Answer:

The standard deviation is a measure of the dispersion of a series of data

Result = x_{average} ± σ

Explanation:

The standard deviation is a measure of the dispersion of a series of data, it is generally used when a series of measurements of some parameters are made and it is desired to take into account the statistical fluctuations of these measurements, its formula is

$\sigma = \sqrt { \frac{\sum (x_i -x_{average} )^2}{ N} }$

where N is the number of measurements

This is a measure equivalent to the absolute error in a single measurement.

Therefore, the number of decimal places in a result must not be greater than the standard deviation.

Result = x_{average} ± σ

Can some answer 7 a and b please

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

a.After $15$ second Mr Comer's speed $=$ $1.7 m/s$

b.Distance travelled by Mr.Comer in $15$ seconds $=$ $18.75\ m$

Explanation:

a. Lets recall our first equation of motion $V_{f} =V_{i} + at$

Now we know that $V_{i} = 0.8m/s$ , $a = 0.06\ m/s^2$ and

$t = 15 \ sec$

Plugging the values we have.

$V_{f} =V_{i} + at$

$V_{f} =0.8 + 0.06 \times 15$

$V_{f} =0.8+ 0.9$

$V_{f} =1.7 m/s$

Then Mr.Comer's speed after $15$ sec $=$ $1.7ms^-1$

Lets find the distance and recall our third equation of motion.

$V_{f} ^2-V{i}^2 = 2as$

So $s =$ distance covered.

Dividing both sides with 2a we have.

$\frac{V_{f} ^2-V{i}^2}{2a} = 2as$

Plugging the values.

$\frac{(1.7)^2-(0.8)^2}{2\times0.06} = 2as$

$s= 18.75\ m$

So Mr.Comer will travel a distance of $s= 18.75\ m$ .
