Fish are hung on a spring scale to determine their mass (most fishermen feel no obligation to report the mass truthfully). (a) W

hat is the force constant (in N/m) of the spring in such a scale if it stretches 8.50 cm for a 12.0 kg load?

Answer:

1411.8 N/m

Explanation:

From Hooke's law;

F= Ke

Where

F= force on the spring

K= force constant

e = extension

But e= 8.50 × 10^-2m

F= weight = 12.0 kg × 10 = 120 N

K = F/e = 120/8.50 × 10^-2

K= 1411.8 N/m

When she rides her bike, she gets to her first classroom building 36 minutes faster than when she walks. Of her average walking
postnew [5]

Answer:

d=2.4\ miles

Explanation:

Given:

  • average walking speed, v_w=3\ mph
  • average biking speed, v_b=12\ mph

<u>According to given condition:</u>

t_w=t_b+\frac{36}{60}

where:

t_w= time taken to reach the building by walking

t_b= time taken to reach the building by biking

We know that,

\rm time=\frac{distance}{speed}

so,

\frac{d}{v_w} =\frac{d}{v_b} +\frac{36}{60}

\frac{d}{3}=\frac{d}{12} +\frac{3}{5}

d=2.4\ miles

Which experiment has a non-uniform probability model? Select two answers. A. Tossing a fair coin one time B. Randomly guessing t
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

C and D

Explanation:

A uniform probability model is a probabilistic model characterized by a uniform probability density function, or uniform distribution.

In common language, a uniform probability distribution means that all possible outcomes in the probability space have the same probability of occurrence.

So:

- A fair toss of coin every possible outcome (H,T) has probability 0.5. It is modeled by by a uniform discrete distribution.

- Randomly selected answer to an MCQ with four options would have probability of success 0.25 for every MCQ. It is modeled by by a uniform discrete distribution.  

- Spinning a spinner with sections that are different sizes, each section would have different probabilities proportional to the coverage area on the. It is modeled by a non-uniform discrete distribution

- Pulling a red marble out of a bag with 6 red marbles, 3 green marbles, and 1 yellow marble. Each successive time a red marble is drawn the probability decreases. Hence, non uniform distribution.

- Spinning a spinner on which all sections are the same size. Each section would have similar probabilities proportional to the coverage area on the. It is modeled by a uniform discrete distribution .

Find the resultant force of the following forces :
bezimeni [28]

The resultant of the given forces is; 6√2 N

<h3>How to find the resultant of forces</h3>

We are given the forces as;

10 N along the x-axis which is +10 N in the x-direction

6 N along the y-axis which is +6N in the y-direction

4 N along the negative x-axis which is -4N

Thus;

Resultant force in the x-direction is; 10 - 4 = 6N

Resultant force in the y-direction is; 6N

Thus;

Total resultant force = √(6² + 6²)

Total resultant force = 6√2 N
