An experimenter is trying to determine the average speed of an object falling to the ground from a height of 2 m, starting from rest. To determine the height, a meter-stick is used (uncertainty: ± 2 cm). To determine the time, a camera is used. The camera records 20 frames per second, so its uncertainty is 0.05 s. The experimenter finds that it took 0.63 seconds for the object to fall. Determine the minimum and maximum values for time, distance and average speed. Show your calculations below, and enter your results in the provided table.

(a) If your speedometer has an uncertainty of 2.0 km/h at a speed of 90 km/h, what is the percent uncertainty? (b) If it has the same percent uncertainty when it reads 60 km/h, what is the range of speeds you could be going?
Acceleration a has the dimensions of length per time squared, speed v has the dimensions of length per time, and radius r has the dimension of length. Which of the following expressions may be correct? Explain your answer in each case. a. a = vr b. a = v/r c. a = v2/r d. a = v/r2
In Jules Vernes novel, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Captain Nemo and his passengers undergo many adventures as they travel the Earths oceans, a. If 1.00 league equals 3.500 km, find the depth in meters to which the crew traveled if they actually went 2.000 104 leagues below the ocean surface. b. Find the difference between your answer to part (a) and the radius of the Earth, 6.38 106 m. (Incidentally, author Jules Verne meant that the total distance traveled, and not the depth, was 20,000 leagues.)
According to Timothy Treadwell in 2001 "Now, the bears I live with average, the males are on average twelve hundred pounds. They're the largest bears in the world and they've been clocked at 41 [mph] and they've run a hundred meter dash in 5.85 seconds which human on stimulants doesn't even approach. a. Compute the speed of a grizzly bear using Mr. Treadwell's hundred-meter statement. b. Compute the momentum of a grizzly bear using the speed you calculated in part a. and the average mass stated by Mr. Treadwell. c. How fast would a 250 lb man have to run to have the same momentum you calculated in part b? d. How fast would a 4000 lb car have to drive to have the same momentum you calculated in part b?
