Each measurement we take has a level of uncertainty in it. The smaller the uncertainty, the larger the precision our measurement has. Let's revisit how one might go about estimating the uncertainty in a measurement. If we assume our instrument is properly calibrated and we are not introducing systematic error through improper techniques, then if we take enough measurements, the average of these measurements will be around the true value. The upper and lower bounds of these measurements would then give us one method for determining our measuring device's uncertainty. (This of course is only true for a large set of measurements, but the approximation is good enough for now to get us started). For example, say we perform last week's experiment of pulling a block at a constant velocity with a force sensor across another rough surface. We take the following five measurements: F, = {2.51 N, 2.53 N, 2.50 N, 2.54 N, 2.49 N} The average of this dataset is F, = 2.51 N Now we have the choice of…
Christian Huygens in the 1600’s invented the first clock which was small enough to fit in an ordinary room but much more accurate than the large tower clocks of his day. What was his big idea? Why does it work well on land but not at sea? (Ships would have to wait many years for an accurate on-board timepiece).

Should be solved using classical mechanics( Kinematics) Many physicists rely on data from particle accelerators for their research. Consider an alpha particle (the nucleus of a helium atom) traveling inside a straight tube 2.0 m long that forms part of a particle accelerator. The alpha particle enters the tube moving at a velocity 9.5 × 105 m/s and emerges from the other end after 8.0 × 10−7 seconds. (a) If the particle’s acceleration is constant, what is its velocity when it leaves the tube? (b) If instead the particle’s acceleration increases linearly with time as a(t) = kt, where k = 1 × 1019 m/s3, what is its velocity when it leaves the tube? (c) Plot the velocity versus time graph for the alpha particle in parts (a) and (b), for the duration of its travel in the tube.

< Question 9 of 20 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 ground with a long measuring tape. Bob is a pitcher, and knows that the fastest he can throw the ball is to = 91.0 mph. 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 f₁ = 0.910 s, the ball is once again level with Bob. Bob cannot see well enough to time when the ball hits the ground. Bob's friend then measures that the ball landed a distance of x = 332 ft from the base of the cliff. How high up is Bob if the ball started from exactly 5 ft above the edge of the cliff? height of the cliff: 5 fi TOOLS x10
