Answer: hi your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer :

  • population parameter( μ ) : mean speed of light measured by Albert Michelson
  • null hypothesis ( H₀ ) : μ = 299,710.5km/s.
  • Alternate hypothesis ( Hₐ ) : μ ≠ 299,710.5 km/sec
  • Random variable :  Speed of light measured by Albert Michelson.

Explanation:

Using the information provided in the question attached I will match each term with its corresponding meaning

  • population parameter( μ ) : mean speed of light measured by Albert Michelson, here the parameter of interest is the speed of light measured/recorded by Albert which is represented as population mean μ
  • null hypothesis ( H₀ ) : μ = 299,710.5km/s. given that the test is to determine if the speed of light recorded by both scientists are the same
  • Alternate hypothesis ( Hₐ ) : μ ≠ 299,710.5 km/sec. given that the test is to determine if the speed of light recorded by both scientists are the same
  • Random variable ( x ) : Speed of light measured by Albert Michelson. her we are trying to bring to conclusion data measured by Albert Michelson

A 1.50 cm high diamond ring is placed 20.0 cm from a concave mirror with radius of curvature 30.00 cm. The magnification is ____
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Magnification, m = -0.42

Explanation:

It is given that,

Height of diamond ring, h = 1.5 cm

Object distance, u = -20 cm

Radius of curvature of concave mirror, R = 30 cm

Focal length of mirror, f = R/2 = -15 cm (focal length is negative for concave mirror)

Using mirror's formula :

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}, f = focal length of the mirror

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{-15}+\dfrac{1}{-20}

v = -8.57 cm

The magnification of a mirror is given by,

m=\dfrac{-v}{u}

m=\dfrac{-(-8.57)}{-20}

m = -0.42

So, the magnification of the concave mirror is 0.42. Thew negative sign shows that the image is inverted.

In lecture, it was discussed measurements of mass, temperature, time, volume and length. which of these is not an si base unit (
photoshop1234 [79]

From the options provided in the question, the measurement which is not an SI base unit is volume.

<h3>What is SI base unit?</h3>

This is referred to as the standard and fundamental unit of measurement of various quantities or variables which is defined arbitrarily and not by combinations of other units.

Volume is a quantity which is derived from the combination of lengths in a  three-dimensional manner which is why the formula is length× breadth×height and the unit is cm³. This is gotten from the combination of the unit of length which is cm.

This is therefore the reason why volume was chosen as the most appropriate choice.

Some miners wish to remove water from a mine shaft. A pipe is lowered to the water 90 m below, and a negative pressure is applie
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Pipe is lowered to the water h=90\ m

Negative Pressure is applied to raise the water

Pressure is given by

P=\rho gh

where P=pressure

\rho =Density

h=depth

P=10^3\times 9.8\times 90

P=8.82\times 10^{5}\ N/m^2\approx 8.82\ atm

(b)8.82 atm is much lower than the vapor pressure of water

(c)The fact of applying a negative pressure of 8.74 below the vapor pressure of water

A- 1000 m/s2<br> Xi-0m<br> Xf-0.75m<br> Vf-?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

The final velocity of the object is,  v_{f} = 27 m/s    

Explanation:

Given,

The acceleration of the object, a = 1000 m/s²

The initial displacement of the object, x_{i} = 0 m

The final displacement of the object,  x_{f} = 0.75 m

The initial velocity of the object will be, v_{i} = o m/s

The final velocity of the object, v_{f} = ?

The average velocity of the object,

                                    v = ( x_{f} - x_{i} )/ t

                                      = 0.75 / t

The acceleration is given by the relation

                                     a = v / t

                                   1000 m/s² = 0.75 / t²

                                            t² = 7.5 x 10⁻⁴

                                            t = 0.027 s

Using the I equation of motion,

                                  v_{f} = u + at

Substituting the values

                                   v_{f} = 0 + 1000 x 0.027

                                                           = 27 m/s

Hence, the final velocity of the object is,  v_{f} = 27 m/s
