A physicist is studying the properties of a pendulum to see if working in a bathyscaphe at the bottom of the Marianas Trench (10,916 meters below sea level!) changes its movement. The initial swing of the pendulum covers a distance of 50cm and each subsequent swing covers 90% of the distance of the previous swing. What is the total distance the pendulum has moved after 20 swings?

Aresearcher plans to conduct a test of hypotheses at the 1% significance level. she designs her study to have a power of 0.90 at a particular alternative value of the parameter of interest. the probability that the researcher will commit a type ii error for the particular alternative value of the parameter at which she computed the power is: a. 0.90. b. 0.01. c. 0.10. d. equal to 1

Adiver in midair has an angular velocity of 6.0 rad/s and a moment of inertia of 1.2 kg·m2. he then pulls is arms and legs into a tuck position and his angular velocity increases to 12 rad/s. the net external torque acting on the diver is zero. what is his moment of inertia in the tuck position?
