hi. Im from korea and im studying physics in U.S. school but
im really stuck in the four problems.
1. Suppose Madelaine measures the speed of light to be 2.999 x 10^8m/s with
an uncertainty of 0.006 x 10^8 m/s.
- Is this measurement more or less precise than the example on Page21?
(In the page21 example is "the speed of light might range from3.000 x 10^8 m/s to 3.002 x 10^8 m/s. The precision of themeasurement was 0.001 x 10^8 m/s.)
- Is it more or less accurate?
2. Suppose you receive $5.00 at the beginning of a week and spend$1.00
each day for lunch. You prepare a graph of the amount you have leftat the end of each day. Would the slope of this graph be positive,zero, or negative? why?
3. Data are plotted on a graph and the value on the y-axis is thesame for each value of the independent variable. what is the slope?why?
4. Three students use a meterstick to measure the width of a labtable. One records an answer of 84cm, another 83.8, and the third,83.78. Explain which answer is recorded correctly.
Please help me!! these four questions!!!! thank you!
