The probability of that time at which the headway is at most 6 sec is 0.585.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

The area of mathematics known as probability deals with numerical representations of the likelihood that an event will occur or that a statement is true. An event's probability is a number between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0 denotes the event's impossibility and 1 denotes certainty. The likelihood that an event will occur increases with its probability. A straightforward illustration is tossing a fair (impartial) coin. Since there are no other conceivable outcomes and the coin is fair, the odds of both the possibilities, "heads" and "tails," are equally likely to occur. As a result, the probability of either occurrence is half.

P(X<6) =(1-exp(-0.16*(6-0.5)))

=0.585

A car in motion has kinetic energy. What happens to the kinetic energy when the car brakes to a stop? The kinetic energy is tran

Pie

Answer:

<em>When a moving car brakes to a stop the </em><em>kinetic energy of the car is converted to heat energy. </em>

Explanation:

A moving car has kinetic energy.

It is given by the equation $k=\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Where m denotes mass of the car and v denote sits velocity. When the brakes are applied the velocity becomes zero and the car doesn’t possess kinetic energy anymore.

According to law of conservation of energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but can only be transformed from one form to another. On coming to a stop, the kinetic energy of the car gets converted to heat. The friction between the tyre and the road heats up the tyre.

A ______ is a network that has all connected devices located in the same physical location.

Dafna11 [192]

<span>The answer is Local Area Network (LAN). Examples of LANs, are those in workplaces, libraries, and universities. The nodes are connected and share common resources over a WiFi, Ethernet network, Token rings, and etcetera. The opposite of LAN is a Wide Area Network (WAN) that covers a wide geographical area.</span>

Bella makes the 6.1m distance to her food bowl in 8.8 seconds what is her average velocity

storchak [24]

Bella’s average velocity is about 0.693 meters per second.

To find the average velocity, you must divide the distance by the change in time, which should look like v=d/t

Here is how you set up the equation-
v=6.1/8.8

Once you divide 6.1 meters by 8.8 seconds, you should get a number that looks like 0.69318182.... however, I just rounded it to 0.693 meters per second. You can round it to whatever you like.

Hope this helped! If you have any questions about what I mentioned in my answer or explanation, feel free to comment on my answer and I’ll try to get back to you!

What would be the coefficient of performance if the refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a

viktelen [127]

Complete Question

A certain refrigerator, operating between temperatures of -8.00°C and +23.2°C, can be approximated as a Carnot refrigerator.

What is the refrigerator's coefficient of performance? COP

(b) What If? What would be the coefficient of performance if the refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a heat pump? COP

Answer:

$COP = 8.49$

$COP_1 = 9.49$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The lower operation temperature of refrigerator is $T_1 = -8.00^oC = 265 \ K$

The upper operation temperature of the refrigerator is $T_2 = 23.2 ^oC = 296.2 \ K$

Generally the refrigerators coefficient of performance is mathematically represented as

$COP = \frac{T_1}{T_2 - T_1 }$

=> $COP = \frac{265}{296.2 - 265 }$

=> $COP = 8.49$

Generally if a refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a heat pump , the coefficient of performance is mathematically represented as

$COP_1 = \frac{T_2}{ T_2 - T_1}$

=> $COP_1 = \frac{296.2}{ 296.2 - 265 }$

=> $COP_1 = 9.49$
