1=493725\ Pa

From ideal gas law we have

\dfrac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2V_2}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{P_1\dfrac{4}{3\times8}\pi d_1^3}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2\dfrac{4}{3\times8}\pi d_2^3}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{P_1d_1^3}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2d_2^3}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow d_2=(\dfrac{P_1d_1^3T_2}{P_2T_1})^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow d_2=(\dfrac{493725\times 0.015^3\times (20+273.15)}{101325\times (10+273.15)})^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow d_2=0.0257259766982\ m

The diameter of the bubble is 0.0257259766982 m
