Suppose there are 3 molecules in a container. If each molecule has a 1-in-2 chance of being in the left half of the container, what is the probability that there are exactly 2 molecules in the left half of the container?

Total probability = 3/8

Explanation:

Below is the calculation:

Number of molecules in the container = 3

The probability of one molecule in the left half, P = 3 / 2 = 1.5 or 1/2

The probability of second molecule in the left half, P1 = (3/4)

Total probability = P x P1

Total probability = (1/2) x (3/4)

Total probability = 3/8

at positions a, g kinetic energy is maximum.

at position d, potential energy is maximum.

force is mass*acceleration.

we have a very small mass: 11.4*0.001 kg

if we want 0.035n of force, we need an acceleration:

0.035 = 11.4*0.001*a

a = 0.035/(11.4*0.001) m/s^2
