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.

What is the risk when a pwc passes too closely behind another boat?
Lemur [1.5K]
The risk when a PWC (Personal Water Craft) passes too closely behind another boat is creating a blind spot. Blind spot can create a collision. 
The boat will block the view of the PWC of oncoming boats, as well as the oncoming boat's view of the PWC.So, that's why it is very important to maintain a proper lookout while turning the PWC and beware of your blind spots.

Consider an object with s=12cm that produces an image with s′=15cm. Note that whenever you are working with a physical object, t
Leni [432]

A. 6.67 cm

The focal length of the lens can be found by using the lens equation:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{s'}

where we have

f = focal length

s = 12 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

s' = 15 cm is the distance of the image from the lens

Solving the equation for f, we find

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{12 cm}+\frac{1}{15 cm}=0.15 cm^{-1}\\f=\frac{1}{0.15 cm^{-1}}=6.67 cm

B. Converging

According to sign convention for lenses, we have:

- Converging (convex) lenses have focal length with positive sign

- Diverging (concave) lenses have focal length with negative sign

In this case, the focal length of the lens is positive, so the lens is a converging lens.

C. -1.25

The magnification of the lens is given by

M=-\frac{s'}{s}

where

s' = 15 cm is the distance of the image from the lens

s = 12 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

Substituting into the equation, we find

M=-\frac{15 cm}{12 cm}=-1.25

D. Real and inverted

The magnification equation can be also rewritten as

M=\frac{y'}{y}

where

y' is the size of the image

y is the size of the object

Re-arranging it, we have

y'=My

Since in this case M is negative, it means that y' has opposite sign compared to y: this means that the image is inverted.

Also, the sign of s' tells us if the image is real of virtual. In fact:

- s' is positive: image is real

- s' is negative: image is virtual

In this case, s' is positive, so the image is real.

E. Virtual

In this case, the magnification is 5/9, so we have

M=\frac{5}{9}=-\frac{s'}{s}

which can be rewritten as

s'=-M s = -\frac{5}{9}s

which means that s' has opposite sign than s: therefore, the image is virtual.

F. 12.0 cm

From the magnification equation, we can write

s'=-Ms

and then we can substitute it into the lens equation:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{s'}\\\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{-Ms}

and we can solve for s:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{M-1}{Ms}\\f=\frac{Ms}{M-1}\\s=\frac{f(M-1)}{M}=\frac{(-15 cm)(\frac{5}{9}-1}{\frac{5}{9}}=12.0 cm

G. -6.67 cm

Now the image distance can be directly found by using again the magnification equation:

s'=-Ms=-\frac{5}{9}(12.0 cm)=-6.67 cm

And the sign of s' (negative) also tells us that the image is virtual.

H. -24.0 cm

In this case, the image is twice as tall as the object, so the magnification is

M = 2

and the distance of the image from the lens is

s' = -24 cm

The problem is asking us for the image distance: however, this is already given by the problem,

s' = -24 cm

so, this is the answer. And the fact that its sign is negative tells us that the image is virtual.

Two very large parallel metal plates, separated by 0.20 m, are connected across a 12-V source of potential. An electron is relea
Semmy [17]

Answer:

{\rm K} = 2.4\times 10^{-19}~J

Explanation:

The electric field inside a parallel plate capacitor is

E = \frac{Q}{2\epsilon_0 A}

where A is the area of one of the plates, and Q is the charge on the capacitor.

The electric force on the electron is

F = qE = \frac{qQ}{2\epsilon_0 A}

where q is the charge of the electron.

By definition the capacitance of the capacitor is given by

C = \epsilon_0\frac{A}{d} = \frac{Q}{V}\\\frac{Q}{\epsilon_0 A} = \frac{V}{d} = \frac{12}{0.20} = 60

Plugging this identity into the force equation above gives

F = \frac{qQ}{2\epsilon_0 A} = \frac{q}{2}(\frac{Q}{\epsilon_0 A}) = \frac{q}{2}60 = 30q

The work done by this force is equal to change in kinetic energy.

W = Fx = (30q)(0.05) = 1.5q = K

The charge of the electron is 1.6 \times 10^{-19}

Therefore, the kinetic energy is 2.4\times 10^{-19}

An experiment is designed to test what color of light will activate a photoelectric cell the best. The photocell is set in a cir
Natalija [7]

A photoelectric cell is an electronic device which is used to convert light energy into electric energy.The operation of this device is based on photoelectric effect.

Light of suitable frequency i.e greater or equal to threshold frequency will fall on the cathode maintained at negative potential.The electron emission will take place and these electrons are drifted towards the anode which is at positive potential.

Here,only those radiations will be capable of emitting electrons irrespective of surface barrier of metals whose energy is greater than the work function.

We know that the radiation having long wavelength has least energy as energy and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other.

Mathematically\ energy\ E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Here h is the Planck's constant,c is the velocity of light.

Here we have been given red light and blue light.

In the visible spectrum of radiation, the red light has longer wavelength than all other colors of light.Hence blue light has more energy as it's wavelength is less as compared to red light.

Hence, the blue light will activate the most and red the least.
