Why do scientists often take several measurements of the same object, average them together, and use the average value as the measurement?

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 710 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of θ = 23° with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μk = 0.19. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. a) what is the block's initial mechanical energy? b) if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance, l, in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.

Ameter stick is pivoted at the 0.50-m line. a 3.0-kg object is hung from the 0.15-m line. where should a 5.0-kg object be hung to achieve equilibrium (the meter stick oriented horizontal and motionless)?

The arrival of in the early days of europa’s existence could have formed its ocean. it is likely that the water experienced similar to earth. it is also possible that this water is retained beneath europa’s surface and in its atmosphere due to europa’s . 1.) a. precipitation b. water vapor c. icy debris 2.) a. gravitational compression b. biochemical cycling c. radiogenic heating 3.) a, gravity b. magnetic field c. heat energy for plato
