The force of attraction (A) between two objects, whose masses are fixed, varies inversely with the square of their distance of separation (d). The force of attraction between them is 2 units when the dis- tance is 5 cm. What is the distance between the two objects, if the attraction between them is 8 units?

Answer:

\boxed{\sf distance \: between \:  the \: objects \: \: is  \: 2.5 \: cm}

Step-by-step explanation:

According to universal law of gravitation every object in the universe attracts every other particles that surrounds it with a force which is inversely proportional to the square of their distance of separation & directly proportional to

the product of their masses, given by standard formula.

A = G \cdot  \frac{m_1.m_2}{ {d}^{2} }

where A,d & G are force of attraction, distance of separation & proportionality constant respectively.

<em>Given:</em>

A1 = 2 units

d1= 5 cm

A2 = 8 units

<em>To find:</em>

Distance of separation when the force of attraction is 8 units d2 = ?

<em>Solution:</em>

Substituting the given values in above at each point,

A_1 = G \cdot  \frac{m_1.m_2}{ {d_1}^{2} }  \\ 2 = G \cdot  \frac{m_1.m_2}{ {5}^{2} }  \\  \sf similarly  \: at \:  second \:  point \:  of  \: attraction \\  A_2 = G \cdot  \frac{m_1.m_2}{ {d_2}^{2} }  \\ 8 = G \cdot  \frac{m_1.m_2}{ {d_2}^{2} }  \\  \sf \: \: dividing \:  both  \: of \:  the \:  equation \\  \frac{2}{8}  =  \frac{G \cdot  \frac{m_1.m_2}{ {5}^{2} }}{G \cdot  \frac{m_1.m_2}{ {d_2}^{2} } }  \\  \sf \: G \: m_1 and \: m_2  \: are \:   \: constant  \: hence  \\ \sf  they \:  can  \: be  \: cancelled \:  out  \\  \frac{2}{8}  =  \frac{ \frac{1}{ {5}^{2} } }{ \frac{1}{ {d_2}^{2} } }  \\  \sf rearranging \: above \: equation \\  \frac{1}{4}  =  \frac{{d_2}^{2} }{ {5}^{2} }  \\ {d_2}^{2}  =   \frac{ {5}^{2} }{4 }  \\ {d_2}^{2}  =  \frac{25}{4}   \\ {d_2}^{2}  = 6.25 \\  \sqrt{{d_2}^{2} }  =  \sqrt{6.25}  \\  \boxed{ \sf{d_2} = 2.5 \: cm}

<em>Answer:</em><em> </em><em>the distance between the two </em><em>objects </em><em>is </em><em>2</em><em>.</em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>cm</em><em>, if the attraction between them is 8 </em><em>units.</em>

Find either the maximum or the minimum value of the following quadratic equation. Be sure to show all of your work and identify
podryga [215]

Answer:

the minimum is (1,-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x^2 - 10x - 4

since the parabola opens upward  5>0, this will have a minimum

it will occur along the axis of symmetry h=-b/2a

y =ax^2 +bx+c

h = -(-10)/2*5

h  = 10/10 =1

the minimum occurs at x =1

the y value for the minimum is calculated by substituting x =1 back into the equation

y = 5 * 1^2 - 10*1 -4

y = 5*1^2 -10 -4

y = 5-10-4

y = -9

the minimum is (1,-9)

The gym teacher has $250 to spend on volleyball equipment. She buys 4 volleyball nets for $28 each. Volleyballs cost $7 each. Ho
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

The maximum number of volleyballs that she can buy is 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of volleyballs

we know that

The cost of each volleyball net ($28) by the number of volleyball nets (4) plus the cost of each volleyball ($7) multiplied by the number of volleyballs (x) must be less than or equal to $250

so

The inequality that represent this situation is

28(4)+7x\leq 250

Solve for x

112+7x\leq 250

subtract 112 both sides

7x\leq 250-112

7x\leq 138

Divide by 7 both sides

x\leq 19.7

therefore

The maximum number of volleyballs that she can buy is 19

The number of cable TV systems recently decreased from 16,300 to 16,020. Find the percent decrease.
irga5000 [103]
Percent decrease = (change in value) / (original value)

change in value = 9965-10100 =-135

We will just use 135 because the negative just that the value decreased

original value = 10100

So 135 / 10100 = .0134

This is a decrease of 1.34%
