Answer:

b.)Electrons leave the negative battery terminal and electrons enter the positive terminal.

Explanation:

- First of all, the carriers of charge in an electrical circuit are the electrons, not the protons. In fact, electrons in a conductor (such as the copper wire) are free to move, while protons are bond inside the nuclei of the atoms, so they are not free to move. This means that only choices a) and b) could be correct.

- Finally, we know that charges with same sign repel each other, while charges with opposite sign attract each other. This means that electrons are repelled by the negative terminal of the battery and attracted by the positive terminal of the battery. Therefore, the correct choice must be

b.)Electrons leave the negative battery terminal and electrons enter the positive terminal.

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 acceleration due to gravity on the Moon's surface is
Molodets [167]

Answer:

50 lb

Explanation:

Given,

The weight of astronaut's life support backpack on Earth (w) = 300 lb

Acceleration due to gravity on Earth (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity on Moon = g'

g'=\frac{g}{6}

We know that weight of an object on Earth is,

w = m\times g

m = \frac{w}{g}

Similarly, weight on Moon will be

w' = m\times g'

w' = \frac{w}{g}\times\frac{g}{6}

w' = \frac{300}{6}

w' = 50

Thus the astronaut's life support backpack will weigh 50 lb on Moon.
