How does light travel??????????

You can use a system of equations to graph and solve the polynomial equation 3 x cubed + x = 2 x squared + 1. Which statement is

GuDViN [60]

The equation has one zero, and the system has three solutions ( 1 real and 2 complex solutions).

<h3>Solution of the polynomial equation</h3>

The solution of the polynomial equation is determined as follows;

3x³ + x = 2x² + 1

3x³ - 2x² + x - 1 = 0

$3(x - \frac{2}{9} )^3+ \frac{5}{9} (x - \frac{2}{9} )- \frac{205}{243} = 0\\\\x = 0.78 \ (one \ real \ solution)\\\\x = -0.058-0.65i\\\\x = -0.058+0.65i \ \ (2 \ complex \ solutions)$

Thus, we can conclude that the equation has one zero (real solution), and the system has three solutions ( 1 real and 2 complex solutions).

If zak's speed is 3.00 m/s when he starts to slide, what distance d will he slide before stopping? express your answer in meters

OverLord2011 [107]

That will depend on the coefficient of friction between the sliding surfaces, and also on Zak's weight. We don't have any of that information.

a railroad tie weights 920 N and is 2.6 m long. How much force is required to: pick it up off the ground? lift one end and rotat

lukranit [14]

1) The minimum force needed is 920 N

2) The minimum force is 460 N

3) The minimum force is 598 N

Explanation:

1)

We can answer this part by simply looking at the forces involved. In fact, there are two forces acting on the railroad:

Its weight, W, acting downward
The force applied to lift it, F, upward

So the net force on the railroad is

$\sum F = F - W$

where

W = 920 N is the weight of the railroad

In order to lift the railroad, the net force must be upward, so

$\sum F \geq 0$

And therefore

$F\geq W$

which means that the minimum force needed is equal to the weight of the railroad, 920 N.

2)

In this case, we have to use the principle of equilibrium of moments.

In fact, when the railroad rotates uniformly (=constant angular speed) about its end, it means that the moment produced by the weight (acting in one direction) is equal to the moment produced by the force applied (acting in the other direction). Therefore, we can write:

$W \frac{L}{2} = F L$

where

W = 920 N is the weight

L = 2.6 m is the length of the railroad

F is the force applied

We wrote L/2 on the left of the equation because the weight acts at the center of mass of the railroad (located at the midpoint), while on the right it is L because the force F is applied at the end of the railroad.

Solving for F,

$F=\frac{W}{2}=\frac{920}{2}=460 N$

3)

This problem is similar to the previous part, however in this case, the force applied F is applied 0.6 m from the end, pivoting around the opposite end.

This means that the distance between the point of application of the force F and the pivot is

L' = L - 0.6

where

L = 2.6 m

Therefore the equation for the equilibrium of moments becomes

$W\frac{L}{2}=F(L-0.6)$
