A sensor is used to monitor the performance of a nuclear reactor. The sensor accu-rately reflects the state of the reactor with

a probability of .97. But with a probabilityof .02, it gives a false alarm (by reporting excessive radiation even though the reac-tor is performing normally), and with a probability of .01, it misses excessive radia-tion (by failing to report excessive radiation even though the reactor is performing abnormally). (a) What is the probability that a sensor will give an incorrect report, that is, either a false alarm or a miss?

Answer:

The probability of an incorrect report is found to be 0.03 or 3%.

Explanation:

We will get an incorrect report in both the cases of false alarm or missing excessive radiation. Since, both are mutually exclusive events. Therefore, the probability of both events to occur simultaneously will be 0. Thus, the probability of an incorrect report will be the sum of the probability of false alarm and the probability of a missing radiation.

P (False Alarm) = 0.02

P (Missing Radiation) = 0.01

P(Incorrect Report) = P (False Alarm) + P(Missing Radiation)

P (Incorrect Report) = 0.02 +0.01

P(Incorrect Report) = 0.03 = 3%

a student drops an object from the top of a building which is 19.6 m high. How long does it take the object to fall to the groun
zubka84 [21]

Here's a formula that's simple and useful, and if you're really in
high school physics, I'd be surprised if you haven't see it before. 
This one is so simple and useful that I'd suggest memorizing it,
so it's always in your toolbox.

This formula tells how far an object travels in how much time,
when it's accelerating:

               Distance = (1/2 acceleration) x (Time²).

                           D = 1/2 A T²

For your student who dropped an object out of the window,

     Distance = 19.6 m
     Acceleration = gravity = 9.8 m/s²

                                              D = 1/2 G T²

                                          19.6 =   4.9   T²

Divide each side by 4.9 :       4  =           T²

Square root each side:           2  =          T

When an object is dropped in Earth gravity,
it takes  2  seconds to fall the first 19.6 meters.

The magnetic field direction and direction of induced current in a wire are related by the right hand grip rule. Since the magnetic field was upwards, the thumb points upwards and the fingers curl around it. When viewed from above, it is seen as a current flowing in the counter clockwise direction.

what is the force per meter on a straight wire carrying 5.0 a when it is placed in a magnetic field of 0.020 t
Dvinal [7]

The Force per meter on a straight wire carrying current in a magnetic field is<u>  0.045 N/m.</u>

<u>Calculation:-</u>

       F/ℓ = B I sin θ

  Where B – Magnetic field = 0.02 T I – Current = 5 A          

Substituting the values

F/ℓ = (0.02) (5) (sin 27 deg)

F/ℓ = <u>0.045 N/m</u>

A force is an influence that can alternate the motion of an item. A force can cause an item with mass to trade its pace, i.e., to boost up. force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A pressure has both value and course, making it a vector quantity.

The push or pull on an item with mass causes it to change its velocity. force is an external agent capable of converting a frame's nation of relaxation or motion. It has significance and a path. A force is a push or pulls among gadgets. it is called an interplay because if one object acts on some other, its movement is matched with the aid of a reaction from the alternative object.
