Answer:

Girls = 16

Total students = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

40% of the students are girls, this means 60% of the students are boys.

To find the number of girls, setup a proportion using the percentages and actual number of students in the class. I am going to make the numerator the numbers that go with the girls and the denominator will be the numbers that go with the boys.

Also let's convert the percentages to decimals by moving the decimal two places left.

40% = 0.4 and 60% = 0.6

\frac{.4}{.6} =\frac{g}{24} \\.6g=9.6\\\frac{.6g}{.6} =\frac{9.6}{.6} \\g=16

Now let's find the total number of students by adding the number of girls to the number of boys.

16 + 24 = 40

A geometric sequence is defined by the equation an = (3)3 − n.
Delvig [45]
PART A

The geometric sequence is defined by the equation

a_{n}=3^{3-n}

To find the first three terms, we put n=1,2,3

When n=1,

a_{1}=3^{3-1}

a_{1}=3^{2}

a_{1}=9
When n=2,

a_{2}=3^{3-2}
a_{2}=3^{1}

a_{2}=3

When n=3

a_{3}=3^{3-3}

a_{3}=3^{0}
a_{1}=1
The first three terms are,

9,3,1

PART B

The common ratio can be found using any two consecutive terms.

The common ratio is given by,
r= \frac{a_{2}}{a_{1}}
r = \frac{3}{9}

r = \frac{1}{3}

PART C

To find
a_{11}

We substitute n=11 into the equation of the geometric sequence.

a_{11} = {3}^{3 - 11}

This implies that,

a_{11} = {3}^{ - 8}

a_{11} = \frac{1}{ {3}^{8} }

a_{11}=\frac{1}{6561}

A constant force acts on a 30-g object and produces an acceleration of 2 m/s2. Find the force in dynes.
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Force      F = 60 ×10⁻⁵ N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that mass of the given object (m)  = 30 grams

Given that the acceleration

                                 a = 2 m/s²

<u><em>Force:-</em></u>

The push or pull on an object with mass that causes it to change its velocity

  • Force can make a body that is rest to move
  • it can accelerate the speed of a moving body

<u><em>Formula for force</em></u>

The formula for force    F = m a

                                      F = 30 × 2

                                     F  = 60 gm/s²

                                   F = 60 ×10⁻⁵ N     (∵ 1 d y n = 1gm² = 10⁻⁵N
