Answer:

c. It is rubbed with another object, and electrons move onto the rod.

Explanation:

A rubber rod is negatively charged through friction when gains electrons, this occurs when electrons are transferred from another material by simple contact between them. When these two materials are rubbed, the difference in electronic affinity causes one of the materials to be positively charged and the other negatively charged.

How fast is sound when traveling through water?

IgorLugansk [536]

Sound travels 1,480 meters per second, which is about 4.3 times as fast as air. Sound travels much slowly in air. This has to do with the frequency, intensity and amplitude of waves, which are affected differently in water and air.

The sound intensity of a certain type of food processor in normally distributed with standard deviation of 2.9 decibels. If the

Maru [420]

Answer: $(48.41,\ 52.19)$

Explanation:

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

$\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Given : Sample size : $n=9$

Sample mean : $\ovreline{x}=50.3\text{ decibels}$

Standard deviation : $\sigma=2.9\text{ decibels }$

Significance level : $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$

Critical value : $z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96$

Now, the 95% confidence interval estimate of the (true, unknown) mean sound intensity of all food processors of this type :-

$50.3\pm (1.96)\dfrac{2.9}{\sqrt{9}}\\\\\approx50.3\pm1.89\\\\=(50.3-1.89,\ 50.3+1.89)=(48.41,\ 52.19)$
