The acceleration of certain objects is studied in an experimental test track for automobiles. The distance traveled by an object L is measured as a function of time t to yield the following:
t (s) 0.1 0.2 0.5 1.0 1.5 1.8 2.0 3.0

L (m) 0.26 0.55 1.56 3.90 7.41 10.28 12.6 30.

Obtain a best fit to this data, considering first-, second, and third-order polynomials. Using these polynomials, calculate the values of the dependent variable L at the time intervals employed for the given data to evaluate the accuracy of the polynomial representations. Discuss the results obtained.

Based on experimental observations, the acceleration of a particle is defined by the relation a = –(0.1 + sin x/b), where a and x are expressed in m/s2 and meters, respectively. Know that b = 0.96 m and that v = 1 m/s when x = 0. 1)The velocity of the particle 2)The position where velocity is maximum 3)Determine the maximum velocity. (Round the final answer to three decimal places.) The maximum velocity

Drivers are concerned with the mileage obtained by their automobiles. One driver has kept track of several tankfuls of fuel by recording the kilometres driven and the litres used for each tankful. Develop a python program that prompts the user to input the kilometres driven and litres used for each tankful. The program should calculate and display the kilometres per litre obtained for each tankful. Read inputs for at least 10 such readings. After processing all input information, the program...

13. What acceleration, will an electron experience when it is a distance of 30 nm away from a charge of Q = -30e ? (Use the sign convention here: + for acceleration away from the charge Q, and - for acceleration towards it.) The mass of an electron is 9.11 x10-31 kg.

Two plots at Rothamsted Experimental Station were studied for the production of wheat straw. For a random sample of years, the annual wheat straw production (in pounds) from one plot was as follows. 6.33 6.05 7.17 5.98 7.31 7.18 7.06 5.79 6.24 5.91 6.14 Use a calculator to verify that, for this plot, the sample variance is s2 ≈ 0.342. Another random sample of years for a second plot gave the following annual wheat production (in pounds). 6.12 7.17 7.73...
