Answer:

False

Explanation:

The pavement is the surface is defined as the durable surface material laid down on an area in order to sustain traffic, roadways.

The center of mass will not lie on the wheel axis because the surface is not even or it is not regular surface.

Explain how to determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object such as a rock

alexira [117]

If you have no way to accurately measure all of the object's bumps and dimples, then the only way to measure its volume is by means of fluid displacement.

-- Put some water into a graduated (marked) container, read the amount of water, drop the object into the container, and read the new volume in the container. The volume of the object is the difference between the two readings.

-- Alternatively, stand an unmarked container in a large pan, and fill it to the brim. Slowly slowly lower the object into the unmarked container, while the pan catches the water that overflows from it. When the object is completely down in the container, carefully remove the container from the pan, and measure the volume of the water in the pan. It's equal to the volume of the object.

How do matter and energy interact to produce weather patterns

nadezda [96]

Weather is caused by different levels of humidity and the difference in the temperature of air which causes wind patterns. Energy from the sun evaporates the water on land. Air also heats up which brings up the water vapor to the atmosphere. This increases the humidity and the chance of rain. When hot is found near the land, this will create a high pressure which will prevent the formation of clouds and produce a fair weather.

The length of aluminum rods produced by a company are approximated by a Gaussian distribution with a mean of 10 cm and a standar

ExtremeBDS [4]

Given Information:

Mean length of aluminum rods = μ = 10 cm

Standard deviation of length of aluminum rods = σ = 0.02 cm

Required Information:

a) P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = ?

b) P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = ?

Answer:

a) P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = 68.27%

b) P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = 100%

Explanation:

What is Normal Distribution?

Normal Distribution or also known as Gaussian Distribution, is a continuous probability distribution and is symmetrical around the mean. The shape of this distribution is like a bell curve and most of the data is clustered around the mean. The area under this bell shaped curve represents the probability

a) We want to find out the probability that the length of aluminum rods is between 9.98 and 10.02 cm.

$P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = P( \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} < Z < \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} )\\\\P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = P( \frac{9.98- 10}{0.02} < Z < \frac{10.02 - 10}{0.02} )\\\\P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = P( \frac{-0.02}{0.02} < Z < \frac{0.02}{0.02} )\\\\P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = P( -1 < Z < 1 )\\\\$

The z-score corresponding to -1 is 0.15866 and 1 is 0.84134

$P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = P( Z < 1 ) - P( Z < -1 ) \\\\P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = 0.84134 - 0.15866 \\\\P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = 0.6827\\\\P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = 68.27 \%$

Therefore, the probability that the length of aluminum rods is between 9.98 and 10.02 cm is 68.27%

b) We want to find out the probability that the length of aluminum rods is between 9.90 and 10.1 cm.

$P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = P( \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} < Z < \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} )\\\\P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = P( \frac{9.90- 10}{0.02} < Z < \frac{10.1 - 10}{0.02} )\\\\P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = P( \frac{-0.1}{0.02} < Z < \frac{0.1}{0.02} )\\\\P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = P( -5 < Z < 5 )\\\\$

The z-score corresponding to -5 is 0 and 5 is 1

$P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = P( Z < 5 ) - P( Z < -5 ) \\\\P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = 1 - 0 \\\\P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = 1\\\\P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = 100 \%$

Therefore, the probability that the length of aluminum rods is between 9.90 and 10.1 cm is 100%

How to use z-table?

Step 1:

In the z-table, find the two-digit number on the left side corresponding to your z-score. (e.g 1.0, 2.2, 0.5 etc.)

Step 2:

Then look up at the top of z-table to find the remaining decimal point in the range of 0.00 to 0.09. (e.g. if you are looking for 1.00 then go for 0.00 column)

Step 3:

Finally, find the corresponding probability from the z-table at the intersection of step 1 and step 2.
