Gravitational force:
F = G * m1 * m2 / r²
And gravitational constant: G = 6.67 * 10^(-11) m³/kgs²
Therefore:
r = sqrt ( G * m1 * m2 / F ) =
= sqrt ( 6.67 * 10^(-11) m³/kgs² * 1.3 * 10^(22) kg * 1.6 * 10^(21) / 3.61 * 10^(18) N ) =
= sqrt ( 3.84 * 10^(14) ) = 1.96 * 10^(7) m ≈ 2 * 10^(7) m
Answer:
A ) 2.0 * 10^(7) m

The lifetime of a cheap light bulb is an exponential random variable with mean 36 hours. Suppose that 16 light bulbs are tested
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

P(T

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

The exponential distribution is "the probability distribution of the time between events in a Poisson process (a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate). It is a particular case of the gamma distribution". The probability density function is given by:

P(X=x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}, x>0

And 0 for other case. Let X the random variable that represent "The number of years a radio functions" and we know that the distribution is given by:

X \sim Exp(\lambda=\frac{1}{16})

Or equivalently:

X \sim Exp(\mu=16)

Solution to the problem

For this case we are interested in the total T, and we can find the mean and deviation for this like this:

\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}=\frac{T}{n}

If we solve for T we got:

T= n\bar X

And the expected value is given by:

E(T) = n E(\bar X)= n \mu= 16*36=576

And we can find the variance like this:

Var(T) = Var(n\bar X)=n^2 Var(\bar X)= n^2 *\frac{\sigma^2}{n}=n \sigma^2

And then the deviation is given by:

Sd(T)= \sqrt{n} \sigma=\sqrt{16} *36=144

And the distribution for the total is:

T\sim N(n\mu, \sqrt{n}\sigma)

And we want to find this probability:

P(T< 600)

And we can use the z score formula given by:

z=\frac{T- \mu_T}{\sigma_T}

And replacing we got this:

P(T

If one worker can assemble 9 products per hour, and another worker can assemble 6 products per hour, how long will it take them
leva [86]

Answer:

  3 hours 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Together, the workers can assemble 9 + 6 = 15 products per hour. So the assembly of 50 products will take ...

  (50 products)/(15 products/hour) = 50/15 hours = 3 1/3 hours

The two workers can assemble 50 products in 3 1/3 hours.

TU = 3, RS = 15, TW = 4, TR = 9; Assume that the sides of triangle TUW are proportional to the sides of triangle TRS. What is th
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

  WS=8\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar

then

the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal and the corresponding angles are also equal

In this problem

\frac{TU}{TR}=\frac{UW}{RS}=\frac{TW}{TS}

we have

TU=3\ units, RS=15\ units, TW=4\ units,TR=9\ units

Find the value of TS

\frac{TU}{TR}=\frac{TW}{TS}

substitute

\frac{3}{9}=\frac{4}{TS}

TS=36/3=12\ units

WS=TS-TW

WS=12-4=8\ units

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

A car uses 1 liter of gas every 12 kilometers.
Alexxandr [17]
The answer is 36,000 because 1 km=1,000 m. Since 1 liter is used every 12 km and you are finding out how many m you will go, you change the km to m and you will multiply it by 3.

12,000x3=36,000 m
