1
Identify the unit given in the problem: \( \text{ms}^{-1} \).
Recognize that \( \text{ms}^{-1} \) is a derived unit, which means it is composed of more than one base unit.
Break down the unit \( \text{ms}^{-1} \) into its components: \( \text{m} \) stands for meters, and \( \text{s}^{-1} \) stands for per second.
Understand that meters (m) is a unit of length and seconds (s) is a unit of time.
Conclude that \( \text{ms}^{-1} \) represents a rate of change of length with respect to time, which is a unit of speed or velocity.

Velocity

Velocity is a vector quantity that describes the rate of change of an object's position with respect to time. It is expressed in units of distance per time, such as meters per second (ms-1). Recognizing that ms-1 indicates a speed or velocity helps in understanding motion in physics.

Two students determine the percentage of lead in a sample as a laboratory exercise. The true percentage is 22.52%. The students' results for three determinations are as follows: (1) 22.52, 22.48, 22.54 (2) 22.64, 22.58, 22.62 (b) Precision can be judged by examining the average of the deviations from the average value for that data set. (Calculate the average value for each data set; then calculate the average value of the absolute deviations of each measurement from the average.) Which set is more precise?
