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

onds, whereas the standard deviation is found to be 0.24 seconds. The standard error (or standard deviation of the mean) therefore is 0.24 seconds divided by the square root of 16, yielding 0.06 seconds. Assuming that the uncertainty of this period arises solely from random error for these 16 trials, about how many additional trials would need to be completed to reduce the standard error to 0.03 seconds? ______________

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.

Why are choir concerts better in performance halls than in gymnasiums?
dlinn [17]

Constructive interference in performance halls and the elimination of echoes are reasons why choir concerts better in performance halls than in gymnasiums.

<h3>What is constructive interference?</h3>

Constructive interference is a phenomenon which occurs when two waves travelling in same direction and which are in phase add up together to produce a wave of greater amplitude.

Constructive interference occurs in performance halls while destructive interference occurs in gymnasiums.

Also in performance halls, echoes are minimized due to the padded walls and the curtains while echoes which disturb choir concerts occur in gymnasiums.

Therefore, choir concerts better in performance halls than in gymnasiums because of constructive interference in performance halls and the elimination of echoes.
