Toby's Trucking Company determined that on an annual basis, the distance traveled per truck is normally distributed, with a mean

of 50,000 miles and a standard deviation of 12,000 miles How many miles will be traveled by at least (equal to and more than) 72% of the trucks?

Answer: 56994 miles

Explanation:

Given : Toby's Trucking Company determined that on an annual basis, the distance traveled per truck is normally distributed with

\mu=50,000\text{ miles}

Standard deviation : \sigma=12,000\text{ miles}

Let a be the distance traveled by at least 72% of the trucks.

Let X be the random variable that represents the distance traveled by a truck

Then P(x\geq a)=0.72

The critical value corresponds to p-value 0.72 :z=0.5828415

Also, z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

\Rightarrow\ 0.5828415=\dfrac{a-50000}{12000}\\\\\Rightarrow\ a=12000(0.5828415)+50000=56994.098\approx56994

Hence, 56994 miles will be traveled by at least (equal to and more than) 72% of the trucks .

No. Terrance cannot move the sled. This is because, the force that he produces is 80*3 Newton’s, which is only 240 Newton’s, but since the sled needs a force of 250 Newton’s, he cannot move the sled (even though the difference is only by 10 Newton’s).

The drawing shows a wire composed of three segments, AB, BC, and CD. There is a current of I = 2.0 A in the wire. There is also
alexdok [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the wire is zero, because the magnetic field is parallel to the wire.

In fact, the magnetic force exerted by the magnetic field on the wire is

where I is the current in the wire, L the length of the wire, B the magnetic field intensity and  the angle between the direction of B and the wire. In our problem, B and the wire are parallel, so the angle is  and so , therefore the magnetic force is zero: F=0.

Suppose a nonconducting sphere, radius r2, has a spherical cavity of radius r1 centered at the sphere's center. Assuming the cha
leva [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Between r = 0 and r = r₁

Electric field will be zero . It is so because no charge lies in between r = 0 and r = r₁ .

b ) From r = r₁ to r = r₂

At distance r , charge contained in the sphere of radius r

volume charge density x 4/3 π r³

q = Q x r³ / R³

Applying Gauss's law

4πr² E = q / ε₀

4πr² E = Q x r³ / ε₀R³

E= Q x r / (4πε₀R³)

E ∝ r .

c )

Outside of r = r₂

charge contained in the sphere of radius r = Q

Applying Gauss's law

4πr² E = q / ε₀

4πr² E = Q  / ε₀

E = Q  / 4πε₀r²

E ∝ 1 / r² .
