The potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
 Therefore, for conservation of energy we have:
 mgh = (1/2) m * v ^ 2
 From here we clear the speed:
 v = root (2 * g * h)
 The height will then be:
 h = v ^ 2 / (2 * g)
 Substituting the values:
 h = (34) ^ 2 / (2 * (32))
 h = 18.0625 feet
 Answer: The pear before it fell was 18.0625 feet up in the tree.

Answer:

18.0625 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The pear had a speed of 34 feet per second.

To Find: Approximately how far up in the tree was the pear before it fell?

Solution:

We are given that assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 32 feet per second squared

Formula = s=\sqrt{2gh}

Where s is the speed , g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height

So, 34=\sqrt{2(32)h}

34^2=64h

1156=64h

\frac{1156}{64}=h

18.0625=h

Hence the pear was at height of 18.0625 feet before it fell.

Find all solutions of the equation below.<br> 7^5-3=7^5x-19
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

7⁵-3=7⁵x- 19

Step-by-step explanation:

16807 - 3 = 7⁵x - 19

16804 = 7⁵x - 19

16804 = 16807x - 1

adding 19 on both sides

16804 + 19 = 16807x - 19 + 19

16823 = 16807x

x = 16823 / 16807

16823 upon 16807 is the x

Write the slip-intercept form of the equation of the line described
kompoz [17]

Answer:

1) y=⅚x -2⅓

2) y=8/3x -5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Point-slope form:</u>

y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

Parallel lines have the same gradient.

Gradient of given line= \frac{5}{6}

Thus, m=⅚

Susbt. m=⅚ into the equation,

y= ⅚x +c

Since the line passes through the point (4, 1), (4, 1) must satisfy the equation. Thus, substitute (4, 1) into the equation to find c.

When x=4, y=1,

1= ⅚(4) +c

1 =  \frac{20}{6}  + c \\ c = 1 -  \frac{20}{6}  \\ c = 1 - 3 \frac{1}{3}  \\ c =  - 2 \frac{1}{3}

Thus the equation of the line is y =  \frac{5}{6} x - 2 \frac{1}{3}.

The gradients of perpendicular lines= -1.

Gradient of given line= -⅜

-⅜(gradient of line)= -1

gradient of line

= -1 ÷ (-⅜)

= -1 ×(-8/3)

= \frac{8}{3}

y =  \frac{8}{3} x + c

When x=3, y=3,

3 =  \frac{8}{3} (3) + c \\ 3 = 8 + c \\ c = 3 - 8 \\ c =  - 5

Thus the equation of the line is y =  \frac{8}{3} x - 5.

When x = 2, y = 50 and when x = 4, y = 100. Which direct variation equation can be used to model this function?
Karolina [17]
Well, let's first write these as points.

( 2 , 50 )

( 4 , 100 )

We can see that when "x" is reduced by 2, "y" is reduced by 50. This means that if we reduce "x" by 1, "y" will be reduced by 25. Thus, we can say that if "x" is 1, "y" will be 25.

( 1 , 25 )

What we know that 25 * 1 = 25, and that 2 * 25 = 50. We can see that multiplying "x" by 25 will give us our "y". We can now write this as an equation.

y = 25x
