how is it calculated how many numbers in rows or columns should be the sum of when we place integers starting from 1 in a magic square of size NXN? develop the necessary formula depending on N. show that the sum for n=3 will be 15.
Can someone please help me to solve question 10?Please show all work, formulas, and diagrams. Please and thank you!!!
Posted below is a picture of a data table and a diagram of an experiment. In the experiment you rolled a marble down a ruler ramp off the end of a coffee table to observe projectiles and conservation of energy. You do 3 trials for each initial height. Each height is measured in meters.
h= initial height of marble off of table
Y= height of table off floor
X= horizontal distance marble goes from edge of table to where it strikes the floor
a) use the table to find information you need to solve for theoretical range and % of error in measured range.
