The sound intensity of a certain type of food processor in normally distributed with standard deviation of 2.9 decibels. If the

measurements of the sound intensity of a random sample of 9 such food processors showed a sample mean of 50.3 decibels, find a 95% confidence interval estimate of the (true, unknown) mean sound intensity of all food processors of this type

Answer: (48.41,\ 52.19)

Explanation:

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Given : Sample size : n=9

Sample mean : \ovreline{x}=50.3\text{ decibels}

Standard deviation : \sigma=2.9\text{ decibels }

Significance level : \alpha=1-0.95=0.05

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96

Now, the 95% confidence interval estimate of the (true, unknown) mean sound intensity of all food processors of this type :-

50.3\pm (1.96)\dfrac{2.9}{\sqrt{9}}\\\\\approx50.3\pm1.89\\\\=(50.3-1.89,\ 50.3+1.89)=(48.41,\ 52.19)

A positively-charged object with a mass of 0.129 kg oscillates at the end of a spring, generating ELF (extremely low frequency)
9966 [12]

Answer:308 N/m

Explanation:

Given

mass\left ( m\right )=0.129 kg

wavelength\left ( \lambda \right )=3.86\times 10^7

We know frequency =\frac{c}{\lambda }=\frac{3\times 10^8}{3.86\tmes 10^7}

f=7.772 Hz

As the frequency of radio waves is same as the frequency at which object oscillates

f=\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

7.772=\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{k}{0.129}}

7.772\times 2\times \pi =\sqrt{\frac{k}{0.129}}

k=307.70\approx 308 N/m

You push a 85 kg shopping cart from rest with a net force of 250 n for 5 seconds,at which point it flies off a cliff that is 100
Vikki [24]

m = mass of the cart = 85 kg

F = net force on the cart = 250 N

a = acceleration of the cart

acceleration of the cart is given as

a = F/m

a = 250/85

a = 2.94 m/s²

t = time for which the force is applied = 5 sec

v₀ = initial velocity of the cart = 0 m/s

v = final velocity of the cart just before  it flies off the cliff = ?

using the equation

v = v₀ + a t

inserting the values

v = 0 + (2.94) (5)

v = 14.7 m/s

consider the motion of cart after it flies off the cliff in vertical direction :

v' = initial velocity in vertical direction = 0 m/s

a' = acceleration in vertical direction = g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

t' = time taken for the cart to land = ?

Y' = vertical displacement of the cart = height of cliff = 100 m

using the kinematics equation

Y' = v' t' + (0.5) a' t'²

100 = (0) t' + (0.5) (9.8) t'²

t' = 4.52 sec


consider the motion of cart along the horizontal direction after it flies off the cliff

X = distance traveled from the base of cliff = ?

t' = time of travel = 4.52 sec

v = velocity along the horizontal direction = 14.7 m/s

distance traveled from the base of cliff is given as

X = v t'

X = 14.7 x 4.52

X  = 66.4 m

HELP!

Answer:

speed is increasing.

this is because the graph has a positive slope (due to it going up ), if it were decreasing, the graph would be going down

Answer: unequal forces

Explanation: in order for something to accelerate it must speed up or slow down .  When unequal forces react it casuse a change in motion which is also know as acceleration .
