Two scientists decide to experimentally verify the phenomenon of time dilation. One scientist sets up a lab on an airplane, an the other scientists sets up a lab on the ground. The idea is for each scientist to measure the time it takes for muons at rest on the surface of the Earth to decay. Suppose that the clocks can measure time down to a precision of 10^-10 s 0.0000000001 s. If the scientist on Earth measures a lifetime of 2.2x10 s, how fast must the other scientist's plane travel relative to the ground so that the diffe rence in time intervals predicted by relativity can be detected?

Ahorizontal wire is tied to supports at each end and vibrates in its second-overtone standing wave. the tension in the wire is 5.00 n, and the node-to-node distance in the standing wave is 6.28 cm. (a) what is the length of the wire? (b) a point at an anti- node of the standing wave on the wire travels from its maximum upward displacement to its maximum downward displacement in 8.40 ms. what is the wire's mass?

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
