Why is it impossible to simultaneously measure the position and velocity of a particle with infinite accuracy?
a student measures the time of flight of a projectile and gets the following values (in seconds): 2.56, 2.58, 2.43, 2.58, 2.53, 2.42. What is the standard deviation of these values?
can you please solve the problem step by step? I don't understand it.

- Bob has just finished climbing a sheer cliff above a beach, and wants to figure out how high he climbed. All he has to use, however, is a baseball, a stopwatch, and a friend on the beach below with a long measuring tape. Bob is a pitcher and he knows that the fastest he can throw the ball is about ?0=34.1 m/s. Bob starts the stopwatch as he throws the ball (with no way to measure the ball's initial trajectory), and watches carefully. The ball rises and then falls, and after ?1=0.510 s the ball is once again level with Bob. Bob cannot see well enough to the time when the ball hits the ground. Bob's friend then measures that the ball landed ?=126 m from the base of the cliff.
