A simple pendulum is known to have a period, T = 1.55 s. Student A uses their smartphone stopwatch app to measure the total time for 5 oscillations and divides that by 5 to report an average period of T = 1.25 s. Student B uses the same technique but goes old school and whips out his grandpa’s analog stopwatch to come up with an average of T = 1.5 s. What is the most probable source of error that explains the different results?

A250-n box is at rest on a frictionless horizotal floor. then a person shoves the box with a non-zero force of magnitude p. which statement best describes the relationship betweeen p and the motion of the box after it was shoved? -the box will not move when p< 250n but otherwise will accelerate at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p - the box will begin moving at a speed that is directly proportional to p, then will gradually slow to a halt -the box will move with constant velocity at a speed that is directly proportional to p -box will accelerate across the floor at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p
