Answer 1

Given:

A student is lab report concludes ,; the speeds of sound in air is 327.

To find:

What's wrong with this statement?

Solution:

• First of all, whenever a physical quantity is calculated and reported, a specific unit for the physical quantity is a must !

• The student forgot to write the unit for speed of sound. Whether it's m/s or km/hr, etc.

• Judging from the value he/she received at the laboratory, the unit must have been 327 m/s (metres per second).

• Secondly, he wrote "speeds" , it should been "speed".

• Finally, he/she forgot to report the temperature of the environment (ambience) at the time of experiment at the laboratory.
