Answer:
(a) -472.305 J
(b) 1 m
Explanation:
(a)
Change in mechanical energy equals change in kinetic energy
Kinetic energy is given by
Initial kinetic energy is 
Since he finally comes to rest, final kinetic energy is zero because the final velocity is zero
Change in kinetic energy is given by final kinetic energy- initial kinetic energy hence
0-472.305 J=-472.305 J
(b)
From fundamental kinematic equation

Where v and u are final and initial velocities respectively, a is acceleration, s is distance
Making s the subject we obtain
but a=\mu g hence

Answer:
68 readings.
Explanation:
We need to take this problem as a statistic problem where the normal distribution table help us.
We can start considerating that X is the temperature of the solution, then



For a confidence level of 90% our
is 1.645
Therefore,

Substituting for
and re-arrange for n, we have that n is equal to




We need to make 68 readings for have a probability of 90% and our average is within 
Answer: For leverage and so the can be easily handled.
