The volume of the balloon will halve

Explanation:

Boyle's law states that for an ideal gas kept at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is proportional to its volume. Mathematically,

$pV=const.$

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume

The equation can also be rewritten as

$p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2$

And if we apply it to the gas inside the balloon in this problem (assuming its temperature is constant), we have:

$p_1 = 101 kPa$ is the initial pressure at sea level (the atmospheric pressure)

$V_1$ is the initial volume

$p_2 = 202 kPa$ is the final pressure

$V_2$ is the final volume

Substituting into the equation, we find:

$V_2 = \frac{p_1 V_1}{p_2}=\frac{(101)V_1}{202}=\frac{V_1}{2}$

Which means that the volume of the balloon will halve.

Gre4nikov [31]

Explanation:

Velocity = displacement / time

v = √((58 m)² + (135 m)²) / (12 min × 60 s/min)

v = 0.20 m/s

Would the springs inside a bathroom scale be more compressed or less compressed if you weighed yourself in an elevator that was

Ber [7]

More compressed. moving up = apparent weight (i.e., your norma force) is greater. this means you’ll weighr more and push those springs down even more than you would at rest.

You plan to take your hair blower to europe, where the electrical outlets put out 240 v instead of the 120 v seen in the united

Eddi Din [679]

P = U × I
I = P / U = 1600W / 120V = 13.4A
P = 240V × 13.4A = 3216W

If your hair blower isnt rated for 220- 230V(this is the voltage in EU) you are most likely going to burn it.

The length of aluminum rods produced by a company are approximated by a Gaussian distribution with a mean of 10 cm and a standar

ExtremeBDS [4]

Given Information:

Mean length of aluminum rods = μ = 10 cm

Standard deviation of length of aluminum rods = σ = 0.02 cm

Required Information:

a) P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = ?

b) P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = ?

Answer:

a) P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = 68.27%

b) P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = 100%

Explanation:

What is Normal Distribution?

Normal Distribution or also known as Gaussian Distribution, is a continuous probability distribution and is symmetrical around the mean. The shape of this distribution is like a bell curve and most of the data is clustered around the mean. The area under this bell shaped curve represents the probability

a) We want to find out the probability that the length of aluminum rods is between 9.98 and 10.02 cm.

$P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = P( \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} < Z < \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} )\\\\P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = P( \frac{9.98- 10}{0.02} < Z < \frac{10.02 - 10}{0.02} )\\\\P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = P( \frac{-0.02}{0.02} < Z < \frac{0.02}{0.02} )\\\\P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = P( -1 < Z < 1 )\\\\$

The z-score corresponding to -1 is 0.15866 and 1 is 0.84134

$P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = P( Z < 1 ) - P( Z < -1 ) \\\\P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = 0.84134 - 0.15866 \\\\P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = 0.6827\\\\P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = 68.27 \%$

Therefore, the probability that the length of aluminum rods is between 9.98 and 10.02 cm is 68.27%

b) We want to find out the probability that the length of aluminum rods is between 9.90 and 10.1 cm.

$P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = P( \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} < Z < \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} )\\\\P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = P( \frac{9.90- 10}{0.02} < Z < \frac{10.1 - 10}{0.02} )\\\\P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = P( \frac{-0.1}{0.02} < Z < \frac{0.1}{0.02} )\\\\P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = P( -5 < Z < 5 )\\\\$

The z-score corresponding to -5 is 0 and 5 is 1

$P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = P( Z < 5 ) - P( Z < -5 ) \\\\P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = 1 - 0 \\\\P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = 1\\\\P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = 100 \%$

Therefore, the probability that the length of aluminum rods is between 9.90 and 10.1 cm is 100%

How to use z-table?

Step 1:

In the z-table, find the two-digit number on the left side corresponding to your z-score. (e.g 1.0, 2.2, 0.5 etc.)

Step 2:

Then look up at the top of z-table to find the remaining decimal point in the range of 0.00 to 0.09. (e.g. if you are looking for 1.00 then go for 0.00 column)

Step 3:

Finally, find the corresponding probability from the z-table at the intersection of step 1 and step 2.
