Speed is the rate at which an object moves relative to its reference point. average speed is the total distance divided by the total time. we use average speed because the speed of an object may vary over time. common measures of speed include miles per hour, meters per second or kilometers per minute. if you drive at a speed limit of 65 miles per hour, it means that in one hour you will have traveled 65 miles from the reference point of where you began.
because the speed at which an object travels varies over time,
a
it is impossible to calculate any type of speed measurement.
b
distance is considered the more important measurement.
c
average speed is used, which is total distance divided by total time.
d
time is considered the more important measurement.

The force acting on a beam was measured under the same operating conditions and a sample of 5 data points was collected. this process was repeated by 3 observers. the pooled standard deviations of these 3 data sets was 1.21. determine the true mean force using all pooled data (with a 95% probability). the result should look like this: true mean = mean +/- margin of error

Acylinder with a movable piston contains 11.7 moles of a monatomic ideal gas at a pressure of 1.32×10^5 pa. the gas is initially at a temperature of 300 k. an electric heater adds 43200 j of energy into the gas while the piston moves in such a way that the pressure remains constant. cp=20.79 j k^−1 mol^−1 for a monatomic ideal gas, and that the number of gas molecules is equal to avogadro's number (6.022×10^23) times the number of moles of the gas. (a) what is the temperature of the gas after the energy is added? (b) what is the change in volume of the gas? (c) how much work is done by the gas during this process?
