The temperatures (in degrees Fahrenheit) in Long Island recorded by the weather bureau over a week were 42, 49, 53, 55, 50, 47,

and 52. Which measure should the weather bureau use to calculate how far apart the upper and lower quartiles of the week's daily temperatures were?

Answer:

Inter Quartile Range

Explanation:

Quartile is a positional statistical average, which divided the data into 4 equal halves.

Q1 (Lower Quartile) has 25% data below it, 75% above it. Q3 (Upper Quartile) has 75% data below it, 25% above it.

Interquartile range is the measure used to calculate how far the lower & upper quartiles are.

Answer:

Net pull = 110 N to the left

Explanation:

Group the different pulls according to the direction (right or left)

2 pull 196 N each to the right

4 pull 98 N each to the left

5 pull 62 N each to the left

3 pull 150 N each to the right

1 pull 250 N to the left

Since positive direction is to the right, the pulls to the left will have a minus (-)

Net Force= 2(196)+4(-98)+5(-62)+3(150)+1(-250) \\Net Force = -110

The resulting force is negative, meaning the direction is to the left

Which is a vector quantity, speed or velocity? defend your answer.
krek1111 [17]
<span>Speed is the distance traveled divided by the time it took to travel this distance. Velocity is the change in position divided by the time of travel. Velocity only depends on the starting and ending point but the speed depends on the path. Speed is a scalar quantity (the distance per time ratio) and velocity is a vector quantuty, because it is defined also with its direction.</span>

Two particles P and Q each moves towards ther along Straight Line (M)(N), 51m long. P starts from M with velocity 5m/s and const
bagirrra123 [75]

The time required by the particles are as follows:

a. t = 1.5 seconds

b. t = 3 seconds

c. t = 0.4 seconds

<h3>What is the time required?</h3>

The time required for the particles to be at several distances apart is calculated using the equation of motion given below:

S = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

a) Time required to be 30 m apart:

Assuming the distance covered by P is S1 and distance covered by Q is S2.

S1 + S2 = 51 - 30

S1 + S2 = 21

Substituting the values of velocity and acceleration in the equation of motion above:

5t + 1/2t^2 + 6t + 3t^2 = 21

2t^2 + 11t - 21 = 0

Solving for time, t by factorization, t = 1.5 seconds

b) Time required to meet:

Assuming the distance covered by P is S1 and distance covered by Q is S2.

S1 + S2 = 51

Substituting the values of velocity and acceleration in the equation of motion above:

5t + 1/2t^2 + 6t + 3t^2 = 51

2t^2 + 11t - 51 = 0

Solving for time, t by factorization, t = 3 seconds

c) Time required for velocity of P is ¾ of the velocity of Q:

Using the equation of motion: V = u + at

Vp = 3/4 Vq

4Vp= 3Vq

Substituting the values:

4(5 + t) = 3(6 + 3t)

5t = 2

t = 0.4 seconds

10. Electrical Power: Why do our electronic devices get hot? We know
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Now, think on the electrons flowing through a conductor (we can think on the resistor as a simple conductor, like a piece of metal)

Inside the conductor, we have some "fixed" (they do not flow with the current) electrons, such that as the current flows in the conductor, the flowing electrons can interact with the fixed ones in the conductor. Then we can have collisions inside the conductor.

In those collisions, the flowing electrons leave energy in the conductor, and as we know, heat is a form of energy. Then when we have a lot of these collisions, the temperature of the conductor increases.

That is why electronic devices get hot.

Also, as the temperature of a conductor increases, the electrons inside of it start to move more, then the probability of an interaction with the flowing electrons increases.

A ski tow operates on a slope of angle 15.6 ∘ of length 340 m . The rope moves at a speed of 12.7 km/h and provides power for 53
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

P = 34034.2 Watt

Explanation:

As we know that the slope angle is given as

\theta = 15.6^0

now the weight of the rider along the slope is given as

W = mgsin\theta

W = 69(9.81)sin15.6

W = 182 N

now total weight of all 53 riders along the slope is given as

F = 53 W

F = 9647.5 N

now the speed of the rope is given as

v = 12.7 km/h = 3.53 m/s

now the power required is given as

P = F.v

P = 9647.5(3.53)

P = 34034.2 Watt
