Say you want to make a sling by swinging a mass m of 1.9 kg in a horizontal circle of radius 0.042 m, using a string of length 0.042 m. you wish the mass to have a kinetic energy of 15.0 joules when released. how strong will the string need to be? (how much tension will there be in the string? )

The number of passengers who arrive at the platform of a subway station for the 10 am train is a random variable with a mean of 120 and a variance of 16. find the lower bound of the probability that there will be between 100 and 140 passengers (round off to second decimal place).

Acommon technique in analysis of scientific data is normalization. the purpose of normalizing data is to eliminate irrelevant constants that can obscure the salient features of the data. the goal of this experiment is to test the hypothesis that the flux of light decreases as the square of the distance from the source. in this case, the absolute value of the voltage measured by the photometer is irrelevant; only the relative value conveys useful information. suppose that in part 2.2.2 of the experiment, students obtain a signal value of 162 mv at a distance of 4 cm and a value of 86 mv at a distance of 5.7 cm. normalize the students' data to the value obtained at 4 cm. (divide the signal value by 162.) then calculate the theoretically expected (normalized) value at 5.7 cm.

Which of the following statements are true for an isothermal process? check all that apply. - during an isothermal process, the work done by the gas equals the heat added to the gas. - during an isothermal process, the internal energy of the system changes. - an isothermal process is carried out at constant temperature. - an isothermal process is carried out at constant pressure. - an isothermal process is carried out at constant volume.
