Fifteen identical particles have various speeds: one has a speed of 2.00 m/s, two have speeds of 3.00 m/s, three have speeds 5.0

0 m/s, four have speeds of 7.00 m/s, three have speeds of 9.00 m/s, and two have speeds of 12.0 m/s. find (a) the average speed, (b) the rms speed, and (c) the most probable speed of these particles.

A. Average speed is weighted mean (1 × 2 + 2 × 3 + 3 × 5 + 4 × 7 + 3 × 9 + 2 × 12.5)/15 = (2 + 6 + 15 + 28 + 27 + 25)/15 = 103/15 = 6.867 b. RMS is square root of 1/15 times sum of squares of speeds Sum of squares is 4 + 9 + 9 + 25 + 25 + 25 + 49 + 49 + 49 + 49 + 81 + 81 + 81 +156.25 + 156.25 = 848.5 
c. RMS speed = √(848.5/15) = 7.521 
Most likely the speed is the peak in the speed distribution, which is 7.

The atoms in a solid move about freely
ivolga24 [154]

No, not exactly.  They jiggle and tremble and vibrate a lot, but
they always basically stay in very nearly the same place.

It's like if you're allowed to go anywhere you want in your jail cell,
you wouldn't exactly call that "moving about freely".

At t=0 a ball is projected vertically upward from a roof of a building of height 68.1 meters with a velocity of 42.4 m/s. The ba
Finger [1]

Answer:

7.45 s.

Explanation:

Given:

h = 68.1 m

vi = 0 m/s

vf = 42.4 m/s

g = 9.81 m/s^2

Using,

h = vi*t +1/2*(a*t^2)

68.1 = 1/2 * (9.81*t^2)

t = sqrt((68.1*2)/9.81)

= 3.726 s.

Total time of flight = 2*t

= 2 * 3.726

= 7.45 s.

The mass of the bicycle and rider is 60 kg and the total area of the tyres in contact with
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

a little

Explanation:

First of all, it's not how you spell "tyres", it is tires.

Second of all, you already know the Mass so what you need to find out now is  contact the road. You Know that your number and letter are squared so that would turn into 6m x 2.4. Then you do the math do continue on to finish it. Have a great day!! Good luck with the answer!!

Two long, straight wires are parallel and 20 cm apart. One carries a current of 2.2 A, the other a current of 5.9 A. (a) If the
Leya [2.2K]

Answer: 1.298\times 10^{-5}\ N/m

Explanation:

Given

Current in the first wire I_1=2.2\ A

Current in the second wire I_2=5.9\ A

wires are 20\ cm apart

Force per unit length between the current-carrying wires is

\Rightarrow \dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2}{2\pi r}

Force exerted  by the wires is the same

Put the values

\Rightarrow \frac{F}{l}=f=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 2.2\times 5.9}{2\pi \times 0.2}=1.298\times 10^{-5}\ N/m

This force will be repulsive in nature as the current is flowing opposite
