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.

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Fa - u*m*g = m*a

Fa = u*m*g + m*a

Fa - m*a = u*m*g

u = \frac{Fa - m*a}{m*g}

an object of mass m is traveling at constant speed v in a circular path of radius r. how much work is done by the centripetal fo
vlada-n [284]

The work done is by the centripetal force on mass m during an angular displacement of 2π revolutions mv²2π /r J

Centripetal force - a force acts on an moving object in circular path.

the centripetal force is given by

F= mv²/r       (equation1)

Work done is given by

W = Fd          (equation 2)

d = 2π

work is done by the centripetal force on mass m during an angular displacement of 2π revolutions is given by:

to calculate work done using equation 1 in 2  we get

W = mv² d/r

 W = mv² × 2π /r J

The work done is by the centripetal force on mass m during an angular displacement of 2π revolutions mv²2π /r J

Light from distant galaxies most likely shows a ...red shift, indicating that the universe is expandingblue shift, indicating th
ELEN [110]

Answer:

red shift, indicating that the universe is expanding

Explanation:

Doppler effect occurs when a source of a wave (e.g. light, or sound waves) moves relative to an observer; as a result of this relative motion, the wavelength of the wave appears lengthened/shortened to the observer. Two situations can occur:

- The source of the wave is moving towards the observer - in this case, the wavelength of the wave becomes shorter. If the wave is visible light, such as the light emitted by distant galaxies, this means that the wavelength of the light shifts towards the blue-end of the spectrum (blue-shift)

- The source of the wave is moving away from the observer - in this case, the wavelength of the wave becomes longer. If the wave is visible light, such as the light emitted by distant galaxies, this means that the wavelength of the light shifts towards the red-end of the spectrum (red-shift)

In our universe, we observe a red-shift for all the distant galaxies: this means that these galaxies are moving away from us, so this is an indication that the universe is expanding.
