Which of the following is not true about the Global Positioning Systems (GPS)?

Physics
1 answer:
Mrrafil [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Global Positioning Systems (GPS) is a system which uses a network of satellites to construct maps. So, that it would be easy to trace location of a person, or to reach over a certain place.

It helps an individual by showing the route of destination wherever he/she wants to reach along with the total time to reach over the place.

Thus, GPS can determine the elevation of a given area and also it can determine latitude and longitude of a given area. As each GPS satellite broadcasts with a high power, narrow bandwidth, down link signal which can be received by our small hand held receiver antenna called mobile phone.

A GPS cannot determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, GPS can determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges is not true about the Global Positioning Systems (GPS).

In a large restaurant an average 60% customers ask for water with their meal. A random sample of 10 customers is selected. Find
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

a)P(6)=0.25

b)p(x

c)p(x\geq3)=0.9878

d)\sigma=\sqrt{2.4}=1.5492

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Population percentage p_\%=\60%

Sample size n=10

Let x =customers ask for water

Let y =customers dose not ask for water with their meal  

Generally the equation for y is mathematically given by

y=1-p_\%\\y=1-0.60\\y=0.40

Generally the equation for pmf p(x) is mathematically given by

P(x)=10C_x (0..6)^x(0.4)^{10-x}

a)

Generally the probability that exactly 6 ask for water is mathematically given by

P(x)6=10C_6 (0..6)^6(0.4)^{10-6}

P(6)=0.25

b)

Generally the probability that  less than 9 ask for water with meal  is mathematically given by

p(xg)

p(x

p(x

p(x

c)

Generally the probability that  at least 3 ask for water with meal  is mathematically given by

p(x\geq3)=1-p(x

p(x\geq3)=1-[p(0)+p(1)+p(2)]

p(x\geq3)=1-[0.00001+0.0015+0.0106]

p(x\geq3)=1-[0.0122]

p(x\geq3)=0.9878

d)

Generally the mean and standard deviation of sample size is mathematically given by

Mean

\=x=np=10(0.6)=6

Standard deviation

v(x)=npq=10(0.6)(0.4)=2.4

\sigma=\sqrt{2.4}=1.5492

A 75Kg man jumps from a window 1.0m above the sidewalk. If the man falls with his knees and ankles locked, the only cushion for
liq [111]

Answer:

150153.06122 N

Explanation:

m = Mass of person = 75 kg

h = Height of fall = 1 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

F = Force

s = Displacement = 0.49 cm

Potential energy is given by

P=mgh\\\Rightarrow P=75\times 9.81\times 1\\\Rightarrow P=735.75\ J

Work is given by

W=Fs\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{W}{s}\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{735.75}{0.0049}\\\Rightarrow F=150153.06122\ N

The average force exerted is 150153.06122 N
