You are a traffic accident investigator. You have arrived at the scene of an accident. Two trucks of equal mass (3,000 kg each)

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

1) Kinetic energy of the truck 1 is 600,000 joules.

Kinetic energy of the truck 2 is 1,837,500 joules.

2 a)Potential energy of truck 1 is 646,800 Joules.

b) Energy lose by the truck 1 just got converted into heat and sound energy during the collision.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of the truck 1 and truck 2,m = 3000 kg

Velocity of the truck 1, $v_1$ = = 20 m./s

Velocity of the truck 2, $v_2$ = 35 m./s

1. Kinetic energy of the truck 1: $\frac{1}{2}mv_{1}^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 3000 kg\times (20 m/s)^=600,000 joules$

Kinetic energy of the truck 2: $\frac{1}{2}mv_{2}^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 3000 kg\times (35 m/s)^=1,837,500 joules$

2.a) Energy loose by the truck 1:

Initial height of the truck on the hill = 22 m

At that height potential energy will be maximum:

Potential energy of truck 1 at that height = $mgh=3000\times 9.8 m/s^2\times 22 m=646,800 Joules$

b) Energy lose by the truck 1 just got converted into heat and sound energy during the collision.

A researcher reports a 98% confidence interval for the proportion of Drosophila in a population with mutation Adh-F to be [0.34,

Fantom [35]

Answer:

$0.34 \leq p \leq 0.38$

For this case we can conclude that with 98% of confidence the true proportion of Drosophila in a population would be between 0.34 and 0.38.

But that doesn't means that we have 98% of PROBABILITY that the true proportion would be between 0.34 and 0.38, because we are constructing a confidence interval with sample data and we can't analyze this using probability.

Then the best answer is:

2. False

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have a confidence interval for the proportion of Drosophila in a population with mutation Adh-F to be given by:

$0.34 \leq p \leq 0.38$

For this case we can conclude that with 98% of confidence the true proportion of Drosophila in a population would be between 0.34 and 0.38.

But that doesn't means that we have 98% of PROBABILITY that the true proportion would be between 0.34 and 0.38, because we are constructing a confidence interval with sample data and we can't analyze this using probability.

Then the best answer is:

2. False
