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.

Answer:

The peak current carried by the axon is 5.85 x 10⁻⁸ A

Explanation:

Given;

distance of the field from the axon, r = 1.3 mm

peak magnetic field strength, B = 9 x 10⁻¹² T

To determine the peak current carried by the axon, apply the following equation;

B = \frac{\mu I}{2\pi r}

where;

B is the peak magnetic field

r is the distance of the magnetic field from axon

μ is permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷

I is the peak current

Re-arrange the equation and solve for "I"

B = \frac{\mu I}{2\pi r} \\\\I = \frac{B*2\pi r}{\mu} \\\\I = \frac{9*10^{-12}*2*\pi *1.3*10^{-3}}{4\pi *10^{-7}} \\\\I = 5.85 *10^{-8} \ A

Therefore, the peak current carried by the axon is 5.85 x 10⁻⁸ A

You have a resistor and a capacitor of unknown values. First, you charge the capacitor and discharge it through the resistor. By
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The frequency is    f  = 0.221 \ Hz

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

     The  time taken for it to decay to half its original size is t  =  3.40 \ ms  =  3.40 *10^{-3} \ s

Let the voltage of the capacitor when it is fully charged be  V_o

Then the voltage of the capacitor at time t is  said to be  V  =  \frac{V_o}{2}

   Now  this voltage can be  mathematical represented as

      V  =  V_o  * e ^{-\frac{t}{RC} }

Where  RC  is the time constant

   substituting values  

    \frac{V_o}{2}  =  V_o  *  e ^{-\frac{3.40 *10^{-3}}{RC} }

    0.5  =  e^{-\frac{3.40 *10^{-3}}{RC} }

    - \frac{0.5}{RC}  =  ln (0.5)

     -\frac{0.5}{RC} =  -0.6931

     RC  =  0.721

Generally the cross-over frequency for a low pass filter is mathematically represented as

          f  = \frac{1}{2 \pi  * RC  }

substituting values  

           f  = \frac{1}{2*  3.142  * 0.72  }

           f  = 0.221 \ Hz

A penny is placed on a rotating turntable. Where on the turntable does the penny require the largest centripetal force to remain
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

m = mass of the penny

r = distance of the penny from the center of the turntable or axis of rotation

w = angular speed of rotation of turntable

F = centripetal force experienced by the penny

centripetal force "F" experienced by the penny of "m" at distance "r" from axis of rotation is given as

F = m r w²

in the above equation , mass of penny "m"  and angular speed "w" of the turntable is same at all places. hence the centripetal force directly depends on the radius .

hence greater the distance from center , greater will be the centripetal force to remain in place.  

So at the edge of the turntable , the penny experiences largest centripetal force to remain in place.

If a 1000-pound capsule weighs only 165 pounds on the moon, how much work is done in propelling this capsule out of the moon's g
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

178200 g mile pounds

Explanation:

Work= Force * Distance= Fh

F=ma=mg where m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity

Work= 165 pounds *g* 1080 m=  178200 g mile pounds

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity I decreases is proportional t
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Intensity of beam 18 feet below the surface is about 0.02%

Explanation:

Using Lambert's law

Let dI / dt = kI, where k is a proportionality constant, I is intensity of incident light and t is thickness of the medium

then dI / I = kdt

taking log,

ln(I) = kt + ln C

I = Ce^kt

t=0=>I=I(0)=>C=I(0)

I = I(0)e^kt

t=3 & I=0.25I(0)=>0.25=e^3k

k = ln(0.25)/3

k = -1.386/3

k = -0.4621

I = I(0)e^(-0.4621t)

I(18) = I(0)e^(-0.4621*18)

I(18) = 0.00024413I(0)

Intensity of beam 18 feet below the surface is about 0.2%
