jae measured the time for a metal ball to be displaced in vertical direction by a meter nine times. he got .43s as the average value and .01s as the statistical uncertainty at 99% level. estimate the size of the statistical uncertainty at 68%. you may need to google how to etsimate the size of statistical error with different percent level.

Expert Solution

For the calculations to be done in this problem we'll make the assumption of normality of the time taken by the ball to displace 1meter in vertical direction. But the mean and variance of the distribution is unknown. We have to use the critical values of the t-distribution and statistical uncertainty=S.D*critical value.The solution with explanations are given in the images...

Excess HCl (aq) was added to 0.5549 grams of a divalent metal. The gas generated displaced water from a starting volume of 525.0 mL down to 311.0 mL. The temperature and pressure in the laboratory were 24.2 degrees Celsius and 753.1 torr respectively. What is the identity of the divalent metal? (The vapor pressure of water at 24.2 degrees Celsius is 17.8 torr)

Consider a ball being fired straight up (purely in the y-direction). If the ball has a maximum height of H above the launcher, you should be able to calculate the initial velocity of the ball, v0 , as it leaves the launcher. Answering the questions below will help you accomplish this task. First draw a diagram of the situation. Clearly label H , v0 , and the point you select as your origin. What will the velocity of the ball...

A ball of mass m is tied to a string and is rotating in a vertical plane. The string is elastic (it stretches), which causes the path to be elongated vertically rather than perfectly circular. At the top of the path, the speed has the minimum value that still allows the ball to complete its circular path. Find: the length of the string when it makes an angle θ with respect to the horizontal. The following quantities are known: Mass...

A ball is thrown eastward into the air from the origin (in the direction of the positive x-axis). The initial velocity is 50 i + 80 k, with speed measured in feet per second. The spin of the ball results in a southward acceleration of 8 ft/s2, so the acceleration vector is a = −8 j − 32 k. Where does the ball land? (Round your answers to one decimal place.) _______________ft from the origin at an angle of ________________...
