Using energy considerations and assuming negligible air resistance, show that a rock thrown from a bridge 20.0 m above water wit

h an initial speed of 15.0 m/s strikes the water with a speed of 24.8 m/s independent of the direction thrown. (Hint: show that $$K_i + U_i = K_f + U_f)$$

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the bridge is 20m

Initial before he throws the rock

The height is hi = 20 m

Then, final height hitting the water

hf = 0 m

Initial speed the rock is throw

Vi = 15m/s

The final speed at which the rock hits the water

Vf = 24.8 m/s

Using conservation of energy given by the question hint

Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf

Where

Ki is initial kinetic energy

Ui is initial potential energy

Kf is final kinetic energy

Uf is final potential energy

Then,

Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf

Where

Ei = Ki + Ui

Where Ei is initial energy

Ei = ½mVi² + m•g•hi

Ei = ½m × 15² + m × 9.8 × 20

Ei = 112.5m + 196m

Ei = 308.5m J

Now,

Ef = Kf + Uf

Ef = ½mVf² + m•g•hf

Ef = ½m × 24.8² + m × 9.8 × 0

Ef = 307.52m + 0

Ef = 307.52m J

Since Ef ≈ Ei, then the rock thrown from the tip of a bridge is independent of the direction of throw

An electron moves at 0.130 c as shown in the figure (Figure 1). There are points: A, B, C, and D 2.10 μm from the electron.
Olegator [25]

Hi there!

We can use Biot-Savart's Law for a moving particle:
B= \frac{\mu_0 }{4\pi}\frac{q\vec{v}\times \vec{r}}{r^2 }

B = Magnetic field strength (T)
v = velocity of electron (0.130c = 3.9 × 10⁷ m/s)

q = charge of particle (1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)

μ₀ = Permeability of free space (4π × 10⁻⁷ Tm/A)

r = distance from particle (2.10 μm)

There is a cross product between the velocity vector and the radius vector (not a quantity, but specifies a direction). We can write this as:

B= \frac{\mu_0 }{4\pi}\frac{q\vec{v} \vec{r}sin\theta}{r^2 }

Where 'θ' is the angle between the velocity and radius vectors.

a)
To find the angle between the velocity and radius vector, we find the complementary angle:

θ = 90° - 60° = 30°

Plugging 'θ' into the equation along with our other values:

B= \frac{\mu_0 }{4\pi}\frac{q\vec{v} \vec{r}sin\theta}{r^2 }\\\\B= \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})}{4\pi}\frac{(1.6*10^{-19})(3.9*10^{7}) \vec{r}sin(30)}{(2.1*10^{-5})^2 }

B = \boxed{7.07 *10^{-10} T}

b)
Repeat the same process. The angle between the velocity and radius vector is 150°, and its sine value is the same as that of sin(30°). So, the particle's produced field will be the same as that of part A.

c)

In this instance, the radius vector and the velocity vector are perpendicular so

'θ' = 90°.

B= \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})}{4\pi}\frac{(1.6*10^{-19})(3.9*10^{7}) \vec{r}sin(90)}{(2.1*10^{-5})^2 } = \boxed{1.415 * 10^{-9}T}

d)
This point is ALONG the velocity vector, so there is no magnetic field produced at this point.

Aka, the radius and velocity vectors are parallel, and since sin(0) = 0, there is no magnetic field at this point.

\boxed{B = 0 T}

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
