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.

If you sleep 33% in a day, how many hours is that?
lesantik [10]

In this question, one has to carefully understand that the total number of hours in the day can never be more that 24 hours. based on this important fact the answer to the question can be very easily deduced. The only requirement is calculating perfectly.
Number of hours in a day = 24 hours
Percentage of hours of sleep in a day = 33%
Amount of sleep in the day = (33/100) * 24
                                             = 7.92 hours
So 33% of sleep in a day is equal to 7.92 hours. I hope this answer has helped you. In future you can keep the procedure in mind for solving such problems.

Sarah wanted to know the velocity of an airplane traveling from Houston to Dallas. After recording the distance (in miles) and t
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

 Velocity of a body = Displacement of the body/Time taken

Displacement and velocity are a vector. Both have direction and magnitude.

Displacement is generally distance with direction.

If we divide distance with time taken we will get speed of the airplane. Speed with direction is called velocity. So we need distance between Houston and Dallas, time taken by plane to travel from Houston to Dallas and direction of displacement from Houston to Dallas.

So we need direction.

Option B is the correct answer.

A rigid tank contains air at a pressure of 70 psia and a temperature of 55 ˚F. By how much will the pressure increase as the tem
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

P_2 = 62.69 psi

Explanation:

given,

P₁ = 70 psia               T₁ = 55° F    = (55 + 459.67) R

P₂ = ?                         T₂ = 115° F    = (115 + 459.67) R

we know,

p = ρ RT

ρ is the density which is constant

R is also constant

now,

\dfrac{P_2}{P_1} =\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}

\dfrac{P_2}{70} =\dfrac{55+459.67}{115+459.67}

    P_2 = 62.69 psi

Hence, the increase in Pressure is equal to P_2 = 62.69 psi
