From a stationary position on the ground, I observe a moving boxcar which has a mirror along the front wall but it is open at th

e back of the boxcar. I send a flash of light from my flashlight and time the flash of light as it enters from the back of the boxcar, reflects off the front of the boxcar and returns to the back of the boxcar. Jill (a passenger in the boxcar) also times the round trip of the flash of light. Compare the times recorded on our watches.
A.) The time recorded on her watch is longer.B.) The times recorded on the two watches are the same.C.) The time recorded on her watch is shorter.D.) The answer depends on the reference system you are in.

Answer:

B.) The times recorded on the two watches are the same.

Explanation:

Light moves at a constant speed called the speed of light. In this experiment, the light travels from the back of the moving boxcar, get reflected at the front. Jill who was in the car also noted the time taken for the entry, reflection and exit of the beam of light. The two observers are in different frames of reference.

The times recorded would be the same because light moves at a high speed to cover the required distance. The distance from the back to the front of the boxcar is constant, though it is in motion. The time is recorded when the light travels these paths. The two are in different frames of reference, but the time would be the same.

The energy per unit volume in an electromagnetic wave is: ________
Marianna [84]

Answer:

c.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves that are generated when an electric field and a magnetic field vibrate together. They are usually created whenever an electric field collides with a magnetic field.

In more generic terms for an electric field, the energy per unit volume is given by:

Energy density = \dfrac{1}{2}\varepsilon _oE^2

For magnetic field:

Energy density =\dfrac{\beta^2}{2 \mu _o}

∴

For the electromagnetic wave (u):

Total energy density is:

u = \dfrac{1}{2}\varepsilon_oE^2 + \dfrac{\beta ^2}{2 \mu_o}

Due to the fact that the energy related with both fields is equivalent:

Then:

E = cB

A machine is designed to fill jars with 16 ounces of coffee. A consumer suspects that the machine is not filling the jars comple
babunello [35]

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis:  \mu \geq 16  

Alternative hypothesis :\mu  

b) t=\frac{15.6-16}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{8}}}=-3.77  

p_v =P(t_{(7)}  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

c) We can conclude that the mean is significantly less than 16 ounces at 10% of significance.  so then the consumer suspect is correct.

Explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=15.6 represent the mean for the sample

s=0.3 represent the sample standard deviation  

n=8 sample size  

\mu_o =16 represent the value that we want to test  

\alpha=0.1 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

Is a one tailed left test.  

What are H0 and Ha for this study?  

Null hypothesis:  \mu \geq 16  

Alternative hypothesis :\mu  

The degrees of freedom on this case are:

df=n-1=8-1=7

Compute the test statistic

The statistic for this case is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic  

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

t=\frac{15.6-16}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{8}}}=-3.77  

Give the appropriate conclusion for the test

Since is a one side left tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(t_{(7)}  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

We can conclude that the mean is significantly less than 16 ounces at 10% of significance.  so then the consumer suspect is correct.
