A skier of mass 82.9 kg starts from rest at the top of a frictionless incline of height 20 m. At the bottom of the incline, the

skier encounters a horizontal surface. The skier travels on the horizontal surface a distance of 95.2 meters before coming to a rest. What is the magnitude of the (constant) friction force (in N) that the rough horizontal surface exerts on the skier

Answer: 170.67 N

Explanation:

Given

Mass of skier is m=82.9\ kg

Height of the inclination is h=20\ m

Here, the potential energy of the skier is converted into kinetic energy which is consumed by the friction force by applying a constant force that does work to stop the skier.

\Rightarrow mgh=F\cdot x\quad \quad [\text{F=constant friction force}]\\\\\Rightarrow 82.9\times 9.8\times 20=F\cdot 95.2\\\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{16,248.4}{95.2}\\\\\Rightarrow F=170.67\ N

Thus, the horizontal friction force is 170.67 N.

Use technology and the given confidence level and sample data to find the confidence interval for the population mean muμ. Assum
Ronch [10]

Answer:

a.  μ_{95%} = 3 ± 1.8 = [1.2,4.8]

b. The correct answer is option D. No, because the sample size is large enough.

Explanation:

a. The population mean can be determined using a confidence interval which is made up of a point estimate from a given sample and the calculation error margin. Thus:

μ_{95%} = x_±(t*s)/sqrt(n)

where:

μ_{95%} = = is the 95% confidence interval estimate

x_ = mean of the sample = 3

s = standard deviation of the sample = 5.8

n = size of the sample = 41

t = the t statistic for 95% confidence and 40 (n-1) degrees of freedom = 2.021

substituting all the variable, we have:

μ_{95%} = 3 ± (2.021*5.8)/sqrt(41) = 3 ± 1.8 = [1.2,4.8]

b. The correct answer is option D. No, because the sample size is large enough.

Using the the Central Limit Theorem which states that regardless of the distribution shape of the underlying population, a sampling distribution of size which is ≥ 30 is normally distributed.

You throw a rock straight up into the air with a speed of 14.2 m/s. how long does it take the rock to reach its highest point?
slega [8]

The acceleration of gravity on or near the Earth's surface is 9.8 m/s² downward.
Is that right ?           I don't hear any objection, so I'll assume that it is.

That means that during every second that gravity is the only force on an object,
the object either gains 9.8m/s of downward speed, or it loses 9.8m/s of upward
speed.   (The same thing.)

If the rock starts out going up at 14.2 m/s, and loses 9.8 m/s of upward speed
every second, it runs out of upward gas in (14.2/9.8) = <em>1.449 seconds</em> (rounded)

At that point, since it has no more upward speed, it can't go any higher.  Right ?

Imagine your teacher asks you to design an experiment where you test the effect of temperature on the growth of a plant. You hav
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be-

1. Dependent variable- The growth of plant in the form of height

2. Independent variable- different temperature

3. Constant variable- The amount of water, amount of sunlight, type of soil.

Explanation:

A Scientific experiment must include three types of variables which are: The independent, dependent and the constant variable.

1. Independent variable- The variable which can be modified or changed either on its own or manually. The variable directly influences the variable to be studied. In the given condition, the independent variable is the different temperature provided to the plants.

2. Dependent variable- The variable which is being studied in the experiment and directly influenced by the independent variable is the growth of the plant which is measured in the form of height.

3. Constant variable- The variable which is kept constant throughout the experiment and remains the same which could be the amount of water amount of sunlight and type of soil.
