Professor Frank Nabarro insists that all senior physics majors take his notorious physics aptitude test. The test is so tough th

at anyone not going on to a career in physics has no hope of passing, whereas 35% of the seniors who do go on to a career in physics still fail the test. Further, 70% of all senior physics majors in fact go on to a career in physics. Assuming that you fail the test, what is the probability that you will not go on to a career in physics? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer:

0.5504

Explanation:

We can use Bay's theorem to solve this question

P( No physics career/fail) = P(No Physics career and fail)/P(Fail)

= P( Fail/ No physics career)×P( no physics career)/P( fail)

=\frac{0.3\times1}{(0.7\times0.35)+(0.3\times1)}

=0.5504

Explain how surface and subsurface events are integral parts of the rock cycle.
vagabundo [1.1K]
Example of surface events are erosion and weathering. Erosion is the carrying of a particle from one place to the other and weathering is the breaking down of particles. These processes help in rock formation because this allows physical changes (grouping together or breaking down) on a certain substance. Subsurface events are those which happened underground such as the flow of underground water which subsequently allow the deposition of minerals, etc.

The car has a maximum acceleration of 4m/s2 . The car’s mass is 1,250 Kg what is the car max speed?
marusya05 [52]
The net force acting on the car is
3 × 10^3
Newtons.
Force is defined as the product of the mass of the body and its aaceleration,
⇒ F = ma

Substituting the above given values we get,
F =(1500kg) (2.0 m/s^2) = 3000N = 3 × 10^3N .
