Answer: 4 metres

Explanation:

Work done by climber = 8 J

Force applied on object = 2 N

Distance = ?

Recall that work is done when force is applied on an object over a distance.

i.e Workdone = Force x distance

8J = 2N x distance

distance = 8J/2N

distance = 4m

Thus, the object is lifted by a distance of 4 metres

A runner runs 300 m at an average speed of 3.0 m/s. She then runs another 300m at an average

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

B. 4 m/s

Explanation:

v=d/t

Running for 300 m at 3 m/s takes 100 seconds and running at 300 m at 6 m/s takes 50 seconds. 100 s + 50 s = 150 s (total time). Total distance is 600 m, so 600 m/ 150 s = 4 m/s.

A machine produces photo detectors in pairs. Tests show that the first photo detector is acceptable with probability 3/5. When t

klasskru [66]

Answer:

a. $a. \ \frac{7}{25}$

$b.\ \ \ P(D_1D_2)=\frac{6}{25}$

Explanation:

a. Find the probability that exactly one photo detector of a pair is acceptable:

Let $A_i=i^{th}$ photo is accepted and the probability $D_i=i^{th}$ is defected.

Therefore:

$P(A_i)=3/5,\ P(A_2|A_1)=4/5,\ \ P(A_2|D_1)=2/5\\\\\\=P(A_1D_2)+P(D_1A_2)\\\\=\frac{3}{5}\times\frac{1}{5}+\frac{2}{5}\times\frac{2}{5}\\\\=\frac{7}{25}$

#The probability of exactly one photo detector of a pair is accepted is 7/25

b.Find the probability that both photo detectors in a pair are defective,P(D1D2):

$P(D_1D_2)=\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{3}{5}\\\\=\frac{6}{25}$

Hence, from out tree diagram,the probability that both photo detectors in a pair are defective is 6/25

Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time. The change in velocity is -30m/s and time is 5s. If you divide -30m/s by 5s, you get -6m/s<span>².</span>

How much heat Q1 is transferred by 25.0 g of water onto the skin? To compare this to the result in the previous part, continue t

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The heat transferred from water to skin is 6913.5 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of water = 25.0 g

Suppose that water and steam, initially at 100°C, are cooled down to skin temperature, 34°C, when they come in contact with your skin. Assume that the steam condenses extremely fast. We will further assume a constant specific heat capacity c=4190 J/(kg°K) for both liquid water and steam.

We need to calculate the heat transferred from water to skin

Using formula for stream

$Q=mc\Delta T$

Put the value into the formula

$Q=25\times10^{-3}\times4190\times(373-307)$

$Q=6913.5\ J$

Hence, The heat transferred from water to skin is 6913.5 J.
