Answer:

The volume of the sample is $10\ cm^3$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frank has a sample of steel that weighs 80 grams

The density of his sample of steel is $d=8\ g/cm^3$

We have to find the volume of the sample. Density of an object is defined as mass per unit volume i. e.

$d=\dfrac{m}{V}$

$V=\dfrac{m}{d}$

$V=\dfrac{80\ g}{8\ gm/cm^3}$

$V=10\ cm^3$

Hence, the volume of the sample is $10\ cm^3$

An object initially at rest experiences an acceleration of 1.90 m/s² for 6.60 s then travels at that constant velocity for anot

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of the object's average velocity is 9.74 m/s (9.80 m/s without any intermediate rounding).

Explanation:

Hi there!

The average velocity is calculated as the displacement of the object divided by the time it takes the object to do that displacement.

The displacement is calculated as the distance between the final position of the object and the initial position. In this problem, the displacement is equal to the traveled distance because the object travels only in one direction:

a.v = Δx/t

Where:

a.v = average velocity.

Δx = displacement = final position - initial position

t = time

So, let's find the distance traveled while the object was accelerating. For that, we will use this equation:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of the object at time t.

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

a = acceleration.

In this case, since the object is initially at rest, v0 = 0. If we place the origin of the frame of reference at the point where the object starts moving, then x0 = 0. So, the equation of the position of the object after a time t will be:

x = 1/2 · a · t²

x = 1/2 · 1.90 m/s² · (6.60 s)²

x = 41.4 m

The object traveled 41.4 m during the first 6.60 s.

Now, let's find the rest of the traveled distance.

When the velocity is constant, a = 0. Then, the equation of position will be:

x = x0 + v · t

Let's place now the origin of the frame of reference at the point where the object starts traveling at constant velocity so that x0 = 0:

x = v · t

The velocity reached by the object during the acceleration phase is calculated as follows:

v = v0 + a · t (v0 = 0 because the object started from rest)

v = 1.90 m/s² · 6.60 s

v = 12.5 m/s

Then, the distance traveled by the object at a constant velocity will be:

x = 12.5 m/s · 8.50 s

x = 106 m

The total traveled distance in 15.1 s is (106 m + 41.4 m) 147 m.

Then the displacement will be:

Δx = final position - initial position

Δx = 147 m - 0 = 147 m

and the average velocity will be:

a.v = Δx/t

a.v = 147 m / 15.1 s

a.v = 9.74 m/s

The magnitude of the object's average velocity is 9.74 m/s (9.80 m/s without any intermediate rounding).

The key principle is that crank length, just like frame size, should be proportional to the rider height and then modified to what fits the individual. There are 4 charts, two for the upright position and two for the aero position, depending upon how you race.

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

At which point or points does the pendulum have the greatest kinetic energy?

Daniel [21]

At the lowest point of its motion, kinetic energy is maximum and potential energy is minimum. This is where the velocity is a maximum. At the highest point of its motion, kinetic energy is minimum (i.e. zero) and potential energy is maximum.
