You are pulling your little sister on her sled across an icy (frictionless) surface. When you exert a constant horizontal force

of 120 N , the sled has an acceleration of 2.3 m/s2 . Part A If the sled has a mass of 8.0 kg , what is the mass of your little sister

Answer:

Mass of Little Sister = 44.17 kg

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion, the magnitude of force applied on the sled is given by the following formula:

F = ma

where,

F = Force Applied = 120 N

a = Acceleration = 2.3 m/s²

m = Mass of Sled + Mass of Little Sister = 8 kg + Mass of Little Sister

Therefore,

120 N = (2.3 m/s²)(8 kg + Mass of Little Sister)

(120 N)/(2.3 m/s²) = 8 kg + Mass of Little Sister

Mass of Little Sister = 52.17 kg - 8 kg

<u>Mass of Little Sister = 44.17 kg</u>

The diameters of bolts produced by a certain machine are normally distributed with a mean of 0.30 inches and a standard deviatio
enot [183]

Answer:

2.25 %

Explanation:

65-95-99.7 is a rule to remember the precentages that lies around the mean.

at the range of mean (\mu) plus or minus one standard deviation (\sigma), P([\mu-\sigma \leq X \leq \mu+\sigma])\approx 68.3%

at the range of mean plus or minus two standard deviation, P([\mu -2\sigma \leq X \leq \mu+2\sigma])\approx 95.5%

at the range of mean plus or minus three standard deviation, P([\mu - 3\sigma\leq X \leq \mu+3\sigma])\approx 99.7%

So, note that  they are asking about the probability that it is greater than 0.32, that is the mean (0.3) plus two times the standard deviation (0.1) (P(X \leq \mu+2\sigma))  

So we know that the 95.5% is between \mu - 2\sigma = 0.3 -2*0.1 = 0.28 and \mu + 2\sigma = 0.3 +2*0.1 = 0.32, hence approximately the 4.5% (100%-95.5%) is greater than 0.32 or less than  0.28. But half (4.5%/2=2.25%) is greater than 0.32 and the other half is less than 0.28.

So P(X \leq \mu+2\sigma) \approx 2.25%

A 9V battery is directly connected to each of 3 LED bulbs. Select the statement that accurately describes this circuit. A) A dir
Likurg_2 [28]
First off, you can cross out alternating current because a 9V battery doesn't give out AC, it gives out solely DC. If the battery is connected to each battery individually, then they are in parallel. So, according to Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, in parallel, V total = V1 = V2= V3..
So I'd say B) !

What is the kinetic energy of a 100 kg object that is moving with a speed of 12.5m/s
Doss [256]

The kinetic energy of any moving object is

                           (1/2) (mass) (speed²) .

For the object you described, that's

                            (1/2) (100 kg) (12.5 m/s)²

                         =      (50 kg)  (156.25 m²/s²)

                         =              7,812.5 joules

Assume that you stay on the earth's surface. what is the ratio of the sun's gravitational force on you to the earth's gravitatio
Pachacha [2.7K]
First, let's determine the gravitational force of the Earth exerted on you. Suppose your weight is about 60 kg. 

F = Gm₁m₂/d²
where
m₁ = 5.972×10²⁴ kg (mass of earth)
m₂ = 60 kg
d = 6,371,000 m (radius of Earth)
G = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²

F = ( 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²)(60 kg)(5.972×10²⁴ kg)/(6,371,000 m )²
F = 589.18 N

Next, we find the gravitational force exerted by the Sun by replacing,
m₁ = 1.989 × 10³⁰<span> kg
Distance between centers of sun and earth = 149.6</span>×10⁹ m
Thus,
d = 149.6×10⁹ m - 6,371,000 m = 1.496×10¹¹ m

Thus,
F = ( 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²)(60 kg)(1.989 × 10³⁰ kg)/(1.496×10¹¹ m)²
F = 0.356  N

Ratio = 0.356  N/589.18 N
<em>Ratio = 6.04</em>
