Write an equation expressing the volume of the box made by paper x by 16 from which a square with side length 2 is cut from each

Furkat [3]

Answer: V = 24*(x - 4) with the condition x > 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volme of a cube/box is equal to:

V = W*L*H

where W = width, L = lenght and H = heigth.

First:

We know that the cubes cut in the corner have a side length of 2.

Then the remaining part is folded up, and this is now the height.

So the height of the box is equal to 2.

Now, we know that the initial measures of the piece of paper are x by 16

But now, in each extreme, we subtracted 2 units, that are now the new heiht, so now the piece of paper is (x -2 -2) by (16 -2 - 2)

or (x - 4) by 12.

Then the volume of the box is:

V = (x -4)*12*2 = 24*(x -4)

Notice something, if x is equal or smaller than 4, then we have a negative volume or a volume equal to zero. Those are problems in our model, so we should use the condition x > 4.

A 900-kg giraffe runs across a field at a rate of 50 km/hr. What is the magnitude of its momentum?

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

As per the statement:

A 900-kg giraffe runs across a field at a rate of 50 km/hr.

⇒ m = 900 kg and

$v=50 km/hr$

Use conversion:

$1 km/hr = \frac{5}{18} m/s$

$v = 50 \times \frac{5}{18} = \frac{250}{18} m/s$

The magnitude of its momentum is given by:

$p = mv$

where

m is the mass in kg

v is the speed in m/s

Substitute the given value we have;

$p = 900 \times \frac{250}{18} = 50 \times 250 = 12500 kg m/s$

Therefore, the magnitude of its momentum is 12500 kg m/s

dybincka [34]

Answer:

A1 = 18

A(n) = A (n-1) -2

Step-by-step explanation:

N represents the number in a sequence and the difference in the sequence is -2 since each time the number is listed in the sequence it is divide by 2.
