A baseball player hit 60 home runs in a season. Of the 60 home runs, 19 went to right field, 18 went to right center field, 12 w

ent to center field, 10 went to left center field, and 1 went left field.
(a) What is the probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to leftleft ​field?
(b) Was it unusual for this player to hit a home run to leftleft ​field?

Answer:

(a) 1/60

(b) Yes, it was unusual.

Explanation:

Number that went to the right field = 19

Number that went to the right center field = 18

Number that went to the center field = 12

Number that went to the left center field = 10

Number that went to the left field = 1

Total number of home runs = 60

(a) The probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to left ​field is

P(left field) = 1/60

(b) It was unusual because whenever a player hit a home run, it most times went to the right field,which is why the right field had the highest probability, 19/60.

On the other hand, it went to the left field the least number of times, which is why the left field had the least probability, 1/60.

So, it was unusual.

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

superscript

Explanation:

When looking at the chemical symbol, the charge of the ion is displayed as the Superscript. This is because the charge of ions is usually written up on the chemical symbol while the atom/molecule is usually written down the chemical symbol. The superscript refers to what is written up on the formula while the subscript is written down on the formula.

An example is H2O . The 2 present represents two molecule of oxygen and its written as the subscript while Fe2+ in which the 2+ is written up is known as the superscript.

As part of a safety investigation, two 1900 kg cars traveling at 20 m/s are crashed into different barriers. Part A Find the ave
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

-29.2\times 10^{3} N

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of cars= m=1900 kg

Initial speed of car=u=20 m/s

Final speed of car=v=0

Time=\Delta t=1.3 s

We have to find the average force exerted on the car.

Average force=\frac{change\;in\;momentum}{\Delta t}

F_{avg}=\frac{mv-mu}{1.3}

F_{avg}=\frac{1900(0)-1900(20)}{1.3}

F_{avg}=\frac{-38000}{1.3}=-29.2\times 10^{3} N

Hence, the average force exerted on the car that hits a line of water barrels=-29.2\times 10^{3} N

A 782.10 kg car is brought from 7.60 m/s to 3.61 m/s over a time period of 4.23 seconds. What is the average force the car exper
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

–735.17 N

The negative sign indicate that the force is acting in opposition direction to the car.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) of car = 782.10 kg

Initial velocity (u) = 7.60 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 3.61 m/s

Time (t) = 4.23 s

Force (F) =?

Next, we shall determine the acceleration of the car. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 7.60 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 3.61 m/s

Time (t) = 4.23 s

Acceleration (a) =?

a = (v – u) / t

a = (3.61 – 7.60) / 4.23

a = –3.99 / 4.23

a = –0.94 m/s²

Finally, we shall determine the force experienced by the car as shown below:

Mass (m) of car = 782.10 kg

Acceleration (a) = –0.94 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = ma

F = 782.10 × –0.94

F = –735.17 N

The negative sign indicate that the force is acting in opposition direction to the car.
