Answer:

a) 0.0007326

b) 0.03223

c) 0.2418

d) 0.2418

Explanation:

To find different probabilities for the selection of components among eleven good and four defective components, we will use the Combination.

a) C(4,4) = 1; C(15,4) = 1365

P = \frac{C(4,4)}{C(15,4)} = \frac{1}{1365} = 0.0007326

b) C(4,3) = 4; C(11,1) = 11

P = \frac{C(4,3)*C(11,1)}{C(15,4)} = \frac{4*11}{1365} = 0.03223

c) C(4,2) = 6; C(11,2) = 55

P = \frac{C(4,2)*C(11,2)}{C(15,4)} = \frac{6*55}{1365} = 0.2418

d) C(11,4) = 330

P = \frac{C(11,4)}{C(15,4)} = \frac{330}{1365} = 0.2418

A boy reaches out of a window and tosses a ball straight up with a speed of 10 m/s. The ball is 20 m above the ground as he rele
kirill115 [55]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the ball, v = 10 m/s

Initial position of ball above ground, h = 20 m

(a) Let H is the maximum height reached by the ball. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy as :

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh'            

h'=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}

h'=\dfrac{(10)^2}{2\times 9.8}

h' = 5.1 m

The maximum height above ground,

H = 5.1 + 20

H = 25.1 meters

So, the maximum height reached by the ball is 25.1 meters.

(b) The ball's speed as it passes the window on its way down is same as the initial speed i.e. 10 m/s.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A fireman is sliding down a fire pole. As he speeds up, he tightens his grip on the pole, thus increasing the vertical frictiona
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The fireman will continue to descend, but with a constant speed.

Explanation:

In kinetic friction <em>(which is the case discussed here) </em>since the fireman is already in motion because of a certain force, once the frictional force matches the normal force, the fireman will stop accelerating and continue moving at a constant rate with the original speed he had. We will need a force greater than the normal force acting on the fireman to cause a deceleration.

We need to understand the difference between static friction and kinetic friction.

Static friction occurs in objects that are stationary, while kinetic friction occurs in objects that are already in motion.  

In static friction, when the frictional force matches the weight or normal force of the object, the object remains stationary.

While in kinetic friction, when the frictional force matches the normal force, the object will stop accelerating. This is the case of the fireman sliding down the pole as discussed above.

Es frecuente que en las instalaciones eléctricas domésticas se utilice alambre de cobre de 2.05 mm de diámetro. Determine la res
Tasya [4]

Answer:

The resistance is 0.124 ohm.

Explanation:

It is common for domestic electrical installations to use copper wire with a diameter of 2.05 mm. Determine the resistance of such a wire with a length of 24.0 m.

diameter, d = 2.05 mm

radius, r = 1.025 mm

Length, L = 24 m

resistivity of copper = 1.7 x 10^-8 ohm m

Let the resistance is R.

R =\rho \frac{L}{A}\\\\R = \frac {1.7\times10^{-8}\times 24}{3.14\times1.025\times1.025\times 10^{-6}}\\\\R = 0.124 ohm
