This PR corrects some calculation errors in BrockPhysics/College_Physics_Urone questions and cleans up some display and formatting issues with extraneous pg markup \( being shown in the text .

Corrections:

  • 7-07.Power/NU_U17_07_07_011.pg formula for time
  • 7-01.Work.The_Scientific_Definition/NU_U17_07_01_008.pg fixed round off error
  • 31-06.Binding_Energy/NU_U17-31-06-006.pg mass of proton
  • 31-05.Half-Life_and_Activity/NU_U17-31-05-008.pg removed bizarre factor of 10^8

Added tolerance to 003-005_ADDITIONOFVELOCITIES/NU_U17-03-05-015.pg to coerce correct significant figures in answer.

Converted latex \textrm{} to \mathrm{} for consistent font presentation.

Let me know if you want changes made to the request.
