uppose the weights of Farmer Carl's potatoes are normally distributed with a mean of 9 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.8 ou

nces. (a) Carl only wants to sell the best potatoes to his friends and neighbors at the farmer's market. According to weight, this means he wants to sell only those potatoes that are among the heaviest 25%. What is the minimum weight required to be brought to the farmer's market?

Answer:

x= 9.53 ounces

Explanation:

Given that

Mean ,μ= 9 ounces

Standard deviation ,σ=0.8 ounces

He wants to sell only those potatoes that are among the heaviest 25%.

P=25% = 0.25

When P= 0.25 then Z=0.674

Lest take x is the the minimum weight required to be brought to the farmer's market.

We know that

x = Z . σ + μ

x= 0.674 ₓ 0.8 + 9 ounces

x= 9.53 ounces

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,700 years. How long will it take for 6.25% of the Carbon-14 to be remaining?
kupik [55]

Half life is 5700 years,that is 50%.

6.25% means 1/16 of the life is left.

T^1/16 =T^1/2*4.

5700 × 4 =22800 years

Zorn and Porsha are ice skating. Porsha has a mass of 60 kg, and Zorn has a mass of 40 kg. As they face each
algol13

Assuming the friction between the skaters and the ice is  negligible, the magnitude of Porsha's acceleration is 2.8m/s².

Missing part of the question: determine the magnitude of Porsha's acceleration.

Given the data in the question;

  • Mass of Porsha; m_{porsha} = 60kg
  • Mass of Zorn; m_{zorn} = 40kg
  • Force of Porsha push; F_{porsha} = 168N

Magnitude of Porsha's acceleration; a = \ ?

To determine the magnitude of Porsha's acceleration, we use Newton's second laws of motion:

F = m*a

Where m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration.

We substitute the mass of Porsha and the force he used into the equation

168N = 60kg * a\\\\a = \frac{168kg.m/s^2}{60kg}\\\\a = 2.8m/s^2

Therefore, assuming the friction between the skaters and the ice is  negligible, the magnitude of Porsha's acceleration is 2.8m/s².

When a 5.0-kilogram cart moving with a speed of 2.8 meters per second on a horizontal surface collides with a 2.0 kilogram cart
mixer [17]

Here in all such collision type question we can use momentum conservation as we can see that there is no external force on this system

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

as we know that

m_1 = 5 kg

m_2 = 2 kg

v_{1i} = 2.8 m/s

v_{2i} = 0 m/s

now from above equation we have

5(2.8) + 2(0) = m_1v+ m_2v

14 = (5+ 2) v

v = 2 m/s

so the speed of combined system is 2 m/s

A wooden block is sitting on an inclined plane near the bottom. The student gave the block a flick and it moved up the inclined
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The block didn't slide due to balancing of gravitational force with friction force

Explanation:

When the block was given a flick the force provided an acceleration to it and it moved up the inclined plane. when the block reached top it was expected that it would slide back but it didn't this happened because of the frictional force acting on the bottom the block which was balancing the gravitational force component along the plane and this prevented sliding back of the block.

static friction  was balancing mg*sin(theta)

fs = mg*sin(theta)

How many ohms of resistance must be present in a circuit that has 240 volts and a current of 15 amps?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

16 ohms

Explanation:

V= I ⋅ R

where,  V  is the net potential difference in the circuit,  I  is the current in the circuit and  R  is the net resistance of the circuit.  

In this case,  V = 240  volts,  I = 15  amperes.

240 = 15 ⋅ R  

⇒ R = 240/ 15 = 16  ohms
