Answer:

2 dollars ( approx )

Explanation:

Given,

Initial numbers of dollars = 100,

In each shake the number of removed dollars ( in which head appeared ) = 1,

We have to find the number of dollars after 6 shakes,

Also, the coins in which tail appear will be remained.

∵ Probability of getting tail in each trial = \frac{1}{2}

Thus, the total probability of getting tail in 6 trials = (\frac{1}{2})^6

Hence, the number of dollars remained = initial number × probability of tail in 6 trials

=100\times (\frac{1}{2})^6

=\frac{100}{64}

=1.5625

\approx 2

What is the sequence of energy transformations from the moment the ball is dropped to the moment the board is bent to its maximu
Mila [183]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Transformation of energy involves conversion of energy from one form to another for example our movement around involves the conversion of chemical energy stored in the food we eat to other forms of energy such as kinetic energy for the movement, electrical energy in the neurons for impulses and others

The ball posses gravitational potential energy since it is held at a displacement to the ground ( zero point) and when released, the gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy which leads to the fall of the ball until it is at zero displacement to the earth. The board likewise when bent to its maximum extent stored elastic potential energy as a result of the partial displacement of its constituent particle provided it is  not stretch beyond its elastic limit which can lead to deformation of the board and the elastic potential energy lost.

Which kind of force do you exert on an object when you pull it toward you?
jarptica [38.1K]

By definition we have to:

Applied force: It is the external force that acts directly on a body.

Therefore, we can say that if you have an object and push it towards yourself, you are exerting an external force on the object.

This external force was not acting on the object previously, therefore, it is a force that you are applying at that moment.

Answer:

you exert an Applied Force on an object when you pull it towards you

A. Applied Force
