Inertia is the property of an object that describes:

1 answer:

8 0

Inertia is the property of an object that basically describes its resistance to change its state of motion.

For instance, if an object is still, inertia describes the "attitude" of the object to stay still (a force should be applied in order to move it). Similarly, if an object is moving by uniform motion (with constant speed), inertia refers to the "attitude" of the object to keep its uniform motion (again, a force should be applied to the object in order to change this state of motion).

What distance does electromagnetic radiation travel in 55.0 μs ?

Komok [63]

Electromagnetic radiation is an energy that is known as light. so electromagnetic radiation will have the same speed as the speed of light which is 3 x 10^8 m/s. so the distance it travel at 55 x 10^-6 s is:
D = ( 3 x 10^8 m/s ) ( 55 x 10^-6 s )
D = 16500 m

Calculate the sample standard deviation and sample variance for the following frequency distribution of hourly wages for a sampl

ollegr [7]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) standard deviation = σ = 4.9996

(b) variance = σ² = 24.996

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2 />

Given frequency table (find attached as Table 1);

(a) To find the sample standard deviation and sample variance, follow these steps;

i. Calculate the mid-point c for each group by using the mid-point formula;

c = (lower bound + upper bound) / 2

=> c = (6.51 + 8.50) / 2 = 7.505

=> c = (8.51 + 10.50) / 2 = 9.505

=> c = (10.51 + 12.50) / 2 = 11.505

=> c = (12.51 + 14.50) / 2 = 13.505

=> c = (14.51 + 16.50) / 2 = 15.505

So the new table becomes (find attached as Table 2);

ii. Calculate the total number of samples (n) which is the sum of all the frequencies.

n = 50+18+42+20+46

n = 176

iii. Calculate the mean (M)

This is done by first multiplying the midpoints by the corresponding frequencies and then dividing the result by the total number of samples (n).

M = [(7.505 x 50) + (9.505 x 18) + (11.505 x 42) + (13.505 x 20) + (15.505 x 46)] / 176

M = [375.25 + 171.09 + 483.21 + 270.1 + 713.23] / 176

M = [2012.88] / 176

M = 11.44

iv. Find the variance (σ²);

The variance is calculated using the following formula

σ² = [Σ(f x c²) - (n x M²)] / (n - 1) ------------(i)

Where;

f = frequency of each boundary data point

=> Let's first calculate Σ(f x c²).

This is done by finding the sum of the product of the frequency (f) of each boundary point and the square of their corresponding mid-points(c)

Σ(f x c²) = [(50 x 7.505²) + (18 x 9.505²) + (42 x 11.505²) + (20 x 13.505²) + (46 x 15.505²)]

Σ(f x c²) = [(2816.25125) + (1626.21045) + (5559.33105) + (3647.7005) + (11058.63115)]

Σ(f x c²) = 24708.1244

=> Now calculate (n x M²)

n x M² = 176 x 11.44²

n x M² = 23033.7536

=> Now substitute these values into equation (i) to calculate the variance

σ² = [Σ(f x c²) - (n x M²)] / (n - 1)

σ² = [24708.1244 - 23033.7536] / (176 - 1)

σ² = [4374.3708] / (175)

σ² = 24.996

Therefore, the variance is 24.996

v. Find the standard deviation (σ)

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance. i.e

σ = √σ²

σ = √24.996

σ = 4.9996

Therefore, the standard deviation is 4.9996

An isolated conducting sphere has a 17 cm radius. One wire carries a current of 1.0000020 A into it. Another wire carries a curr

notsponge [240]

14 ms is required to reach the potential of 1500 V.

Explanation:

The current is measured as the amount of charge traveling per unit time. So the charge of electrons required for each current is determined as the product of current with time.

$Charge = Current \times Time$

As two different current is passing at two different times, the net charge will be the different in current. So,

$\text { Charge }=(1.0000020-1.0000000) \times t=2 \times 10^{-6} \times t$

The electric voltage on the surface of cylinder can be obtained as the ratio of charge to the radius of the cylinder.

$V=\frac{k q}{R}$

Here $k = 9 * 10^9$ , q is the charge and R is the radius. As $q=2 \times 10^{-6} \times t$ and R =17 cm = 0.17 m, then the voltage will be

$V=\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 2 \times 10^{-6} \times t}{0.17}$

The time is required to find to reach the voltage of 1500 V, so

$1500 =\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 2 \times 10^{-6} \times t}{0.17}$

$\begin{aligned}&t=\frac{1500 \times 0.17}{\left(9 \times 10^{9} \times 2 \times 10^{-6}\right)}\\&t=14.1666 \times 10^{-3} s=14\ \mathrm{ms}\end{aligned}$

So, 14 ms is required to reach the potential of 1500 V.

An instrument that measures air pressure using a partially evacuated chamber is called a(n ________ barometer.

Jet001 [13]

The appropriate response is the Aneroid barometer. This kind of gauge has an incompletely cleared chamber that progressions shape, packing as barometrical weight increments and growing as weight declines.

I hope the answer will help you.
