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%

Motor oil , with a viscosity of 0 . 250 Ns / m2 , is flowing through a tube that has a radius of 5 . 00 mm and is 25 . 0 cm long
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

1.1775 x 10^-3 m^3 /s

Explanation:

viscosity, η = 0.250 Ns/m^2

radius, r = 5 mm = 5 x 10^-3 m

length, l = 25 cm = 0.25 m

Pressure, P = 300 kPa = 300000 Pa

According to the Poisuellie's formula

Volume flow per unit time is

V=\frac{\pi \times Pr^{4}}{8\eta l}

V=\frac{3.14 \times 300000\times \left ( 5\times 10^{-3} \right )^{4}}{8\times 0.250\times 0.25}

V = 1.1775 x 10^-3 m^3 /s

Thus, the volume of oil flowing per second is 1.1775 x 10^-3 m^3 /s.

Cliff divers at Acapulco jump into the sea from a cliff 37.1 m high. At the level of the sea, a rock sticks out a horizontal dis
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

v_x = 4.87 m/s

Explanation:

Height of the cliff is given as

h = 37.1 m

now the time taken by the diver to hit the surface is given as

h = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

37.1 = \frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2

t = 2.75 s

Now in the same time it has to cover a distance of 13.39 m

so the speed in horizontal direction is given as

v_x = \frac{x}{t}

v_x = \frac{13.39}{2.75}

v_x = 4.87 m/s

A. Besides protons, what other particles make up an atom? Write 2 - 3 sentences describing how the electrostatic force acts betw
vodomira [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

For a. Neutrons and electrons also form an atom.

For b. The element is oxygen which is a non-metal and will form a negative ion while forming ionic bond.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For a:</u>

There are 3 subatomic particles which form an atom. These are neutrons, protons and electrons.

Neutrons carry no charge, protons carry positive charge and electrons carry negative charge. Neutrons and protons are present in nucleus and electrons revolve around the nucleus.

The energy which is present between neutrons and protons are nuclear energy and the energy which is present between electrons and protons are electrostatic energy.

  • <u>For b:</u>

In an element, number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons. The atomic number is equal to the number of protons or electrons. The element which has atomic number 8 is Oxygen.

The electronic configuration of this element is 1s^22s^22p^4

This element requires only 2 electrons to form a stable electronic configuration. An element which gains electron is considered as a non-metal and forms a negative ion because number of electrons increases.
