3. Your engineering firm has been asked to determine the deceleration of a car during hard braking. To do so, you decide to measure the lengths of the skid marks when stopping from various initial speeds. Your data are as follows: TIH Skid length (m) Speed (m/s) 10 7 15 14 20 27 25 37 30 58 a. Do the data support an assertion that the deceleration is constant, independent of speed? Explain? b. Determine an experimental value for the car's deceleration- that is, the absolute value of the acceleration Your analysis method should involve fitting a straight line to an appropriate graph.

The "spring-like effect" in a golf club could be determined by measuring the coeffi cient of restitution (the ratio of the outbound velocity to the inbound velocity of a golf ball fired at the clubhead). Twelve randomly selected drivers produced by two clubmakers are tested and the coefficient of restitution measured. The data follow: Club 1: 0.8406, 0.8104, 0.8234, 0.8198, 0.8235, 0.8562, 0.8123, 0.7976, 0.8184, 0.8265, 0.7773, 0.7871 Club 2: 0.8305, 0.7905, 0.8352, 0.8380, 0.8145, 0.8465, 0.8244, 0.8014, 0.8309, 0.8405, 0.8256, 0.8476 Test the hypothesis that both brands of ball have equal mean overall distance. Use a = 0.05 and assume equal variances. Answer the following questions regarding the t-test. 1. How many degrees-of-freedom are there in this problem (needed for finding the critical t- values). 2. What is the absolute values of the critical t-value for this problem? We are using a two- tailed t-test with a significance level of 5%. (use four significant figures) 3. What is…

Cardiologists use the short-range scaling exponent α1, which measures the randomness of heart rate patterns, as a tool to assess risk of heart attack. The article “Applying Fractal Analysis to Short Sets of Heart Rate Variability Data” compared values of α1 computed from long series of measurements (approximately 40,000 heartbeats) with those estimated from the first 300 beats to determine how well the long-term measurement (y) could be predicted the short-term one (x). Following are the data (obtained by digitizing a graph). Short Long 0.54 0.55 1.02 0.79 1.4 0.81 0.88 0.9 1.68 1.05 1.16 1.05 0.82 1.05 0.93 1.07 1.26 1.1 1.18 1.19 0.81 1.19 0.81 1.2 1.28 1.23 1.18 1.23 0.71 1.24 Note: This problem has a reduced data set for ease of performing the calculations required.

As we explained in earlier chapters, the air resistance to the motion of a vehicle is something important that engineers investigate. The drag force acting on a car is determined experimentally by placing the car in a wind tunnel. The air speed inside the tunnel is changed, and the drag force acting on the car is measured. For a given car, the experimental data generally is represented by a single coefficient that is called drag coefficient. It is defined by the following relationship: F, where air resistance for a car that has a listed C, = drag coefficient (unitless) measured drag force (N) drag coefficient of 0.4 and width of 190 cm and height of 145 cm. Vary the air speed in the range of 15 m/s
