Given the following set of data:
Table 1
Distance(cm) Data 1 Data 2 Data 3 Data 4 Data 5 Data 6 Data 7
Student 1 0.9 1.0 1.8 2.0 2.5 2.3 3.2
Student 2 1.8 0.8 0.7 0.1 0.9 1.12 1.15
Student 3 1.0 2.2 1.4 2.4 3.0 2.4 2.0

Calculations for average distance and standard deviation using the statistic mode calculator: Average distance for student 1=1.96cm Standard deviation for student 1 = 0.82cm Average distance for student 2 = 0.85cm Standard deviation for student 2 = 0.38cm Average distance for student 3 = 2.06 Standard deviation for student 3 = 0.67
Solutions to Questions
Question 1:
The data was precise since no standard/ known value was compared to the experimental

The significant figures obtained when the caliper was read
Four (4) significant figures To determine the volume of the cube in m3
Volume = length3 = (3.238 × 3.238 × 3.238)/1000000 = 3.395 × 10-5 m3 (4 significant figures) To determine the density of the cube in kg/m3 and the number of significant figures
Density = mass/volume
Mass = 91.66g = 0.09166kg
Density = 0.09166kg/ (3.395×10-5 m3) = 2699.9kg/m3 (5 significant figures) To determine the mass (in grams) for a cube made of copper (copper density=8990 kg/m3) if the length of the cube is 1 inch
Mass = density × volume
1 inch = 2.54cm
Volume = 2.543 =16.39cm3
Density=8990kg/m3= (8990 /1000) g/cm3=8.99 g/cm3
Mass = 8.99 g/cm3 × 16.39cm3 = 147.3 grams (4 significant figures) Prelab 2 Questions
Given a skier which is initially at point A at 200 m (tA=0.0 minute), then skier moves to the right at point B at 350m in 1 minute (tB=1.0 minute), then turns and moves 100 m to the left at point C after another minute (tC=2.0 minute) and finally after another minute is moving right 50 m at point D (tD=3 minute)

Drawing of the diagram showing the skier movement
