Complete question:

new concrete mix is being designed to provide adequate compressive strength for concrete blocks. The specification for a particular application calls for the blocks to have a mean compressive strength µ greater than 1350 kPa. A sample of 100 blocks is produced and tested. Their mean compressive strength is 1356 kPa and their standard deviation is 70 kP

a) Find the p value.

b) Do you believe it is plausible that the blocks do not meet the specification, or are you convinced that they do? Expain your reasoning.

Answer:

a) p-value= 0.1949

b) It is possible the blocks do not meet the specifications

Explanation:

Given:

n = 100

Sample mean, X' = 1356

Standard deviation, s.d = 70

a) To find p- value.

Null hypothesis:

H0: u ≤ 1350

Alternative hypothesis:

H1 : u > 1350

The test statistic wll be:

z= \frac{X'-u_o}{s.d/ \sqrt{n}}

= \frac{1356-1350}{70/\sqrt{100}}

=0.86

The p value will be:

= P(z>0.86)

= 1-P(z≤0.86)

Using the normal distribution table, we now have:

1 - 0.8051

= 0.1949

P value = 0.1949

b) Since our p-value is 0.1949, we do not reject the null hypothesis, because the p-value, 0.1949, is not small. This means that it is possible the blocks do not meet the specifications.

A certain car's drive-train produces a force of 5300 N as it accelerates from 0
lakkis [162]

The power is 7.1\cdot 10^4 W

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the acceleration of the car, which is given by

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v = 60 mph = 26.8 m/s is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity

t = 10.0 s is the time

Substituting,

a=\frac{26.8-0}{10.0}=2.68 m/s^2

Now we can find the mass of the car by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

F = 5300 N is the force applied

m is the mass

a=2.68 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Solving for m,

m=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{5300}{2.68}=1978 kg

Now we can use the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the car, to find the work:

W=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2

And substituting,

W=\frac{1}{2}(1978)(26.8)^2-0=7.10\cdot 10^5 J

Finally, we can find the power output of the car:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W is the work

t = 10.0 s is the time elapsed

Substituting,

P=\frac{7.1\cdot 10^5}{10.0}=7.1\cdot 10^4 W

Simple curiosity is not a legitimate reason to complete a scientific investigation

Why not ? ? ?
If you can get the money, the laboratory to use, the experimental
equipment, and the people you need to work on it with you, then
curiosity is a fine, honorable, and perfectly good reason to go ahead,
do what you gotta do, follow your heart, satisfy your curiosity, and learn
new stuff.

If the block is subjected to the force of F = 500 N, determine its velocity at s = 0.5 m. When s = 0, the block is at rest and t
STatiana [176]

Answer:

The velocity is  4.6 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given:

Force = 500N

Distance  s= 0

To find :

Its velocity at s = 0.5 m

Solution:

\sum F_{x}=m a

F\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)-F_{S}=13 a

500\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)-\left(k_{s}\right)=13 a

400-(500 s)=13 a

a = \frac{400 -(500s)}{13}

a = (30.77 -38.46s) m/s^2

Using the relation,

a=\frac{d v}{d t}=\frac{d v}{d s} \times \frac{d s}{d t}

a=v \frac{d v}{d s}

v d v=a d s

Now integrating on both sides

\int_{0}^{v} v d v=\int_{0}^{0.5} a d s

\int_{0}^{v} v d v=\int_{0}^{0.5}(30.77-38.46 s) d s

\left[\frac{v^{2}}{2}\right]_{0}^{2}=\left[\left(30.77 s-19.23 s^{2}\right)\right]_{0}^{0.5}

\left[\frac{v^{2}}{2}\right]=\left[\left(30.77(0.5)-19.23(0.5)^{2}\right)\right]

\left[\frac{v^{2}}{2}\right]=[15.385-4.807]

\left[\frac{v^{2}}{2}\right]=10.578

v^{2}=10.578 \times 2

v^{2}=21.15

v = \sqrt{21.15}

v = 4.6 m/s^2
