A professor marks an exam and, after compilation of the grades,she finds that her 25 students obtained a class mean of 70%. On the other hand, the median is 74% and the mode is 78%. a) At least how many students scored 74% or more? Explain briefly. b) What could explain that the mean is less than the median? c)Is this grade distribution symmetric, right skewed, or left skewed? Explain briefly. d)One student asks the professor to review his grade....
This problem is taken from Ahlborn's Zoological Physics, P 5.2. Two young people jump down from a height of h = 2.0 m onto the forest floor which has a mud hole and a rocky flat. The boy (M = 70 kg) lands with stiff legs on the muddy ground, which "gives" so that he depresses the ground by Delta_y = 5 cm when being decelerated from the impact velocity U_0 to 0. Determine the impact speed U_0. Calculate the...
1.) A 1.7-kg falcon catches and holds onto a 0.675-kg dove from behind in midair. What is their final speed, in meters per second, after impact if the falcon’s speed is initially 27 m/s and the dove’s speed is 7.5 m/s in the same direction? 2.) a.) A bowling ball of mass mb = 3.7 kg is rolled down the lane with a velocity of v1 = 2.8 m/s. It strikes a single remaining pin mp = 0.92 kg head...
Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. A merry-go-round modeled as a disk of mass M 7.00 x 101 kg and radius R 2.40 m is rotating in a horizontal plane about a frictionless vertical axle (see figure). (a) After a student with mass m 86.0 kg jumps onto the merry-go-round, the system's angular speed decreases to 1.95 rad/s. If the student walks slowly from the edge toward the center, find the angular speed of the...
A basketball starts from rest and accelerates with an a㏄eleration of 0.395 m/s2 while moving down a 9.00 m long inclined plane, when it reaches the bottom, the ball rolls up another plane, where, after moving 15.00 m, it comes to rest. (a) What is the speed of the bahe bottom of the first plane (in m/s)? (Round your answer to at least two decimal places.) m/s (b) How long does it take to roll down the first plane (in...
Part A Water runs from a sloping channel with a flow of 21 m/s onto a horizontal channel, forming a hydraulic jump. The channel is 2 m wide, and the water is y1 = 0.75 m deep before the jump. (Figure 1) Determine the depth Y2 of water after the jump. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. μΑ ? Figure y2 = Value 1 of 1 Units Submit Request Answer Part B Y2 What...
A ski starts from rest and slides down a 24 ∘ incline 95 m long. If the coefficient of friction is 0.095, what is the ski's speed at the base of the incline? Express your answer using two significant figures. If the snow is level at the foot of the incline and has the same coefficient of friction, how far will the ski travel along the level? Use energy methods. Express your answer using two significant figures.
Solve the following Doppler Shift problems. Show your work. 1. A concert goer hurries down the aisle to her seat at a speed of 3 m/s. What frequency does she hear when the note A (440 Hz) is played by an instrument of stage if the speed of sound in the concert hall is 343 m/s? 2. A fire engine with a 600 Hz siren approaches then passes a stationary observer. If the engine is traveling at 20 m/s on...
