A spring is 14cm long. Three masses are hung from it and then it is measured again. Now it is 19.5cm long. What force did the th

ree masses provide? The spring constant for the spring is 30N/m.

Answer:

Gravity

Explanation:

The answer is gravity because when the 3 masses were hung from the spring, gravity pulled the spring towards the ground.

g (12 points) The time between incoming phone calls at a call center is a random variable with exponential density p(x) = 1 r e
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

(1)p(x)\geq 0\\(2)\int_{0}^{\infty} p(x) dx=0

Explanation:

A function f(x) is a Probability Density Function if it satisfies the following conditions:

(1)f(x)\geq 0\\(2)\int_{0}^{\infty} f(x) dx=0

Given the function:

p(x)=\dfrac{1}{r}e^{-x/r} \: on\: [0,\infty), where\:r=\dfrac{20}{ln(2)}

(1)p(x) is greater than zero since the range of exponents of the Euler's number will lie in [0,\infty).

(2)

\int_{0}^{\infty} p(x)=\int_{0}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{r}e^{-x/r}\\=\dfrac{1}{r} \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-x/r}\\=-\dfrac{r}{r}\left[e^{-x/r}\right]_{0}^{\infty}\\=-\left[e^{-\infty/r}-e^{-0/r}\right]\\=-e^{-\infty}+e^{-0}\\SInce \: e^{-\infty} \rightarrow 0\\e^{-0}=1\\\int_{0}^{\infty} p(x)=1

The function p(x) satisfies the conditions for a probability density function.

The speed of propagation of the action potential (an electrical signal) in a nerve cell depends (inversely) on the diameter of t
zysi [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed of electrical nerve signal = 33 m /s

Distance travelled = 1.3 m

time taken = distance / speed

= 1.3 / 33  

= .039 s

= 39 ms ( millisecond )  .

A projectile is fired with an initial velocity of 120.0 meters per second at an angle, θ above the horizontal. If the projectile
k0ka [10]

Answer:

θ = 62.72°

Explanation:

The projectile describes a parabolic path:

The parabolic movement results from the composition of a uniform rectilinear motion (horizontal ) and a uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion of upward or downward motion (vertical ).

The equation of uniform rectilinear motion (horizontal ) for the x axis is :

x = x₀+ vx*t   Formula (1)

vx = v₀x

Where:  

x: horizontal position in meters (m)

x₀: initial horizontal position in meters (m)

t : time (s)

vx: horizontal velocity  in m/s

v₀x: Initial speed in x  in m/s

The equations of uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion of upward (vertical ) for the y axis  are:

y= y₀+(v₀y)*t - (1/2)*g*t² Formula (2)

vfy= v₀y -gt Formula (3)

Where:  

y: vertical position in meters (m)  

y₀ : initial vertical position in meters (m)  

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀y: initial  vertical velocity  in m/s  

vfy: final  vertical velocity  in m/s  

g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Data

v₀ = 120 m/s  , at an angle  θ above the horizontal

v₀x= 55 m/s

x-y components of the initial  velocity ( v₀)

v₀x = v₀*cosθ Equation (1)

v₀y = v₀*sinθ   Equation (2)

Calculating of the angle θ

We replace data in the  Equation (1)

55 =  120*cosθ

cosθ = 55 / 120

\theta = cos^{-1}(  \frac{55}{120} )

θ = 62.72°

An object is released from rest and falls a distance h during the first second of time. How far will it fall during the next sec
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

E. 3h

Explanation:

We know that

u = 0 m/s.

velocity after t = 1s

v = u+gt = 0+9.81 x 1s= 9.81 m/s

distance covered in 1st sec

= =>> ut+0.5 x g x t²

=>>0 + 0.5x 9.81 x 1 = 4.90m

Let 4.90 be h

distance travelled in 2nd second will now be used

So velocity after t = 1s

=>>1 x t+ 0.5 x g x t²

=>9.81x 1 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 1 = 3 x 4.90

So since h= 4.90

Then the ans is 3x h = 3h
