Homework Statement The speed of sound in air is proportional to the square root of the temperature in kelvin. A flute player begins playing with the temperature of air in the tube at 288 K. The speed of sound at this temperature is 340 m s–1. After a few minutes playing the air temperature in...

Yes! Thank you :) But can you tell me one more thing... what does the percent deviation tell me? As oppose to my percent error..? For instance I get my percent deviation to be 5%, and my percent error = 11%. What does this tell me? Thanks in advance~

% Deviation vs. % Error?? Hey guys, what's the difference between percent deviation and percent error?? I'm totally confused... how do I compare those two percentages? Any explanation or links that can help me with this so I can understand better is much appreciated! Thanks~ Rachelle

Ok, I did the proper "latex tags" :D ...sorry about that

"Banking" Problem _disregard

Oh sorry, I guess you are right! Actually, the Time column shows "0" but the Acceleration column shows blank (so was the Velocity & Distance columns for the first row). I just assumed initial Acceleration will be 0 and include it on calculating the average acceleration, when in fact like you...

Hmm.. sorry, follow-up question... What if I'm calculating my average acceleration for gravity, do I need to include the "0" then? It's just that when I didn't include the "0" on my calculations, it was nearer the true value of "g" (9.81) But when I included zero in calculating my average, it...

Thanks! ~rachelle

Hi, this may seem like a silly question, but I'm gunna ask it anyway... I have the ff. data for acceleration: 0 　 9.152 8.43 9.07 7.731 10.423 When I calculate the average acceleration, would it be the sum divided by 6 or would it be the sum divided by 5? That is, should I include...

Whoops, I got the correct answer but I meant .541 - .715/.541 and my true value was actually .541 Anyway, I got it, thanks

Ok, I'm doing my Physics lab and I was told to give a "percent disagreement" if any.. I know it's a very simple question, but I want to make sure if I understood it right... So say I get an expected value to be .541 and when I calculated it, the answer is .715... so is the "percent...

i don't know where to post this, but we did a little experiment on pennies, and I'm having trouble with analyzing the calculations... basically the pennies turned into silver, the other gold.. after we heat it, etc inc. in mass of the pennies .0006 g density of the solid added to the...

Thank you, thank you, thank you~~sdekivit! I finally got it :rolleyes: Also yes, I should learn how to use the notations correctly... I'll read up on how to use the notations here on the forum :smile: Thank you again!
