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.

A 50kg boy runs at a speed of 10.0m/s and jumpsonto a cart

andriy [413]

Answer:

the mass of the cart is 150 kg

Explanation:

given,

mass of boy(m) = 50 kg

speed of boy (v)= 10 m/s

initial velocity of cart (u) = 0

final velocity of cart(V) = 2.5 m/s

mass of the cart(M) = ?

m v + M u = (m + M ) V......................(1)

50× 10 + 0 = (50 + M ) 2.5

M = $\dfrac{500}{2.5} - 50$

M = 150 Kg

hence, the mass of the cart is 150 kg

When the starter motor on a car is engaged, there is a 290 A current in the wires between the battery and the motor. Suppose the

Tema [17]

Answer:

$33.6\times10^{-4}}\text{ m}$ = 3.36 mm

Explanation:

From Ohm's law,

$V = IR$ (Voltage = Current * Resistance)

$R = \dfrac{V}{I}$

The geometric definition of resistance is

$R = \rho\dfrac{l}{A}$

where $\rho$ is the resistivity of the material, $l$ and $A$ are the length and cross-sectional area, respectively.

$A = \rho\dfrac{l}{R}$

$A = \rho\dfrac{l\timesI}{V}$

Since the wire is assumed to have a circular cross-section, its area is given by

$A = \pi\dfrac{d^2}{4}$ where $d$ is the diameter.

$\pi\dfrac{d^2}{4} = \rho\dfrac{l\timesI}{V}$

$d = \sqrt{\dfrac{4\rho l I}{\pi\times V}}$

Resistivity of copper = $1.68\times10^{-8}$ . With these and other given values,

$d = \sqrt{\dfrac{4\times1.68\times10^{-8}\times1.5\times290}{3.14\times 0.55}}$

$d = \sqrt{1128.43\times10^{-8}}$

$d = 33.6\times10^{-4} \text{ m}$

Which of the following models shows how unpredictable electrons are?

Fantom [35]

The exact location of electrons in electron shells of atoms cannot be exactly ascertained. This is why VSPER atomic models represent the position of electrons (s, p, d, & f) using the probability of where they would most be expected to be found.

Explanation:

This is because merely observing electrons changes their behavior. Remember that to observe something one has to shine light on it so it bounces back to the eye. Due to the negligible mass of electrons, mere photons of light will change their direction of movement, spin or other behaviors/properties.

Most ocean waves obtain their energy and motion from _____. the moon's gravitational attraction the sun plate movement the wind

IrinaVladis [17]

Hello!

Most ocean waves obtain their energy and motion from the wind.

Ocean waves are surface waves that move across the surface of the ocean. When wind touches the surface of the water, there is friction in the contact zone. This friction causes a drag effect, that makes wrinkles on the surface of the water. As the wrinkles get bigger, they transform into full-blown waves, and the taller the wave, the more energy it can extract from the wind, making them even bigger and to move longer distances.

Have a nice day!
