Answer:

Deposition

Explanation:

deposition is a physical process in which debris in the form of soil, rocks etc are added to some landform . This process is carried out by wind, water( river ) or ice- river (glacier). When their movement is stopped , they become unable

to bear their weight and deposit them on the bed.

An electron of mass 9.11x10^-31 kg has an initial speed of 2.40x10^5 m/s. It travels in a straight line, and its speed increases

egoroff_w [7]

Answer: A) Force = 3.841*10^-18 N.

B) force (f) is 4.30* 10^12 times greater than the weight (Fg).

Explanation: mass of electronic charge = 9.11*10^-31kg

v = final velocity = 6.80*10^5 m/s

u = initial velocity = 2.40 * 10^5 m/s

S= distance covered = 4.8cm = 0.048m

a = acceleration

Since the acceleration of the electron is assumed to be constant, newton's laws of motion are valid.

Thus, recall that

v² = u² + 2aS

(6.80*10^5)² = ( 2.40*10^5)² + 2*a( 0.048)

46.24 * 10^10 = 5.76 * 10^10 + 0.096a

46.24 *10^10 - 5.76* 10^10 = 0.096a

40.48* 10^10 = 0.096a

a = 40.48 * 10^10/0.096

a = 4.2167*10^12m/s².

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 9.11*10^-31 * 4.2167*10^12

Force = 3.841*10^-18 N.

Weight =Fg= mg where g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8m/s²

Fg= 9.11*10^-31 * 9.8

Fg = 8.9278* 10^-30 N

By comparing the force and the weight, we have that

F/Fg = 3.841 * 10^-18/8.9278 * 10^-30 = 4.30* 10^12.

This implies that the force (f) is 4.30* 10^12 times greater than the weight (Fg).

How long does it take light to travel 850 km in a vacuum? Answer in ms.(Express your answer to two significant figures.)

poizon [28]

Answer:

0.002833 sec

Explanation:

Speed of light in vacuum is $3\times 10^{8}m/sec$

Given distance = 850 km = 850×1000=850000 m

We have to calculate the time that light take to travel the distance 850 km

Time $T=\frac{distance }{speed}=\frac{850000}{3\times 10^8}=2.833\times 10^{-3}sec$

So the time taken by light to travel 850 km is 0.002833 sec

A machine is designed to fill jars with 16 ounces of coffee. A consumer suspects that the machine is not filling the jars comple

babunello [35]

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 16$

Alternative hypothesis : $\mu$

b) $t=\frac{15.6-16}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{8}}}=-3.77$

$p_v =P(t_{(7)}$

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.1$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

c) We can conclude that the mean is significantly less than 16 ounces at 10% of significance. so then the consumer suspect is correct.

Explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X=15.6$ represent the mean for the sample

$s=0.3$ represent the sample standard deviation

$n=8$ sample size

$\mu_o =16$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.1$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Is a one tailed left test.

What are H0 and Ha for this study?

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 16$

Alternative hypothesis : $\mu$

The degrees of freedom on this case are:

$df=n-1=8-1=7$

Compute the test statistic

The statistic for this case is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{15.6-16}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{8}}}=-3.77$

Give the appropriate conclusion for the test

Since is a one side left tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(t_{(7)}$

Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.1$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

We can conclude that the mean is significantly less than 16 ounces at 10% of significance. so then the consumer suspect is correct.

The sun produces large amounts of energy. By what process does the sun produce energy?

AlladinOne [14]

The sun produces energy by converting gravitational potential energy into radiation via quantum processes in the nucleus of the atoms.

Since the mass of the sun and it's temperature are not quite enough to generate nuclear FUSION on their own, quantum tunneling is the primary process by which nuclear fusion occurs in our sun, SOL. FISSION also occurs as a result of this fusion.

Additionally, gravitational potential energy is also the reason that supernovae are so bright. Cool!

The earth spins on its axis once a day and orbits the sun once a year (365 1/4 days). Determine the average angular velocity (in

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Given that

The earth spins on its axis once a day and orbits the sun once a year (365 1/4 days)

When earth spins on its axis

We know that earth take 1 day to complete one revolution around its own axis.

T= 1 day = 24 hr = 24 x 3600 s

T=86400 s

We know that

T=2π/ω

ω= 2π/T

ω= 2π/86400

ω=7.27 x 10⁻5 rad/s

When earth revolve around earth

T =365 1/4 days = 365.25 days

T= 365.24 x 86400 s

T=31557600

We know that

T=2π/ω

ω= 2π/T

ω= 2π/31557600

ω=1.99 x 10⁻⁷ rad/s
