An experiment is performed in an ideal condition to find out the velocity of a particle obeying the equation S=vtS=vt where the distance travelled (S)(S) inside a labeled glass tube by a particle with an uniform velocity (v)(v) is measured with respect to time taken (t)(t). The data collected by repeating the experiment five times is shown in the table below If we use the method to minimize the squared sum error, what is the most likely velocity of the particle among the given options? 2.5 1.5 2 1
2) You are hiking along a trail in a wide, dry canyon where the outdoor temperature is T = 32° C. To determine how far you are away from the canyon wall you yell “Hello” and hear the echo t = 3.5 s later. Randomized Variables T = 32° C t = 3.5 s a) Calculate the speed of sound in the valley in meters per second, assuming the speed at 0° C is 330 m/s. b) How far are you from the canyon wall, in meters? c) If you stood at the same point on a cold morning where the temperature was T2 = -3.5 degrees C, how long would it have taken for you to hear the echo, in seconds?

Problem 1: While sunbathing on the balcony of your 3rd floor apartment, you notice someone drop a m = 8.7 kg pumpkin from rest from the roof of the 5-story building across the street. Since you just completed a course on surveying, you know that the two identical buildings are d = 32 m apart, and have floors that are h = 4.9 m tall. The first floor is at ground level, as shown. Randomized Variablesm = 8.7 kgd = 32 mh = 4.9 m Part (a) Determine the magnitude of the angular momentum of the pumpkin, in kilogram meters squared per second, as observed by you immediately after it is dropped.Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression.La = __________________________________________Part (b) Determine the magnitude of the angular momentum of the pumpkin, in kilogram meters squared per second, as observed by you as it passes the floor of the 4th floor balcony of the other building.Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression.Lb =…
