Audrey, an astronomer is searching for extra-solar planets using the technique of relativistic lensing. Though there are believe

d to be a very large number of planets that can be found this way, actually finding one takes time and luck; and finding one planet does not help at all with finding planets of other stars in the same part of the sky. Audrey is good at it, and finds one planet at a time, on average once every three months. a.) Find the expected value and

Answer:

- the expected value is 8

- the standard deviation is 2.8284

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

The model N(t), the number of planets found up to time t, as a poisson process,

∴ N(t) has distribution of poisson distribution with parameter (λt)

so

the mean is;

λ = 1 every month = 1/3 per month

E[N(t)] = λt

E[N(t)] = (1/3)(24)

E[N(t)] = 8

Therefore, the expected value is 8

For poisson process, Variance and mean are the same,

Var[N(t)] = Var[N(24)]

Var[N(t)] = E[N(24)]

Var[N(t)] = 8

so the standard deviation will be;

σ[N(24)] = √(Var[N(t)] )

σ[N(24)] = √(8 )

σ[N(24)] = 2.8284

Therefore, the standard deviation is 2.8284

You have a pendulum clock made from a uniform rod of mass M and length L pivoting around one end of the rod. Its frequency is 1
drek231 [11]

The new oscillation frequency of the pendulum clock is 1.14 rad/s.

     

The given parameters;

  • <em>Mass of the pendulum, = M </em>
  • <em>Length of the pendulum, = L</em>
  • <em>Initial angular speed, </em>\omega _i<em> = 1 rad/s</em>

The moment of inertia of the rod about the end is given as;

I_i = \frac{1}{3} ML^2

The moment of inertia of the rod between the middle and the end is calculated as;

I_f = \int\limits^L_{L/2} {r^2\frac{M}{L} } \, dr = \frac{M}{3L} [r^3]^L_{L/2} =  \frac{M}{3L} [L^3 - \frac{L^3}{8} ] = \frac{M}{3L} [\frac{7L^3}{8} ]= \frac{7ML^2}{24}

Apply the principle of conservation of angular momentum as shown below;

I _i \omega _i = I _f \omega _f\\\\\frac{ML^2}{3} (1 \ rad/s)= \frac{7ML^2}{24} \times \omega _f\\\\\frac{24 \times ML^2}{3 \times 7 ML^2} (1 \ rad/s)= \omega _f\\\\1.14 \ rad/s = \omega _f

Thus, the new oscillation frequency of the pendulum clock is 1.14 rad/s.

Vector → A points due north and vector → B points due west. Both vectors have the same magnitude. Which of the following vectors
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

B - A

Explanation:

For the combination of 2 vector to due southwest, 1 vector must due south and the other vector due west. Since vector B is already due west, vector A should due south. As vector A is already due north, vector -A would due south. So the combination of B + (-A) or B - A should points southwest

What is one of the benefits that scientists have discovered from organisms' daily exposure to radioisotopes?
Sholpan [36]

Answer: 1. Being able to carbon date fossils

From the daily exposure to radioisotopes of organisms, scientists discovered to carbon date fossils. In carbon dating, the age of organic matter can be determined from the relative proportions of C-12 and C-14 i.e. isotopes of Carbon (carbon 12 and carbon 14). This ratio changes over the years because carbon-14 decays and is not replenished as there is no exchange with the atmosphere.
