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!
Answer:
a.
b.
Explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
- Velocity of the particle, v(t) = 3 cos(mt) = 3 cos (0.5t) .
<h2>
(a):</h2>
The acceleration of the particle at a time is defined as the rate of change of velocity of the particle at that time.
At time t = 3 seconds,
<u>Note</u>:<em> The arguments of the sine is calculated in unit of radian and not in degree.</em>
<h2>
(b):</h2>
The velocity of the particle at some is defined as the rate of change of the position of the particle.
For the time interval of 2 seconds,
The term of the left is the displacement of the particle in time interval of 2 seconds, therefore,
It is the displacement of the particle in 2 seconds.
B. I think is the correct answer
