A student uses a stopwatch to measure the period of the pendulum of the Beverly clock in the corridor. His measurements are: (a)

Westkost [7]

Answer:

Reading is close to (b) 13.44 which is the best estimate of the period

Associated error, $\Delta E =0.178 s$

Given:

$t_{a} = 13.54 s$

$t_{b} = 13.44 s$

$t_{c} = 13.89 s$

$t_{d} = 13.41 s$

$t_{e} = 13.17 s$

$t_{f} = 13.22 s$

Solution:

1.The best estimate of the period can be calculated by the mean of the measurements and the one closest to the mean is the best estimate of the measurement:

$Mean, \bar {x} = \fra{sum of all observations}{No. of observation}$

$Mean, \bar {x} = \frac{t_{a} + t_{b} + t_{c} +t_{d} + t_{e} + t_{f}}{6}$

$Mean, \bar {x} = \frac{13.54 + 13.44 + 13.89 + 13.41 + 13.17 + 13.22}{6}$

$Mean, \bar {x} = 13.445 s$

It is close to 13.44 s

2. Associated error is given by:

$\Delta E_{n} = |measured value - actual value|$

$\Delta E_{n} = |t_{n} - \bar {x}|$

where

n = a, b,......, e

Now,

$\Delta E_{a} = |t_{a} - \bar {x}| = |13.54 - 13.44| = 0.01$

$\Delta E_{b} = |t_{b} - \bar {x}| = |13.44 - 13.44| = 0.00$

$\Delta E_{c} = |t_{c} - \bar {x}| = |13.89 - 13.44| = 0.45$

$\Delta E_{d} = |t_{d} - \bar {x}| = |13.41 - 13.44| = 0.03$

$\Delta E_{e} = |t_{e} - \bar {x}| = |13.17 - 13.44| = 0.027$

$\Delta E_{f} = |t_{f} - \bar {x}| = |13.54 - 13.44| = 0.10$

Mean Absolute Error, $\Delta E = \frac{\Sigma E_{n}}{6}$

$\Delta E = \frac{0.01 + 0.00 + 0.45 + 0.03 +0.027 + 1.10}{6}$

$\Delta E =0.178 s$

3. The assumption behind the estimation is population is considered to distributed normally.

Why are the temperatures on each of the other terrestrial planets more extreme than earth?

netineya [11]

Other terrestrial planets have more extreme temperatures mainly because of their atmospheres
Explanation:
for example the atmosphere of Venus is composed mainly of carbon dioxide, this carbon dioxide traps the heat or energy from the sun and makes the planet have higher temperatures. where on mars the atmosphere is very thin so it takes in lots of heat and doesn't keep it in very well so it gets very hot and very cold
