A soft-drink bottler purchases glass bottles from a vendor. The bottles are required to have internal pressure strength of at le

maria [59]

Answer: K =24 psi

Explanation:

Given: Standard deviation =3psi

Internal pressure strength =157psi

Number of random bottle =n=64

K= 3 × square root of 64

K= 3×8=24 psi

If mean internal pressure K fall below K,

157-1.3=155.7psi

At 2%:

0.16×64 = 10.24

Two Polaroids are aligned so that the initially unpolarized light passing through them is a maximum. At what angle should one of

steposvetlana [31]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the law of Malus which describes the change in the Intensity of Light when it crosses a polarized surface.

Mathematically the expression is given as

$I = I_0 cos^2\theta$

Where,

$I_0$ = Initial Intensity

I = Final Intensity after pass through the polarizer

$\theta$ = Angle between the polarizer and the light

Since it is sought to reduce the intensity by half the relationship between the two intensities will be given as

$\frac{I}{I_0} = \frac{1}{2}$

Using the Malus Law we have,

$I = I_0 cos^2\theta$

$cos^2\theta = \frac{I}{I_0}$

$cos^2\theta = \frac{1}{2}$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})^2$

$\theta = 75.52\°$

Angle with respect to maximum is $90-75.52 = 14.48\°$

When you drive through deep water, you should dry out your brakes by _____________. pumping your brakes and driving in low gear

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

By Applying pressure to the brakes

Explanation:

Driving cars through deep water that is more than 10cm can make the cars to float. Most modern cars are usually water- tight so they can start to float through water that is about 30cm deep, fast moving water is very powerful so one needs to be very careful when driving.

If the brakes are wet test them by pressing or tapping on them gently.

You can as well dry brakes by driving in low gear and applying pressure to the brakes.

Solve for the unknown in each of these circuits

Tamiku [17]

Ohms law: This law relates voltage difference between two points. Mathematically, the law states that V=IR;

Where

V = voltage difference ; in volts

I = Current ; in Amperes

R = Resistance ; in ohms

1. Answer : given that R = 10 ; V= 12 V ; I = ?

From ohms law, I = V/R

= 12/10

= 1.2 Amp.

2. Answer: given that R = 10 ; V= ? ; I = 5

From ohms law, V = IR

= 10×5 = 50 V

3 . Answer: given that R = ? ; V= 120 ; I = 5

From ohms law, R = V/I

= 120/5

= 24 Ω

4 . Answer: given that R = ? ; V= 10 ; I = 20

From ohms law, R = V/I

= 10/20

= 0.5 Ω

5 . Answer: given that R = 480 ; V= 24 ; I = ?

From ohms law, I = V/R

= 24/480

= 0.05 A

6. Answer: given that R = 150 ; V= ? ; I = 1

From ohms law, V = IR

= 1 × 150

= 150 V
