After measuring the speed of sound u several times, a student concludes that the standard deviation of u of her measurements is sigma_u = 10 m/s. if all uncertainties were random, she could get any desired precision by making enough number of measurement and averaging. how many measurements are needed to have the final uncertainty of the speed of sound plusminus 3 m/s ? how many measurements are needed to have the final uncertainty of the speed of sound plusminus 0.3 m/s ?

(a) assume the equation x = at^3 + bt describes the motion of a particular object, with x having the dimension of length and t having the dimension of time. determine the dimensions of the constants a and b. (use the following as necessary: l and t, where l is the unit of length and t is the unit of time.) (b) determine the dimensions of the derivative dx/dt = 3at^2 + b. (use the following as necessary: l and t, where l is the unit of length and t is the unit of time.)
