Answer:

false

Explanation:

If they were farther apart they would be able to slip by through which means that it can go by faster. If the atoms where closer together then yes they would be able to go by slower.

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

sattari [20]

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.

Weigt A box sitting still on the ground by itself has a weight of 700N, what is the mass? (gravity's acceleration is 9.80 m/s2)

Alex

Force=700N
Acceleration=9.8m/s^2

Using newtons law

$\\ \rm\longmapsto F=ma$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto m=\dfrac{F}{a}$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto m=\dfrac{700}{9.8}$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto m=71.4kg$

Answer:

9.73 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

Explanation:

According to Heisenberg uncertainty principle

Uncertainty in position x uncertainty in momentum ≥ h / 4π

Δ X x Δp ≥ h / 4π

Δp = mΔV

ΔV = Uncertainty in velocity

= 2 x 10⁻⁶ x 3 / 100

= 6 x 10⁻⁸

mass m = 0.9 x 10⁻¹⁵ x 10⁻³ kg

m = 9 x 10⁻¹⁹

Δp = mΔV

= 9 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 6 x 10⁻⁸

= 54 x 10⁻²⁷

Δ X x Δp ≥ h / 4π

Δ X x 54 x 10⁻²⁷ ≥ h / 4π

Δ X = h / 4π x 1 / 54 x 10⁻²⁷

= $\frac{6.6\times10^{-34}}{4\times3.14\times54\times10^{-27}}$

= 9.73 x 10⁻¹⁰ m
