A student has a 2% salt water solution and a 7% salt water solution. To best imitate salt water at a local beach, he needs 1 lit

er of a 3.5% salt water solution. He defines x as the amount of 2% solution and writes this equation: 0.2x + 0.7(x – 1) = 0.35(1) He solves the equation and determines that x is about 1.17 liters. He interprets this as needing 1.17 liters of 2% solution to make 1 liter of 3.5% solution. What errors did the student make? Check all that apply.

The answer is A & B

A) The percent values were written incorrectly in the equation.

B) The amount of 7% solution should be written as 1 – x, not x – 1.

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 55.0 cm. She finds the pendulum m
forsale [732]

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity will be g=5.718m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given length of pendulum l = 55 cm = 0.55 m

It is given that pendulum completed 100 swings in 145 sec

So time taken by pendulum for 1 swing =\frac{145}{100}=1.45sec

We have to find the acceleration due to gravity at that point

We know that time period of pendulum;um is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

So 1.45=2\times 3.14\times \sqrt{\frac{0.55}{g}}

\sqrt{\frac{0.55}{g}}=0.230

Squaring both side

{\frac{0.3025}{g}}=0.0529

g=5.718m/sec^2

So acceleration due to gravity will be g=5.718m/sec^2

A car accelerates uniformly in a straight line
Alinara [238K]

Recall that

{v_f}^2={v_i}^2=2a\Delta x

The car starts from rest, so v_i=0, and we get

{v_f}^2=2\left(2.8\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(69\,\mathrm m)\implies v_f\approx19.66\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

1. A baseball is hit straight up at a speed of 45 meters per second.
Sidana [21]

Answer:

a) 103.32 m

b) 9.18 s

Explanation:

a) Let's use the knowledge that at the top of its trajectory, the baseball will have a final velocity of 0 m/s.

The acceleration due to gravity is -9.8 m/s², assuming the upwards direction is positive and the downwards direction is negative.

The initial velocity of the baseball is 45 m/s.

We are trying to find the vertical displacement of the baseball, Δx, and we have the variables v, a, and v₀.

Find the constant acceleration equation that contains all four of these variables:

  • v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

Substitute the known values into the equation.

  • (0)² = (45)² + 2(-9.8)Δx
  • 0 = 2025 - 19.6Δx
  • -2025 = -19.6Δx
  • Δx = 103.32

The maximum height of the ball before it falls back down is 103.32 m.

b) Now we want to solve for time t. Find a constant acceleration equation that contains three known variables.

  • v = v₀ + at

Substitute known values into this equation.

  • 0 = 45 + (-9.8)t
  • -45 = -9.8t
  • t = 4.59183673

Remember that this is only half of the baseball's flight since we are using the final velocity for when the ball is halfway through its trajectory.

To solve for the total time the baseball is in the air, double the time t we solved for.

  • 2t = 9.18367346

The baseball is in the air for 9.18 s.
