Record the point at which you caught the ruler, to the nearest cm. Measure from the bottom of your thumb. You can use this table to convert the measurement on the ruler into your reaction time in seconds. The less time it takes you to catch the ruler, the faster your reaction.

What you need to do:

Sit or stand with your arm stretched out in front of you. Hold out your thumb and your first finger.
Your partner needs to hold the ruler from the 30cm end and position the 0cm end just above the gap between your outstretched thumb and first finger. Make sure you aren’t touching the ruler!
Without giving you a warning, your partner needs to drop the ruler.
Catch the ruler, as quickly as you can, using just your thumb and finger. If you miss, make sure you watch out for your face or toes! And then have another go.
Record the point at which you caught the ruler, to the nearest cm. Measure from the bottom of your thumb.

uppose the weights of Farmer Carl's potatoes are normally distributed with a mean of 9 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.8 ou

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

x= 9.53 ounces

Explanation:

Given that

Mean ,μ= 9 ounces

Standard deviation ,σ=0.8 ounces

He wants to sell only those potatoes that are among the heaviest 25%.

P=25% = 0.25

When P= 0.25 then Z=0.674

Lest take x is the the minimum weight required to be brought to the farmer's market.

We know that

x = Z . σ + μ

x= 0.674 ₓ 0.8 + 9 ounces

x= 9.53 ounces

Margaret [11]

Answer:

if we measure the change in height of the gas within the had and obtain a straight line in relation to the depth we can conclude that the air complies with Boye's law.

Explanation:

The air in the tube can be considered an ideal gas,

P V = nR T

In that case we have the tube in the air where the pressure is P1 = P_atm, then we introduce the tube to the water to a depth H

For pressure the open end of the tube is

P₂ = P_atm + ρ g H

Let's write the gas equation for the colon

P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

P_atm V₁ = (P_atm + ρ g H) V₂

V₂ = V₁ P_atm / (P_atm + ρ g h)

If the air obeys Boyle's law e; volume within the had must decrease due to the increase in pressure, if we measure the change in height of the gas within the had and obtain a straight line in relation to the depth we can conclude that the air complies with Boye's law.

The main assumption is that the temperature during the experiment does not change
