svp [43]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Part a: The average speed is 24.12 m/s

Part b: The rms speed is 25.55 m/s

Part c: The most probable speed is 17 m/s.

Explanation:

Part a

Average Speed

<em>Average speed is given as </em>

<em />v_{avg}=\frac{\sum}{n}

v_{avg}=\frac{(2 \times 11) +(7 \times 17)+(4 \times 19)+(3 \times 27) +(6 \times 32) +(1 \times 33)+(2 \times 40)  }{25}\\v_{avg}=\frac{22+119+76+81+192+33+80}{25}\\v_{avg}=\frac{603}{25}\\v_{avg}=24.12 m/s

So the average speed is 24.12 m/s

Part b

RMS Speed

v_{rms}=\frac{\sum v^2}{n}

v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{(2 \times 11^2) +(7 \times 17^2)+(4 \times 19^2)+(3 \times 27^2) +(6 \times 32^2) +(1 \times 33^2)+(2 \times 40^2)  }{25}} \\v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{242+2023+1444+2187+6144+1089+3200}{25}}\\\\v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{16329}{25}}\\v_{rms}=\sqrt{653.16}\\v_{rms}=25.55 m/s

So the rms speed is 25.55 m/s

Part c

Most Probable Speed

As 7 particles have speed of 17 m/s i.e. 7 is the highest frequency so 17 m/s is the most probable speed.

A wire 6.90 m long with diameter of 2.15 mm has a resistance of 0.0320 Ω. Find the resistivity of the material of the wire. rho
spayn [35]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

1.68 x 10⁻⁸Ωm

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The resistance (R) of a wire is related to its length(L), its material resistivity(ρ) and its crossectional area(A) as follows;

R = ρL/A               ------------------------(i)

Where;

A = πd² / 4              [where d = diameter of the wire]

From the question;

L = 6.90m

d = 2.15mm = 0.00215m

R = 0.0320Ω

First calculate the crossectional area (A) of the wire as follows;

A = πd² / 4      

[Take π = 3.142]

d = 0.00215m

∴ A = 3.142 x (0.00215)² / 4

∴ A = 0.000003631m²

Now, substitute the values of A, L, and R into equation (i) as follows;

R = ρL/A

0.0320 = ρ x 6.90 / 0.000003631

0.0320 = 1900302.95 x ρ

Solve for ρ;

=> ρ = 0.0320 / 1900302.95

=> ρ = 1.68 x 10⁻⁸Ωm

Therefore, the resistivity of the material of the wire is 1.68 x 10⁻⁸Ωm

Which term below best matches this definition - a period in European history when many educated people stressed the importance o
german

Answer:

The Enlightenment.

Explanation:

The Enlightenment took place during the eighteen century and it typically involved a period of philosophical, cultural and intellectual movement in which ideas on nature, reason, humanity and God were emphasized on greatly over science and superstition through meetings that were held at coffeeshops, scientific academies, literary salons, masonic lodges, etc. Some of the influential philosophers of the enlightenment were Adam Smith, John Locke, Jean Jacques Rousseau, David Hume, Baruch Spinoza, Montesquieu, Hugo Grotius, Denis Diderot, Gottfried Wilhelm, Cesare Beccaria, Immanuel Kant etc. The enlightenment was also known as the age of reason or the age of enlightenment.

Hence, the enlightenment was a period in European history when many educated people stressed the importance of learning and reasoning; education was considered the key to understanding and solving society's problems.

HOW DOES A GRAPH HELP YOU SEE ANOMALOUS DATA?
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Anomalies consist of one or more modifications, insertions or deletions. As was described in Section 3.1, there are only three types of changes that can be made to a graph. Therefore, anomalies that consist of structural changes to a graph must consist of one of these types. Assumption 4.
