The population of weights for men attending a local health club is normally distributed with a mean of 171-lbs and a standard de

viation of 29-lbs. An elevator in the health club is limited to 35 occupants, but it will be overloaded if the total weight is in excess of 6510-lbs.Assume that there are 35 men in the elevator. What is the average weight beyond which the elevator would be considered overloaded?

Answer:

186 lbs per man.

Explanation:

If we assume that we have 35 men in the elevator, and the elevator will be overloaded if the total weight is in excess of 6510-lbs, so we just need to take average:

6510 lbs / 35 = 186 lbs per man.

Have a nice day!

A motorcycle of mass 100 kilograms slowly rolls off the edge of a cliff and falls for three seconds before reaching the bottom o
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

C) 3,000 kg m/s

Explanation:

We can consider the horizontal velocity of the motorcycle to be zero, since it rolls off the edge of the cliff very slowly. So, we only need to find the vertical velocity at the time of the impact with the ground.

The vertical velocity of the motorcycle at time t is given by (free-fall motion):

v(t)=v_0 -gt

where

v_0=0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero, since the motorcycle is not moving)

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time

Since the motorcycle hits the ground after t = 3 seconds, we have

v(3 s)=0-(9.8 m/s^2)(3 s)=-29.4 m/s

And since we know its mass, m=100 kg, we can find its momentum:

p=mv=(100 kg)(-29.4 m/s)=-2940 kg m/s \cdot -3000 kg m/s

and the negative sign simply means downward direction.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Gravitone

Explanation:

In theories of quantum gravity, the graviton is the hypothetical quantum of gravity, an elementary particle that mediates the force of gravity. There is no complete quantum field theory of gravitons due to an outstanding mathematical problem with renormalization in general relativity.
