The amount of force needed to keep a 0.1 kg basketball moving at a constant speed of 6 m/s on friction less ice is ____ Newtons

1 answer:

7 0

Basketball has a mass of 0.1kg
m = 0.1 kg
The basket ball is moving at constant speed, this shows that it is not accelerating. So, acceleration is zero
a = 0m/s²
The constant speed is 6m/s
v = 6m/s
So, force to keep it moving with this constant speed can be calculated using Newton second law of motion
F = ma
F = m × 0
F = 0N
So, since the basket ball is moving at constant speed, then, the force need to keep the ball moving is 0N.

Answer:

0.227 = 22.7% probability that the mean printing speed of the sample is greater than 18.12 ppm.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
