Answer:

People were particularly motivated by one of the candidates

Explanation:

The voter turnout in 2008 spiked because people were particularly motivated by Barrack Obama. His running for presidential position represented a <em>"generational change."</em> So, this means that many of the voters, especially the African-Americans ages 18 to 25 years old became interested in registering in order to vote.

Such kind of voter turnout spike is said to have also occurred during the candidacy of John F. Kennedy, where the voter turnout was<em> 62.8 percent.</em> This was because Kennedy was a <em>charismatic leader</em> who also represented a <u>generational change</u>.

So, this explains the answer.

To answer this question, suppose that each vehicle is moving at 7.69 m/s and that they undergo a perfectly inelastic head-on col
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Force(F) = -80,955.01 N

Explanation:

We need to first determine the impulse that the truck driver received from the car during the collision

So; m₁v₁ - m₂v₂ = (m₁m₂)v₀

where;

m₁ = mass of the truck = 4280 kg

v₁ = v₂ =  speed of the each vehicle = 7.69 m/s

m₂ = mass of the car = 810 kg

Substituting our data; we have:

(4280×7.69) - (810×7.69) = (4280+810)v₀

32913.2 - 6228.9 = (5090)v₀

26684.1 =  (5090)v₀

v₀ = \frac{26684.1}{5090}

v₀ = 5.25 m/s

NOW, Impulse on the truck = m (v₀ - v)

= 4280 × (5.25 - 7.69)

= 4280 ×  (-2.44)

= -10,443.2 kg. m/s

Force that the seat belt exert on the truck driver can be calculated as:

Impulse = Force × Time

-10,443.2 kg. m/s = F (0.129)

F = \frac{-10,443.2}{0.129}

Force(F) = -80,955.01 N

Thus, the Force that the seat belt exert on the truck driver = -80,955.01 N

Why do the compass needles change direction when the electric current is Flowing
zhenek [66]

Explanation:

Since compasses work by pointing along magnetic field lines, this means that there must be a magnetic field near the wire through which the current is flowing.

Which experiment has a non-uniform probability model? Select two answers. A. Tossing a fair coin one time B. Randomly guessing t
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

C and D

Explanation:

A uniform probability model is a probabilistic model characterized by a uniform probability density function, or uniform distribution.

In common language, a uniform probability distribution means that all possible outcomes in the probability space have the same probability of occurrence.

So:

- A fair toss of coin every possible outcome (H,T) has probability 0.5. It is modeled by by a uniform discrete distribution.

- Randomly selected answer to an MCQ with four options would have probability of success 0.25 for every MCQ. It is modeled by by a uniform discrete distribution.  

- Spinning a spinner with sections that are different sizes, each section would have different probabilities proportional to the coverage area on the. It is modeled by a non-uniform discrete distribution

- Pulling a red marble out of a bag with 6 red marbles, 3 green marbles, and 1 yellow marble. Each successive time a red marble is drawn the probability decreases. Hence, non uniform distribution.

- Spinning a spinner on which all sections are the same size. Each section would have similar probabilities proportional to the coverage area on the. It is modeled by a uniform discrete distribution .
