Does Ap Physics have anything to do with probablity?

1 answer:

5 0

So I'm a junior. I am currently taking AP Calc BC and AP Physics B.

As of now, I'm not sure if I should take AP Probability and Statistics or Differential Equations/Calc III next year. Also, I'm debating between taking AP Physics C or AP Chemistry.

Which ones do you think would look better on a transcript? I heard that Diffeq/CalcIII is harder than AP ProbStat, but ProbStat is an AP course which will be weighted heavier. Also, should I take Physics C since i've taken Physics B this year already?

It is easier to roll a stone up a sloping road than to lift it vertical upwards because.

kvasek [131]

Answer:

Because the force one needs to apply is reduced.

Explanation:

Work can be expressed in terms of force and distance as follows,

Work = Force × distance

To be more precise, the selection of these two parameters should be in a manner that the distance is what the line of action of the force traces.
It is obvious that for a given amount of work when one parameter is changed the other changes to counteract the change of the first one.
Imagine the situation shown in the attached figure. The amount of work that needs to be done during the lifting of the mass to a height of $\small h$ vertically is $E = mg\times h = mgh$ .
On the slope, however, one needs to push the object an $L$ distance up to get the object to that $h$ height ultimately.
The work he does on the slope is $mgh = F\times L$ and since $L > h$ , $F < mg$ .
The force that needs to be applied is less than that applied in the vertical lift. Hence it feels easier. #SPJ4

A disoriented physics professor drives 3.22 km north, then 4.75 km west, then 1.90 km south. find the magnitude and direction of

Andre45 [30]

It can be noted that the directions west and north are perpendicular to each other. hence we can use the right angle formula for calculating total distance in these directions. Also South is just negative north. This technique is called euclidean distance norm. It is the basis of Cartesian coordinate system.

Total distance = 3.22 N + 4.75 W +1.90 S

= 1.32 N + 4.75 W

D = $\sqrt{N^2 + W^2}$

D = 4.93 Km

direction = atan(N/W) = 15.53 deg north of west

A boat of mass 225 kg drifts along a river at a speed of 21 m/s to the west. what impulse is required to decrease the speed of t

zzz [600]

The impulse required to decrease the speed of the boat is equal to the variation of momentum of the boat:
$J=\Delta p=m \Delta v$
where
m=225 kg is the mass of the boat
$\Delta v=v_f-v_i=15 m/s-21 m/s=-6 m/s$ is the variation of velocity of the boat
By substituting the numbers into the first equation, we find the impulse:
$J=m\Delta v=(225 kg)(-6 m/s)=-1350 N s$
and the negative sign means the direction of the impulse is against the direction of motion of the boat.

A circular loop of wire with a radius of 15.0cm and oriented in the horizontal xy-plane is located in a region of uniform magnet

Drupady [299]

Answer:

See answer

Explanation:

The area of the circular loop is given by:

$A = \pi r^2$

The magnetic flux is given by:

$\phi = \int \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{A}$

$d\vec{A}$ is parallel to $\vec{B}$ and $\vec{B}$ is constant in magnitude and direction therefore:

$\phi = \int \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{A}= \int BdAcos(0)= B\int dA= B*(\pi r^2)= \pi Br^2$

Part A)

initially the flux is $\phi =\pi B r^2$

after the interval $\Delta t= 2.4 [m/s]$

the flux is

$\phi = 0$

now, the EMF is defined as:

$\epsilon =- \frac{d \phi}{dt}$ ,

if we consider $\Delta t= 2.4 [m/s]$ very small then we can re-write it as:

$\epsilon =- \frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}$

$\Delta \phi = 0 - \pi B r^2=-\pi (1.7) (0.15)^2=-0.12$

then:

$\epsilon =- \frac{-0.12}{0.0024} = 50 [V]$

Part B)

When looked down from above, the current flows counter clockwise, according to the right hand rule, if you place your thumb upwards (the direction of the magnetic field) and close your fingers, then the current will flow in the direction of your fingers.
