Answer:

Explanation:

solid

This type of matter is know as solid. Also, it is known that solid substances have definite shape and volume. Thus, we can conclude that a substance with a definite shape and volume is a solid phase of matter.

A 24 kg rock is resting on the floor. How much potential energy does it have?

nikitadnepr [17]

Relative to the floor it's resting on, its height is zero,
so its potential energy is zero.

Relative to the next floor down, its height could be
three or four meters, and it could have plenty of
potential energy ... if you cut out a circle in the floor
all around the rock, and let it fall to next floor down,
it could really do some damage. Look out below ! !

A girl drops a pebble from a high cliff into a lake far below. She sees the splash of the pebble hitting the water 2.00s later.

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

19.62 ms

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 2 s

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² (downward direction is taken as positive)

Equation of motion

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+9.81\times 2\\\Rightarrow v=19.62\ m/s$

The speed of the pebble when it hit the water is 19.62 ms

Scientists treat the number of stars in a given volume of space as a Poisson random variable. The density of our galaxy in the v

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

$P(X\ge 1) = 0.9502$

Explanation:

Given

Density = 3 starts in 10 cubic light years.

Required

Determine the probability of 1 or more in 10 cubic light years

Since the number of stars follow a Poisson distribution, we make use of:

$P(X=k) = f(x) = (\lambda T)^k\frac{ e^{-\lambda T}}{k!}$

$\lambda = density$

$\lambda = \frac{3}{10}$

$\lambda = 0.3$

T = the light years

$T = 10$

Calculating $P(X \ge 1)$

In probability:

$P(X \ge 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

Calculating P(X=0)

Substitute 0 for k and the values for $\lambda$ and T in

$P(X=k) = f(x) = (\lambda T)^k\frac{ e^{-\lambda T}}{k!}$

$P(X=0) = (0.3* 10)^0 * \frac{ e^{-0.3 * 10}}{0!}$

$P(X=0) = (3)^0 * \frac{ e^{-0.3 * 10}}{1}$

$P(X=0) = (3)^0 * e^{-0.3 * 10}$

$P(X=0) = 1 * e^{-0.3 * 10}$

$P(X=0) = 1 * e^{-3}$

$P(X=0) = e^{-3}$

$P(X=0) = 0.04979$

Substitute 0.04979 for P(X=0) in $P(X \ge 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

$P(X\ge 1) = 1 - 0.04979$

$P(X\ge 1) = 0.95021$

$P(X\ge 1) = 0.9502$ --- approximated

<em>Hence, the required probability is 0.9502</em>

Explain what is meant by density of a substance is 1g/mx3

Andrews [41]

Answer:

Density, mass of a unit volume of a material substance. The formula for density is d = M/V, where d is density, M is mass, and V is volume. Density is commonly expressed in units of grams per cubic centimetre. ... Density can also be expressed as kilograms per cubic metre (in metre-kilogram-second or SI units).

The density of water is about 1 g/cm3, since the gram was originally defined as the mass of one cubic centimetre of water at its maximum density at 4 °C.
