Answer:

B. 22,22,23,23,22,22,23

Explanation:

The standard deviation is a measure of dispersion or variability of a data set. In order to determine the data set that has the smallest standard deviation, we shall investigate on the ranges of the data sets given. The range of a data set is simply the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a data set. A data set that has a smaller range also has a smaller standard deviation.

From the alternatives given, the data set given by alternative B has the smallest range and consequently the smallest standard deviation.

The maximum value is 23 while the minimum is 22. The range is 1.

Answer:

a = 603.59 m/s^2

Explanation:

from the data given . the rate of change in magnetic field is as follow

$\frac{dB}{dt} = 280 G/s = 280 \times 10^{-4} T/s$

from the faraday's law of induction , the expression for the induced emf in region of radius r as follow

$\epsilon = \frac{d \phi}{dt}$

$\int E.dl = \frac{d(BA)}{dt}$

$E(2\pi r)= \pi r^2 \frac{dB}{dt}$

$E = \frac{r}{2} \frac{dB}{dt}$

electric field at point P_1 as follow

$E = \frac{r}{2} \frac{dB}{dt}$

$E = \frac{1.5\times 10^{-2}}{2} 280 \times 10^{-4}$

$E = 6.3\times 10^{-6} V/m$

from newton 2nd law of motion, the acceleration of proton is

F = ma

qE = ma

$a = \frac{qE}{m}$

$a = \frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19} (6.3\times 10^{-6})}{1.67\times 10^{-27}}$

a = 603.59 m/s^2

Asteroids are between 1000 km and less than 10 m in diameter. What is the diameter of most asteroids?

e-lub [12.9K]

This question needs research to be answered. From the given information alone it can't be answered without making wild assumptions.

Ideally, you need to take a look at a distribution (or a histogram) of asteroid diameters, identify the "mode" of such a distribution, and find the corresponding diameter. That value will be the answer.

I am attaching one such histogram on asteroid diameters from the IRAS asteroid catalog I could find online. (In order to get a single histogram, you need to add the individual curves in the figure first). Eyeballing this sample, I'd say the mode is somewhere around 10km, so the answer would be: the diameter of most asteroid from the IRAS asteroid catalog is about 10km.

A 500.-kg roller coaster car starts from rest at the top of a 60.0-meter hill.

Paraphin [41]

1.47x10^5 Joules
The gravitational potential energy will be the mass of the object, multiplied by the height upon which it can drop, multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration. And since it started at the top of a 60.0 meter hill, halfway will be at 30.0 meters. So
500 kg * 30.0 m * 9.8 m/s^2 = 147000 kg*m^2/s^ = 147000 Joules.
Using scientific notation and 3 significant figures gives 1.47x10^5 Joules.
