Answer:

See explanation for step by step explanations.

Explanation:

Let X be the mass of a randomly selected resistor

The probability density function is given as

, 80<x<120

=0, otherwise

a) By using the given pdf we have to find the probability of the resistors having resistance less than 90

=

=

=0.0625

the probability of the resistors having resistance less than 90 is 0.0625

Step 2 of 4<

/p>

b) we have to find the mean resistance

Mean=

=

=

=106.67

The mean resistance is 106.67

A mass weighing 4 lb stretches a spring 2 in. Suppose that the mass is given an additional 6-in displacement in the positive dir

givi [52]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{8} y'' + 2y' + 24y=0$

Explanation:

The standard form of the 2nd order differential equation governing the motion of mass-spring system is given by

$my'' + \zeta y' + ky=0$

Where m is the mass, ζ is the damping constant, and k is the spring constant.

The spring constant k can be found by

$w - kL=0$

$mg - kL=0$

$4 - k\frac{1}{6}=0$

$k = 4\times 6 =24$

The damping constant can be found by

$F = -\zeta y'$

$6 = 3\zeta$

$\zeta = \frac{6}{3} = 2$

Finally, the mass m can be found by

$w = 4$

$mg=4$

$m = \frac{4}{g}$

Where g is approximately 32 ft/s²

$m = \frac{4}{32} = \frac{1}{8}$

Therefore, the required differential equation is

$my'' + \zeta y' + ky=0$

$\frac{1}{8} y'' + 2y' + 24y=0$

The initial position is

$y(0) = \frac{1}{2}$

The initial velocity is

$y'(0) = 0$

A horse running at 3 m/s speeds up with a constant acceleration of 5 m/s2. How fast is the

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The horse is going at 12.72 m/s speed.

Explanation:

The initial speed of the horse (u) = 3 m/s

The acceleration of the horse (a)= 5 m/ $s^{2}$

The displacement( it is assumed it is moving in a straight line)(s)= 15.3 m

Applying the second equation of motion to find out the time,

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

$15.3=3t+2.5t^{2}$

$2.5t^{2}+3t-15.3=0$

Solving this quadratic equation, we get time(t)=1.945 s, the other negative time is neglected.

Now applying first equation of motion, to find out the final velocity,

$v=u+at$

$v=3+1.945*5$

$v=3+9.72$

v=12.72 m/s

The horse travels at a speed of 12.72 m/s after covering the given distance.

Which law describes how the Earth applies a gravitational force on the Moon, the Moon applies a gravitational force on Earth? *

nikdorinn [45]

The answer is Newton's 3rd Law. The reason why is because a force is a push or a pull that acts upon an object as a results of its interaction with another object. ... These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject ofNewton's third law of motion. Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

X =(3.00x4.00 x3-1.00t x 2.00) x m

x= (12.00x3- 1.00 x2.00) x m
x= 36.00 -1.00 x 2.00) x m
x = (36.00 -2.00) x m
x =( 34.00) x m
