Determine the number of ways to throw two die and get the number 11, as well as the probability of getting 11.
1 answer:
Answer:
1/18
Explanation:
The number of ways in which two die can be thrown is the sample space of the experiment
(1,1), (1,2) (1,3), (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)
(2,1), (2,2) (2,3), (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)
(3,1), (3,2) (3,3), (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)
(4,1), (4,2) (4,3), (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)
(5,1), (5,2) (5,3), (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)
(6,1), (6,2) (6,3), (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)
From here it can be seen that there are only two cases where the sum on the two die is 11 i.e., (6,5) and (5,6)
∴ Probability of getting 11 is<u> 1/18</u>

Answer:
Explanation:
For the simple pendulum problem we need to remember that:
,
where is the angular position, t is time, g is the gravity, and L is the length of the pendulum. We also need to remember that there is a relationship between the angular frequency and the length of the pendulum:
,
where is the angular frequency.
There is also an equation that relates the oscillation period and the angular frequeny:
,
where T is the oscillation period. Now, we can easily solve for L:
