The mean may be calculated by summing the values of the refractive index and dividing the sum by the number of experiments. This is:
Mean = (1.45 + 1.56 + 1.54 + 1.44 + 1.54 + 1.53)/6
Mean = 1.51
The mean absolute error is the sum of the absolute values of errors divided by the number of trials:
MAE = (|1.45-1.51|+|1.56-1.51|+|1.54-1.51|+|1.44-1.51|+|1.54-1.51|+|1.53-1.51|)/6
MAE = 0.043
The fractional error is the MAE divided by the actual value:
Fractional error = 0.043 / 1.51
Fractional error = 43/1510
The percentage error is the fractional error multiplied by 100:
Percentage error = 2.85%
Kinetic energy is the energy that is associated with motion. It is the energy possessed by an object that is moving. It is calculated from one-half the product of the mass and the square of the velocity of the object. From this, we can calculate the mass of the object. We do as follows:
KE = mv^2/2
500 J = m(5 m/s)^2 / 2
m = 40 kg
Answer:
frictional force causes an object to slow down
