Displacement is a vector quantity in such a way that it only takes into account the final and initial position of a body while the distance takes into account all the distances that have been traveled. When the trail is a straight line, the magnitude of the displacement and distance should only be the same.

When you are hiking along a trail, you will be taking some turns and not all direction will going up, some will be even horizontal. The distance you will travel will be the total length you walked along the trail. The displacement is the just distance between your starting point and where your final destination is.

An air conditioning system can circulate 320 cubic feet of air per minute. How many cubic yards of air can it circulate per minu

Agata [3.3K]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, an air conditioning system can circulate 320 cubic feet of air per minute. We need to find how many cubic yards of air can it circulate per minute?

1 yard = 3 foot

1 feet = (1/3) yard

320 feet = 106.66 yard

$320\ \text{feet}^3=320\times( \dfrac{1}{3})^3\ \text{yard}^3\\\\=11.85\ \text{yard}^3$

So, it will circulate 11.85 cubic yard of air per minute.

In triangle ABC, c is the hypotenuse, 0=25°, and b =3, Find the length of c ?

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{c\approx3.31}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use cosine:

$cosine=\dfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

$\cos\theta=\dfrac{b}{c}$

We have:

$\theta=25^o\to\cos25^o\approx0.9063\\\\b=3$

Substitute:

$\dfrac{3}{c}=0.9063$

$\dfrac{3}{c}=\dfrac{9063}{10000}$ <em>cross multiply</em>

$9063c=30000$ <em>divide both sides by 9063</em>

$c\approx3.31$

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

the student should score atleast 229 to be among the top 10%.

Step-by-step explanation:

in terms of the normal distribution, and if the table that you're using calculates the area of the normal distribution from the mean to a point x, only then what we are actually finding the value 'x' at which the z-score is at 40% (the rest 50% is already skipped by the table)

$P(0.4) = \dfrac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$
