A river flows due east with a speed of 3.00 m/s relative to earth. The river is 80.0 m wide. A woman starts at the southern bank

and steers a motorboat across the river; her velocity relative to the water is 5.00 m/s due north. How far east of her starting point will she reach the opposite bank?

Answer:

48 m

Explanation:

As she travels at the rate of 5m/s due north, the amount of time it would take for her to cross the 80m wide river would be

t = 80 / 5 = 16 seconds

This is also the time it takes for the river to push her to the east side at the rate of 3m/s. So after 16 seconds, she would reach the opposite point at a horizontal distance from her starting of

s = 16*3 = 48 m

The period of a pendulum is measured 16 times. The average value of the period over these 16 trials is calculated to be 1.50 sec
marin [14]

Answer:

The additional trials needed is 48 trials

Explanation:

Given;

initial number of trials, n = 16 trials

the standard deviation, σ = 0.24 s

initial standard error, ε = 0.06 s

The standard error is given by;

\epsilon = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }

To reduce the standard error to 0.03 s, let the additional number of trials = x

0.03= \frac{0.24}{\sqrt{n+x} } \\\\0.03= \frac{0.24}{\sqrt{16+x} }\\\\0.03\sqrt{16+x} = 0.24\\\\\sqrt{16+x} = \frac{0.24}{0.03} \\\\\sqrt{16+x} = 8\\\\16+x = 8^2\\\\16+x = 64\\\\x = 64 -16\\\\x = 48 \ trials

Therefore, the additional trials needed is 48 trials.
