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

A flywheel is a solid disk that rotates about an axis that is perpendicular to the disk at its center. Rotating flywheels provid

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

$8.37*10^5$ rpm

Explanation:

Given that rotational kinetic energy = $4.66*10^9J$

Mass of the fly wheel (m) = 19.7 kg

Radius of the fly wheel (r) = 0.351 m

Moment of inertia (I) = $\frac{1}{2} mr ^2$

Rotational K.E is illustrated as $(K.E)_{rt} = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2$

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{2(K.E)_{rt}}{I} }$

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{2(KE)_{rt}}{1/2 mr^2} }$

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{4(K.E)_{rt}}{mr^2} }$

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{4*4.66*10^9J}{19.7kg*(0.351)^2} }$

$\omega = 87636.04$

$\omega = 8.76*10^4 rad/s$

Since 1 rpm = $\frac{2 \pi}{60} rad/s$

$\omega = 8.76*10^4(\frac{60}{2 \pi})$

$\omega = 836518.38$

$\omega = 8.37 *10^5 rpm$

Please help i'm going to throw up from stress

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Explanation:

First of all, I used the specific heat of water as 4182 J/(kgC) and the specific heat of ethyl alcohol (EtOH) as 2440 J/(kgC); that means that we need the masses in kg, not g.

120.g = .1200 kg of ethyl alcohol. Now for the formula:

$t_f=\frac{(m_{H2O}*spheat_{H2O}*temp_{H2O})+(m_{EtOH}*spheat_{EtOH}*temp_{EtOH})}{(m_{H2O}*spheat_{H2O})+(m_{EtOH}*spheat_{EtOH})}$ where spheat is specific heat.

Filling that horrifying-looking formula in with some values:

$16.0=\frac{(x*4182*20.0)+(.1200*2440*10.0)}{(x*4182)+(.1200*2440)}$ and

$16.0=\frac{83640x+2928}{4182x+292.8}$ and

16(4182x + 292.8) = 83640x + 2928 and

66912x + 4684.8 = 83640x + 2928 and

1756.8 = 16728x so

x = .105 kg and the amount of water added is 105 g

Why is earth the only planet on which water exists in a liquid state

Gennadij [26K]

This is due to earths location in the solar system. Earth is in the habitat zone or the Goldie locks zone, in this zone it's not too hot or not too cold for water to exist. Other planets in different star systems have liquid oceans due to them being in the habitat zone.

A force F = (2.75 N)i + (7.50 N)j + (6.75 N)k acts on a 2.00 kg mobile object that moves from an initial position of d = (2.75 m

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

The work done on the object by the force in the 5.60 s interval is 40.93 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force $F=(2.75\ N)i+(7.50\ N)j+(6.75\ N)k$

Mass of object = 2.00 kg

Initial position $d=(2.75)i-(2.00)j+(5.00)k$

Final position $d=-(5.00)i+(4.50)j+(7.00)k$

Time = 4.00 sec

We need to calculate the work done on the object by the force in the 5.60 s interval.

Using formula of work done

$W=F\cdot d$

$W=F\cdot(d_{f}-d_{i})$

Put the value into the formula

$W=(2.75)i+(7.50)j+(6.75)k\cdot (-(5.00)i+(4.50)j+(7.00)k-(2.75)i+(2.00)j-(5.00)k)$

$W=(2.75)i+(7.50)j+(6.75)k\cdot((-7.75)i+6.50j+2.00k)$

$W=2.75\times-7.75+7.50\times6.50+6.75\times2.00$

$W=40.93\ J$

Hence, The work done on the object by the force in the 5.60 s interval is 40.93 J.
