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

Suppose a 1 Gbps point-to-point link is being set up between the Earth and a new lunar colony. The distance from the moon to Ear
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The time required to send the data from Earth to Moon will be 1.28s while for a two way communication, to send it back to the earth, it will take double time i.e. <em>RTT = 2.56s </em>

Explanation:

Distance between Earth and Moon = 385,000 km = 3.85 x 10⁸m

Speed of data travel = speed of light ≈ 3 x 10⁸m/s

As, v=d/t

t=d/v

t=\frac{3.85*10^{8} }{3*10^{8}}

t=1.28s

RTT = Double of single way time taken = 2x1.28

<em><u>RTT=2.56s</u></em>

How can you make gravity smaller and bigger
kobusy [5.1K]
The force of gravity = GMm / r^2, where G is gravitational constant, M is mass of one object, m is mass of another object, r is distance between them.

To make gravity smaller, decrease mass or increase distance.
To make gravity bigger, increase mass or decrease distance.
