The simplest way to do this is to set up equivalent fractions, like this-

=

Solve for x by using cross multiplication.
40*2.2= 88
1*x=88
x=88
Therefore, the boy weighs 88lbs.
Answer:
The third drop is 0.26m
Explanation:
The drop 1 impacts at time T is given by:
T=sqrt(2h/g)
T= sqrt[(2×2.4)/9.8]
T= sqrt(4.8/9.8)
T= sqrt(0.4898)
T= 0.70seconds
4th drops starts at dT=0.70/3= 0.23seconds
The interval between the drops is 0.23seconds
Third drop will fall at t= 0.23
h=1/2gt^2
h= 1/2×9.81×(0.23)^2
h= 0.26m
Answer:
The ladder is 3.014 m tall.
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we must use the following formula:
v = x/t
where v represents the woman’s velocity, x represents the distance she climbed (the height of the ladder), and t represents the time it took her to move this distance
If we plug in the values we are given for the problem, we get:
v = x/t
2.20 = x/1.37
To solve this equation for x (the height of the ladder), we must multiply both sides by 1.37. If we do this, we get:
x = (2.20 * 1.37)
x = 3.014 m
Therefore, the ladder is 3.014 m tall.
Hope this helps!
I'm stuck on the same question, as well :(
