Answer:

a) The 99% confidence interval for the mean noise level = [122.44, 151.96]

b) Sample standard deviation, s = 17.3dB

Explanation:

Noise levels at 5 airports = 147,123,119,161,136

Mean noise level

        \bar{x} =\frac{ 147+123+119+161+136}{5}=137.2dB

Variance of noise level

        \sigma^2 =\frac{ (137.2-147)^2+(137.2-123)^2+(137.2-119)^2+(137.2-161)^2+(137.2-136)^2}{5}\\\\\sigma^2=164.16

Standard deviation,

       \sigma =\sqrt{164.16}=12.81dB

a) Confidence interval  is given by

       \bar{x}-Z\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\leq \mu\leq \bar{x}+Z\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

For 99% confidence interval Z = 2.576,

Number of noises, n = 5

Substituting

    137.2-2.576\times \frac{12.81}{\sqrt{5}}\leq \mu\leq 137.2+2.576\times \frac{12.81}{\sqrt{5}}\\\\122.44\leq \mu\leq 151.96

The 99% confidence interval for the mean noise level = [122.44, 151.96]

b) Sample standard deviation

        s=\sqrt{\frac{ (137.2-147)^2+(137.2-123)^2+(137.2-119)^2+(137.2-161)^2+(137.2-136)^2}{5-1}}\\\\s=17.3dB

   Sample standard deviation, s = 17.3dB

Which statements describe magnetic poles? Check all that apply.
Alex_Xolod [135]

Explanation:

Magnet: It has two poles: South pole and North pole.

Magnetic field lines are stronger near the poles of the magnet.

Same poles repel each other. There is a magnetic force of repulsion between the same poles. North- North poles repel each other.

Unlike poles attract each other. There is magnetic force of attraction between the opposite poles. South- North poles attract each other.

Mono poles cannot exist.

From the given statements, the magnetic poles are described by:

A north pole must exist with a south pole.

Two south poles placed near each other will repel each other.

A north pole and a south pole placed near each other will attract each other.

A hanging weight, with a mass of m1 = 0.365 kg, is attached by a string to a block with mass m2 = 0.825 kg as shown in the figur
morpeh [17]

The speed of the block after it has moved the given distance away from the initial position is 1.1 m/s.

<h3>Angular Speed of the pulley </h3>

The angular speed of the pulley after the block m1 fall through a distance, d, is obatined from conservation of energy and it is given as;

K.E = P.E

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 + \frac{1}{2} I\omega^2 = mgh\\\\\frac{1}{2} m_2v_0^2 + \frac{1}{2} \omega^2(m_1R^2_2 + m_2R_2^2) + \frac{1}{2} \omega^2( \frac{1}{2} MR_1^2 + \frac{1}{2} MR_2^2) = m_1gd- \mu_km_2gd\\\\\frac{1}{2} m_2v_0^2 + \frac{1}{2} \omega^2[R_2^2(m_1 + m_2)+ \frac{1}{2} M(R_1^2 + R_2^2)] = gd(m_1 - \mu_k m_2)\\\\

\frac{1}{2} m_2v_0 + \frac{1}{4} \omega^2[2R_2^2(m_1 + m_2) + M(R^2_1 + R^2_2)] = gd(m_1 - \mu_k m_2)\\\\2m_2v_0 + \omega^2 [2R_2^2(m_1 + m_2) + M(R^2_1 + R^2_2)] = 4gd(m_1 - \mu_k m_2)\\\\\omega^2 [2R_2^2(m_1 + m_2) + M(R^2_1 + R^2_2)] =  4gd(m_1 - \mu_k m_2) - 2m_2v_0^2\\\\\omega^2 = \frac{ 4gd(m_1 - \mu_k m_2) - 2m_2v_0^2}{2R_2^2(m_1 + m_2) + M(R^2_1 + R^2_2)} \\\\\omega = \sqrt{\frac{ 4gd(m_1 - \mu_k m_2) - 2m_2v_0^2}{2R_2^2(m_1 + m_2) + M(R^2_1 + R^2_2)}} \\\\

Substitute the given parameters and solve for the angular speed;

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{ 4(9.8)(0.7)(0.365 \ - \ 0.25\times 0.825) - 2(0.825)(0.82)^2}{2(0.03)^2(0.365 \ + \ 0.825)\  \ +\  \ 0.35(0.02^2\  + \ 0.03^2)}} \\\\\omega = \sqrt{\frac{3.25}{0.00214\ + \ 0.000455 } } \\\\\omega = 35.39 \ rad/s

<h3>Linear speed of the block</h3>

The linear speed of the block after travelling 0.7 m;

v = ωR₂

v = 35.39 x 0.03

v = 1.1 m/s

Thus, the speed of the block after it has moved the given distance away from the initial position is 1.1 m/s.

Which statement explains the polarity of a water molecule?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

D. The oxygen side is partially negative because electrons are pulled toward the oxygen side.

Explanation:

The water molecule is polar by the virtue of covalent bonds and the hydrogen bonds within and between its molecule.

The oxygen side is partially negative because the electrons are pulled toward the oxygen side.

Between oxygen and hydrogen that makes up the water molecule, oxygen is more electronegative.

An electronegative atom has more affinity for electrons. Since the electrons in the molecule of water is shared between hydrogen and oxygen, the more electronegative specie which is water draws the electron more to itself.

This leaves a net negative charge on the oxygen atom.

Papessa [141]
The situation given above can be answered through the concept of the First Law of thermodynamics which states that the change in internal energy is equal to the difference between the work done and the heat added to the system. The work done by the object is negative and the heat added is positive.
             change in internal energy = -500J + 1400 J = 900 J

Students are experimenting with circuits in their physics class and they build the two working circuits pictured below. The batt
bija089 [108]

The complete observation about adding bulb 3 is the brightness of the bulbs has to do with power which considers both the voltage and the current: less voltage x less current = dimmer bulbs.  In circuit A, the voltage is divided across the resistors and the current decreases as resistance increases.  In circuit B, the voltage is the same in each parallel section of the circuit and the current through that section of the circuit only depends on the resistor in that section.

<h3>What is power of the circuit?</h3>

The power of the bulb or any resistor is equal to the product of voltage and  current flowing through it.

P = VI

Circuit A has bulbs in series while the circuit B has bulbs in parallel.

When bulb 3 added to circuit A,  the brightness of all the bulbs dimmed but when bulb 3 (R3) added to circuit B, nothing changed in the brightness of the bulb.

The brightness is depended on the power of the circuit. When both the voltage and current are less, the bulb will be dimmed. In circuit A, series resistors divide the voltage across them. In circuit B, voltage is equal for all the resistors.

Thus, the last option is correct.
