- If you make multiple measurements of your height, you are likely to find that the results vary by nearly half an inch in either direction due to measurement error and actual variations in height. You are slightly shorter in the evening, after gravity has compressed and reshaped your spine over the course of a day. One measurement of a man's height is 6 feet and 1 inch. Express his height in meters, using the appropriate number of significant figures.arrow_forwardA space probe on the surface of Mars sends a radio signal back to the earth, a distance of 7.37 x 10^7 km.

We can do this by approximating the area under a curve. But what curve? In this case, imagine that the velocity of the vehicle is a function of time, v(t). We do not have this function, but we do have the values of th function at certain points in time. If we assume the function (the velocity) is constant between these points in time (which is not actually true), we can get an approximation. distance traveled - feet Give another estimate using the velocities at the end of the time periods. distance traveled feet Question Help: Video 20210110 2205M2 ing 20210110 220552 jpgarrow_forwardThe acceleration of an object (in m/s2) is given by the function a(t)=8sin(t)a(t)=8sin(t).
