You are driving on the highway, and you come to a steep downhill section. As you roll down the hill, you take your foot off the

gas pedal. You can ignore friction, but you can't ignore air resistance.
Identify all the forces acting on the car.

Answer:

Explanation: Here you know that:

The car is in downhill (so the gravitational force accelerates the car downhill)

we can ignore the friction (so there is no force of friction)

We can not ignore the air resistance (so whe have force of air resistance that is oposite to the direction in which the car moves)

You take the foot of the gas pedal (so there is no intrinsic acceleration of the car)

then the only two forces are the component of the gravitational force in the downhill direction, and the force of the air resistance that is in opposite direction than the gravitational force.

When a mass of 25 g is attached to a certain spring, it makes 20 complete vibrations in 4.0 s. what is the spring constant of th
earnstyle [38]

Answer: The spring  of the spring is 25 N/m.

Explanation:

Mass of the body = 25 g= 0.025 kg (1 kg = 1000 g)

Oscillation is 4 sec = 20

Oscillation in 1 sec =\frac{20}{4}=5

Frequency of the vibration of the spring = 5 s^{-1}=5 Hz

Force constant can be calculated bu using the relation between the frequency and, mass and spring constant 'k'

Frequency=\frac{1}{2\pi}\times \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

5 s^{-1}=\frac{1}{2\times 3.14}\times \sqrt{\frac{k}{0.025 kg}}

k=24.649 N/m\approx 25 N/m

The spring  of the spring is 25 N/m.

Microwave ovens emit microwave energy with a wavelength of 12.6 cm. what is the energy of exactly one photon of this microwave r
Helga [31]

We need the frequency of the photon, it is v = c/ λ

Where c is 3 x 10^8 ms^-1 and λ is the wave length

We also need the expression of connecting frequency to energy of photon 

which is E = hv where h is Planck’s constant

Combining the two equations will give us:

E = h x c/λ

Inserting the values, we will have:

E = 6.626 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8 / 0.126

E = 1.578 x 10^ -24 J

faust18 [17]

The random variable in this experiment is a Continuous random variable.

Option D

<u>Explanation</u>:

The continuous random variable is random variable where the data can take infinite variables. For example random variable is taken for measuring "speed of automobiles" on the highways. The radar instrument depicts time taken by automobile in particular what speed. They are the generalization of discrete random variables not the real numbers as a random data is created. It gives infinite sets of all possible outcomes. It is obvious that outcomes of the instrument depend on some "physical variables" those are not predictable as depends on the situation.
