A hypothesis is an educated prediction that can be tested.
Answer:at 21.6 min they were separated by 12 km
Explanation:
We can consider the next diagram
B2------15km/h------->Dock
|
|
B1 at 20km/h
|
|
V
So by the time B1 leaves, being B2 traveling at constant 15km/h and getting to the dock one hour later means it was at 15km from the dock, the other boat, B1 is at a distance at a given time, considering constant speed of 20km/h*t going south, where t is in hours, meanwhile from the dock the B2 is at a distance of (15km-15km/h*t), t=0, when it is 8pm.
Then we have a right triangle and the distance from boat B1 to boat B2, can be measured as the square root of (15-15*t)^2 +(20*t)^2. We are looking for a minimum, then we have to find the derivative with respect to t. This is 5*(25*t-9)/(sqrt(25*t^2-18*t+9)), this derivative is zero at t=9/25=0,36 h = 21.6 min, now to be sure it is a minimum we apply the second derivative criteria that states that if the second derivative at the given critical point is positive it means here we have a minimum, and by calculating the second derivative we find it is 720/(25 t^2 - 18 t + 9)^(3/2) that is positive at t=9/25, then we have our answer. And besides replacing the value of t we get the distance is 12 km.
Answer:
Explanation:
The stunt will likely sustain serious injury in case of concrete blocks because the average force acting on the person will be more because concrete blocks do not squeeze to provide more time for the force to act on the body instead it acts for a small amount of interval.
As impulse is constant so time requires to act force on the body is more as compared to concrete block and thus average force in mattress case is less.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The degradation of the drug is a first order process;
Hence;
ln[A] = ln[A]o - kt
Where;
ln[A] = final concentration of the drug
ln[A]o= initial concentration of the drug = 5 gm/100
k= degradation constant = 0.05 day-1
t= time taken
When [A] =[ A]o - 0.5[A]o = 0.5[A]o
ln2.5 = ln5 - 0.05t
ln2.5- ln5 = - 0.05t
t= ln2.5- ln5/-0.05
t= 0.9162 - 1.6094/-0.05
t= 14 days
b) when [A] = [A]o - 0.9[A]o = 0.1[A]o
ln0.5 = ln5 -0.05t
t= ln0.5 - ln5/0.05
t= -0.693 - 1.6094/-0.05
t= 46 days
The answer for this question is b because it says how far it goes before he begins to take brake
