urface and sinks to the bottom of the pool, which of the following statements is true?
a. The buoyant force on the rock increases as it sinks.
b. The buoyant force on the rock decreases as it sinks.
c. The buoyant force on the rock is zero as it sinks.
d. The buoyant force on the rock is constant as it sinks.

Answer:

d. The buoyant force on the rock is constant as it sinks.

Explanation:

The sinking of an object in water can be explained by the Archimedes Principle.

The Archimedes principle states that the buoyant force on a submerged substance is equal to the water displaced by the submerging object. The buoyant force, however, does not change with depth as the substance sinks.

In the given question, when the rock moves beneath the pool, the buoyant force do not change and remains the same that is the amount of water displaced by rock remains the same.

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.

a. What proportion of resistors have resistances less than 90 Ω? b. Find the mean resistance. c. Find the standard deviation of
Anettt [7]

Answer:

a) 0.0625 = 6.25%

b) 106.67 Ω

c) 9.43 Ω

d) 1

Explanation:

The probability distribution is given as

f(x) = (x - 80)/800 for 80 < x < 120

f(x) = 0 otherwise.

f(x) = (x/800) - (0.1)

a) Proportion of resistors with resistance less than 90 Ω

P(X < 90) = ∫⁹⁰₈₀ f(x) dx

∫⁹⁰₈₀ f(x) dx = ∫⁹⁰₈₀ [(x/800) - (0.1)]

= [(x²/1600) - 0.1x]⁹⁰₈₀

= [(90²/1600) - 0.1(90)] - [(80²/1600) - 0.1(80)]

= (5.0625 - 9) - [4 - 8]

= -3.9375 + 4 = 0.0625 = 6.25%

b) The mean is given by the expected value expression E(X) = = Σ xᵢpᵢ (with the sum done all over the data set for each variable and its corresponding probability)

It can be written in integral form as

Mean = ∫¹²⁰₈₀ xf(x) dx (with the integral done all over the probability function, i.e. from, 80 to 120)

Mean = ∫¹²⁰₈₀ x[(x/800) - (0.1)] dx

= ∫¹²⁰₈₀ [(x²/800) - (0.1x)] dx

= [(x³/2400) - (0.05x²)]¹²⁰₈₀

= [(120³/2400) - (0.05(120²)] - [(80³/2400) - (0.05(80²)]

= [720 - 720] - [213.33 - 320] = 106.67 Ω

c) Standard deviation = √(variance)

Variance = Var(X) = Σx²p − μ²

μ = mean = expected value = 106.67 Ω

Σx²p = ∫¹²⁰₈₀ x²f(x) dx = ∫¹²⁰₈₀ x² [(x/800) - (0.1)] dx = ∫¹²⁰₈₀ [(x³/800) - (0.1x²)] dx

= [(x⁴/3200) - (0.0333x³)]¹²⁰₈₀

= [(120⁴/3200) - (0.0333(120³)] - [(80⁴/3200) - (0.0333(80)³)]

= (64800 - 57600) - (12800 - 17066.667)

= 11466.667

Variance = 11466.667 - 106.67² = 88.85

Standard deviation = √88.85 = 9.43 Ω

d) Cdf = sum of probabilities over the entire probability function

Cdf = ∫¹²⁰₈₀ f(x) dx = ∫¹²⁰₈₀ [(x/800) - (0.1)] dx

= [(x²/1600) - 0.1x]¹²⁰₈₀ = [(120²/1600) - 0.1(120)] - [(80²/1600) - 0.1(80)] = (9 - 12) - (4 - 8) = -3+4 = 1 as it should be!!!

Hope this Helps!!!

In a controlled experiment, a scientist is studying how long it takes feathers of different sizes to fall to the ground. What is
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: independent variable: Size of the feather.

Explanation:

In an experiment, the manipulated/independent variable is, as the name implies, the variable that the scientist can control.

In this case, the scientist has only one variable that he can control at will, and this is the size of the feather (he can choose which feather he uses for the experiment)

So the manipulated variable will be the size of the feather.

And the dependent variable is the one that "answers" to the changes in the manipulated variable.

In this case, will be the time that it takes to the feather to fall to the ground.

Determine the change in electric potential energy of a system of two charged objects when a -2.1-C charged object and a -5.0-C c
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Change in electric potential energy ∆E = 365.72 kJ

Explanation:

Electric potential energy can be defined mathematically as:

E = kq1q2/r ....1

k = coulomb's constant = 9.0×10^9 N m^2/C^2

q1 = charge 1 = -2.1C

q2 = charge 2 = -5.0C

∆r = change in distance between the charges

r1 = 420km = 420000m

r2 = 160km = 160000m

From equation 1

∆E = kq1q2 (1/r2 -1/r1) ......2

Substituting the given values

∆E = 9.0×10^9 × -2.1 ×-5.0(1/160000 - 1/420000)

∆E = 94.5 × 10^9 (3.87 × 10^-6) J

∆E = 365.72 × 10^3 J

∆E = 365.72 kJ

If you pull up on a bucket with a tension force of 15 N and the bucket has a weight of 15 N, what is the net force acting on the
fredd [130]

Answer:

F = 0 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must perform a summation of forces in the direction of the vertical axis. Where the positive force is that of the tension of the upward force, while the force exerted by the weight is directed downward with a negative sign.

ΣF = 0

15 - 15 + F = 0

F = 0 [N]
