The sound intensity of a certain type of food processor in normally distributed with standard deviation of 2.9 decibels. If the

Maru [420]

Answer: $(48.41,\ 52.19)$

Explanation:

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

$\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Given : Sample size : $n=9$

Sample mean : $\ovreline{x}=50.3\text{ decibels}$

Standard deviation : $\sigma=2.9\text{ decibels }$

Significance level : $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$

Critical value : $z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96$

Now, the 95% confidence interval estimate of the (true, unknown) mean sound intensity of all food processors of this type :-

$50.3\pm (1.96)\dfrac{2.9}{\sqrt{9}}\\\\\approx50.3\pm1.89\\\\=(50.3-1.89,\ 50.3+1.89)=(48.41,\ 52.19)$

The propeller of a WW2 fighter plane is 2.35 m in diameter

Studentka2010 [4]

A) 1 rev = 2π rad. Using this ratio, you can find the rad/s: 1160 rev/min x 2π rad/rev x 1 min/60 s = 121.5 rad/s

b) You can find linear speed from angular speed using this equation (note the radius is half the diameter given in the question): v = ωr = 121.5 rad/s x 1.175 m = 142.8 m/s

c) You can find centripetal acceleration using this equation: a = v^2/r = (142.8 m/s)^2 / 1.175 m = 17 355 m/s^2

Can a body have zero velocity and finite acceleration?Explain

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Kinda? Depends what the question is fully asking

Explanation:

Acceleration is a change in velocity. So I guess if the velocity of something is -2 m/s and its positively accelerating at a value of +1 m/s, then that means every second its velocity changes by +1m/s.

So that -2 m/s thing after one second will be going -1 m/s.

After another second it'll be going 0 m/s.

After another itll be going +1 m/s and so on.

So at one point for a brief moment, it can have an acceleration but be at 0 m/s velocity.

A positive charge +q1 is located to the left of a negative charge -q2. On a line passing through the two charges, there are two

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

please the answer below

Explanation:

(a) If we assume that our origin of coordinates is at the position of charge q1, we have that the potential in both points is

$V_1=k\frac{q_1}{r-1.0}-k\frac{q_2}{1.0}=0\\\\V_2=k\frac{q_1}{r+5.2}-k\frac{q_2}{5.2}=0\\\\$

k=8.89*10^9

For both cases we have

$k\frac{q_1}{r-1.0}=k\frac{q_2}{1.0}\\\\q_1(1.0)=q_2(r-1.0)\\\\r=\frac{q_1+q_2}{q_2}\\\\k\frac{q_1}{r+5.2}=k\frac{q_2}{5.2}\\\\q_1(5.2)=q_2(r+5.2)\\\\r=\frac{5.2q_1-5.2q_2}{q_2}$

(b) by replacing this values of r in the expression for V we obtain

$k\frac{q_1}{\frac{5.2(q_1-q_2)}{q_2}+5.2}=k\frac{q_2}{5.2}\\\\\frac{q_1}{q_2}=\frac{(q_1-q_2)}{q_2}-1.0=\frac{q_1-q_2-q_2}{q_2}=\frac{q_1-2q_2}{q_2}$

hope this helps!!

Consider an optical cavity of length 40 cm. Assume the refractive index is 1, and use the formula for Icavity vs wavelength to p

Bad White [126]

Answer:

Diode Lasers

Consider a InGaAsP-InP laser diode which has an optical cavity of length 250

microns. The peak radiation is at 1550 nm and the refractive index of InGaAsP is

4. The optical gain bandwidth (as measured between half intensity points) will

normally depend on the pumping current (diode current) but for this problem

assume that it is 2 nm.

(a) What is the mode integer m of the peak radiation?

(b) What is the separation between the modes of the cavity? Please express your

answer as Δλ.

(c) How many modes are within the gain band of the laser?

(d) What is the reflection coefficient and reflectance at the ends of the optical

cavity (faces of the InGaAsP crystal)?

(e) The beam divergence full angles are 20° in y-direction and 5° in x-direction

respectively. Estimate the x and y dimensions of the laser cavity. (Assume the

beam is a Gaussian beam with the waist located at the output. And the beam

waist size is approximately the x-y dimensions of the cavity.)

Solution:

(a) The wavelength λ of a cavity mode and length L are related by

λ = , where m is the mode number, and n is the refractive index.

So the mode integer of the peak radiation is
