That's a formula that shows the relationship between three quantities ...
weight, mass, and acceleration.  If you know any two of them, then you
can use this formula to find the one you don't know.

Examples:

==>  I have a rock with 2 kilograms of mass.
        The gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s² .
        How much does my rock weigh on Earth ?

         Weight = (mass) x (grav acceleration)
                      = (2 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)
                                                       =  19.6 newtons
                                                  (about 4.41 pounds)

==>  My brother weighs 770 newtons (about 173 pounds) on Earth.
         What is his mass ?

                               Weight = (mass) x (grav acceleration)

                               770 newtons = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)
Divide each side
by 9.8 m/s²:           770 newtons / 9.8 m/s² = mass

                                        78.57 kilograms = mass

==> When I went to the Moon, I took along my 2-kilogram rock.
         I weighed my rock on the Moon. 
         It weighs 3.25 newtons  (about 0.73 pound) there.
         What is the gravitational acceleration on the Moon ?

                                   Weight = (mass) x (grav acceleration)

                                   3.25 newtons = (2 kg) x (acceleration)

Divide each side
by  2 kilograms:        (3.25 newtons)/(2 kg)  =  acceleration

                                    1.63 m/s² = grav acceleration on the Moon

<h3>Question:5</h3>

The given data can be written in following way in coordinates axes.

(0,0), (2,2), (4,4), (6,4), (8,4), (10,6),(12,4), (14, 2).

a) Average velocity for first 4 seconds

Average velocity = Total Displacement/ Time taken

= (4-0)/(4 - 0)

=4/4

= 1/1

<h3> =1 m/s</h3>

b) Average velocity for 4 to 8 seconds

Average velocity = Total Displacement/ Time taken

= (4 - 4)/(8-4)

= 0/4

<h3> = 0</h3>

c) Average velocity for last 6 seconds

Last 6 seconds = from 8 to 14 seconds

Average velocity = Total Displacement/Time taken

= (2 - 4)/(14 - 8)

= -2/6

<h3> = -1/3 m/s</h3>

<h3>Question 6:</h3>

The given data can be written in following way in coordinates axes.

(0,0), (10,20), (20,20), (30,20), (40,0)

a) State the kind of motion from Os to 10s and from 30s to 40s

It is obvious from the graph that the velocity between Os to 10s has been increased from 0 m/s to 20m/s. Hence there is a uniform Acceleration in the body.

b) What is the velocity of the body after 10s and 40s ?

It is clear from the graph and table as well that,

<h3>Velocity after 10s is 20m/s</h3>

and

<h3>Velocity after 40s is 0 m/s</h3>

c) Calculate the distance covered by the body between 10s to 30s.

Distance covered by the body between 10s to 30s will be given by area of rectangle ABCD

Area of rectangle ABCD= (30 - 10) × (20 - O)

=20×20

<h3> = 400 m</h3>

Use technology and the given confidence level and sample data to find the confidence interval for the population mean muμ. Assum
Ronch [10]

Answer:

a.  μ_{95%} = 3 ± 1.8 = [1.2,4.8]

b. The correct answer is option D. No, because the sample size is large enough.

Explanation:

a. The population mean can be determined using a confidence interval which is made up of a point estimate from a given sample and the calculation error margin. Thus:

μ_{95%} = x_±(t*s)/sqrt(n)

where:

μ_{95%} = = is the 95% confidence interval estimate

x_ = mean of the sample = 3

s = standard deviation of the sample = 5.8

n = size of the sample = 41

t = the t statistic for 95% confidence and 40 (n-1) degrees of freedom = 2.021

substituting all the variable, we have:

μ_{95%} = 3 ± (2.021*5.8)/sqrt(41) = 3 ± 1.8 = [1.2,4.8]

b. The correct answer is option D. No, because the sample size is large enough.

Using the the Central Limit Theorem which states that regardless of the distribution shape of the underlying population, a sampling distribution of size which is ≥ 30 is normally distributed.
