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.
QED!
Newton's law of universal gravitation states that a particle attracts every other particle in the universe using a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers
Is the velocity constant? Is there any friction?
3 meters per second
then after 40 seconds it must 3*40 = 120 meters
120 meters or 0.12 km if you will
Answer:
the velocity of the boats after the collision is 4.36 m/s.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of fish, m₁ = 800 kg
mass of boat, m₂ = 1400 kg
initial velocity of the fish, u₁ = 12 m/s
initial velocity of the boat, u₂ = 0
let the final velocity of the fish-boat after collision = v
Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for inelastic collision;
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)
800 x 12 + 1400 x 0 = v(800 + 1400)
9600 = 2200v
v = 9600/2200
v = 4.36 m/s
Therefore, the velocity of the boats after the collision is 4.36 m/s.
