Answer:

0.237 (23.7 %)

Explanation:

The thermal efficiency of an engine is given by:

\eta=\frac{W}{Q_{in}}

where

W is the useful work output of the engine

Q_{in} is the heat in input

Here we have:

Q_{in}=1940 J

and the work done is the total heat in input minus the heat exhausted:

W=1940 J - 1480 J=460 J

So, the efficiency is

\eta=\frac{460 J}{1940 J}=0.237 (23.7 %)

Anettt [7]

Answer:

a) 0.0625 = 6.25%

b) 106.67 Ω

c) 9.43 Ω

d) 1

Explanation:

The probability distribution is given as

f(x) = (x - 80)/800 for 80 < x < 120

f(x) = 0 otherwise.

f(x) = (x/800) - (0.1)

a) Proportion of resistors with resistance less than 90 Ω

P(X < 90) = ∫⁹⁰₈₀ f(x) dx

∫⁹⁰₈₀ f(x) dx = ∫⁹⁰₈₀ [(x/800) - (0.1)]

= [(x²/1600) - 0.1x]⁹⁰₈₀

= [(90²/1600) - 0.1(90)] - [(80²/1600) - 0.1(80)]

= (5.0625 - 9) - [4 - 8]

= -3.9375 + 4 = 0.0625 = 6.25%

b) The mean is given by the expected value expression E(X) = = Σ xᵢpᵢ (with the sum done all over the data set for each variable and its corresponding probability)

It can be written in integral form as

Mean = ∫¹²⁰₈₀ xf(x) dx (with the integral done all over the probability function, i.e. from, 80 to 120)

Mean = ∫¹²⁰₈₀ x[(x/800) - (0.1)] dx

= ∫¹²⁰₈₀ [(x²/800) - (0.1x)] dx

= [(x³/2400) - (0.05x²)]¹²⁰₈₀

= [(120³/2400) - (0.05(120²)] - [(80³/2400) - (0.05(80²)]

= [720 - 720] - [213.33 - 320] = 106.67 Ω

c) Standard deviation = √(variance)

Variance = Var(X) = Σx²p − μ²

μ = mean = expected value = 106.67 Ω

Σx²p = ∫¹²⁰₈₀ x²f(x) dx = ∫¹²⁰₈₀ x² [(x/800) - (0.1)] dx = ∫¹²⁰₈₀ [(x³/800) - (0.1x²)] dx

= [(x⁴/3200) - (0.0333x³)]¹²⁰₈₀

= [(120⁴/3200) - (0.0333(120³)] - [(80⁴/3200) - (0.0333(80)³)]

= (64800 - 57600) - (12800 - 17066.667)

= 11466.667

Variance = 11466.667 - 106.67² = 88.85

Standard deviation = √88.85 = 9.43 Ω

d) Cdf = sum of probabilities over the entire probability function

Cdf = ∫¹²⁰₈₀ f(x) dx = ∫¹²⁰₈₀ [(x/800) - (0.1)] dx

= [(x²/1600) - 0.1x]¹²⁰₈₀ = [(120²/1600) - 0.1(120)] - [(80²/1600) - 0.1(80)] = (9 - 12) - (4 - 8) = -3+4 = 1 as it should be!!!

Hope this Helps!!!

PLEASE HELP ASAP!! What are 3 types of forces acting on your marshmallow (or other flying object) when it impacts it’s target? C
Alekssandra [29.7K]
•Every action has an equal and opposite reaction (the object is putting force on the target, and the target is putting an equal amount of force back)
•Am object in motion (the object) will stay in motion unless an outside force acts upon it (the Target)

And as for the third one I really don’t know, those seem to be the only two, I’m sorry. I did what a could, Hope it kinda helps :)
