Suppose electric power is supplied from two independent sources which work with probabilities 0.4, 0.5, respectively. if both so

urces are providing power enough power will be available with probability 1. if exactly one the them works there will be enough power with probability 0.6. of course, if none of them works the probability that there will be sufficient supply is 0.a) what are the probabilities that exactly k sources work for k=0,1,2?b)compute the probability that enough power will be available.

Answer:

The answers to the questions are as follows

a)  k = 0, P = 0.3

k = 1, P = 0.5

k = 0, P = 0.2

b) The probability that enough power will be available is 0.5.

Explanation:

To solve the question we write the parameters as follows

Probability that the first power source works = P(A) = 0.4

Probability that the second power source works = P(B) = 0.5

When both sources are supplying power  we have the probability = 1

If non of them is producing the probability = 0

a) The probability that exactly k sources work for k=0,1,2 is given by

For k = 0, probability = (1- P(A))× (1- P(B)) = 0.6 × 0.5 =0.3

Therefore the probabilities that exactly 0 source work  = 0.3

for k = 1 we have the probability = P(A)(1-P(B)) + P(B)(1-P(A)

= 0.4(1-0.5)+0.5(1-0.4) = 0.2 + 0.3 = 0.5

The probabilities that exactly 1 source work  = 0.5

for k = 2 we have the probability given by = P(A) × P(B) = 0.4 × 0.5 = 0.2

Therefore the  probability that exactly 2 sources work  = 0.2

b)  The probability that enough power will be available is

0 × P(k = 0) + 0.6 × P(k = 1) + 1 × P(k = 2)

0 × 0.2 + 0.6 × 0.5 + 1 × 0.2 = 0.5

The probability that enough power will be available is 0.5.

Hello guys! Can u please help me with physics. I translated it in English. Can yall help me please how much u can!!
DedPeter [7]

1. Since the body is thrown vertically upward, the only force acting on it as it rises and falls is gravity, which causes a constant downward acceleration with magnitude g = 9.8 m/s². Because this acceleration is constant, we can use the formula

v² - u² = 2a ∆x

where

u = initial speed

v = final speed

a = acceleration

∆x = displacement

At its maximum height, some distance y above the point where the body is launched, the body has zero velocity, so

0² - (20 m/s)² = 2 (-9.8 m/s²) y

Solve for y :

y = (20 m/s)² / (2 (9.8 m/s²)) ≈ 20.4 m

2. Relative to the ground, the body's maximum height is 60 m + 20.4 m ≈ 80.4 m.

3. At any time t ≥ 0, the body's vertical velocity is given by

v = 20 m/s - gt

At the highest point, we have

0 = 20 m/s - (9.8 m/s²) t

and solving for t gives

t = (20 m/s) / (9.8 m/s²) ≈ 2.04 s

4. The body's height y above the ground at any time t ≥ 0 is given by

y = 60 m + (20 m/s) t - 1/2 gt²

Solve for t when y = 0 :

0 = 60 m + (20 m/s) t - 1/2 (9.8 m/s²) t²

Using the quadratic formula,

t = (-b + √(b² - 4ac)) / (2a)

(and omitting the negative root, which gives a negative solution) where a = -1/2 (9.8 m/s²), b = 20 m/s, and c = 60 m. You should end up with

t ≈ 6.09 s

5. At the time found in (4), the body's velocity is

v = 20 m/s - g (6.09 s) ≈ -39.7 m/s

Speed is the magnitude of velocity, so the speed in question is 39.7 m/s.

An astronaut on a small planet wishes to measure the local value of g by timing pulses traveling down a wire which has a large o
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The gplanet is 0.193 m/s^2

Explanation:

The speed of the pulse is:

v=\frac{lengthofthewipe}{traveltime} =\frac{1.6}{0.0656} =15.24m/s

v=\sqrt{\frac{MgL}{m} } \\v^{2} =\frac{MgL}{m} \\g=\frac{mv^{2} }{ML}

where

m=mass of the wire=4 g= 4x10^-3 kg

M=mass of the object= 3 kg

Replacing values:

g=\frac{4x10^{-3}*15.24^{2}  }{3*1.6} =0.193 m/s^{2}

A force F with arrow= (5xî+ 4yĵ), where F with arrow is in newtons and x and y are in meters, acts on an object as the object mo
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

w= 62.75 J

Explanation:

Given that

Force vector F= 5 x i + 4 y j

Space vector or displacement vector d= 5.01 i

We know that work (w)

w=∫ F.ds

w= ∫(5 x i + 4 y j) .dx            ( only object is moving in x- direction)

w=\int_{0}^{5.01}5xi.dxi

w=\int_{0}^{5.01}5x.dx

w=\left [\dfrac{5}{2}x^2\right ]_0^{5.01}

w= 2.5 x 5.01² J

w= 62.75 J

What is inertia? because I need to know this​
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

Uh so I don't know the concept of your question but the inertia I know is the Newton Law version. Inertia is the tendency of a object to remain rest or in motion. The object will move or stop at a constant speed until affected by a sudden impacted change.
