A leak in a pool causes the height of the water to decrease by 0.25 foot over 2 hours. After the leak is fixed, the height of th

e water is 4.75 feet. The equation 4.75 = x + (negative 0.25) can be used to find x, the original height of the water in a pool.

The original height  of the water in a pool is 5 ft , Option B is the correct answer.

<h3>What is an Equation ?</h3>

An equation can be defined as a mathematical statement when two algebraic expressions are equated using an equal sign.

It is given in the question that

A leak in a pool causes the height of the water to decrease by 0.25 foot over 2 hours.

the height of the water is 4.75 feet.

The equation

4.75 = x + (negative 0.25)

can be used to find x, the original height of the water in a pool.

4.75 = x - 0.25

x = 5

Therefore the original height  of the water in a pool is 5 ft , Option B is the correct answer.

When a constant force is applied to an object, the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. When a certain con
marusya05 [52]

Answer: The mass of the object is 10 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the force F applied to an object with mass m is directly proportional to its acceleration a:

F=ma (1)

If we isolate a:

a=\frac{F}{m} (2) This means the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass

Now, we are given the following data to calculate a constant force using (1):

m_{1}=4 kg

a_{1}=5 m/s^{2}

F=m_{1}a_{1} (3)

F=(4 kg)(5 m/s^{2) (4)

F=20 N (5)

If we apply this same force calulated in (4) in another object with an acceleration of a_{2}=2 m/s^{2}, its mass m_{2} will be:

F=m_{2}a_{2} (6)

20 N=m_{2}2 m/s^{2} (7)

Finding  m_{2}:

m_{2}=10 kg This is the mass of the object

x =   \frac{-(-7) +/-  \sqrt{(-7)^{2}-4(6)(-3) }  }{2(6)}
\frac{7 +/- 11}{12}
x = 3/2 or -1/3
