We need a system of equations to solve this.  "Difference" is to subtract, and we are taking this difference of the 2 squared unknowns to be 20.  That equation is x^{2} -y^2=20.  Our "first number is x^2, so 3 times that is 3x^2.  "Increased by" is adding to that first number.  What we are adding is the second number.  The second equation is 3x^2+y^2=124.  Let's solve the first equation for x^2: x^2=y^2+20 and sub that value for x^2 into the second equation.  3(y^2+20)+y^2=124 and 3y^2+60+y^2=124.  Subtract 60 from both sides and combine the y^2 terms to get 4y^2=64.  Divide both sides by 4 to get y^2 = 16 and y = 4.  Let's go back now and solve for x.  We will use the fact that y^2 = 16 to solve for x^2 and then take the square root of it.  x^2-16=20, x^2 = 4, so x = 2.  Your solutions are x = 2 and y = 4.  There you go!

The minute hand on a watch is 2.00 cm in length. what is the displacement vector of the tip of the minute hand
olchik [2.2K]
The displacement vector is a vector which gives the point's current position with reference to other points apart from points from the origin. The given length here of the minute hand is the radius and the distance can be written as,
                                       r∠θ
which means that the position can be described by the θ.

Determine the kinetic energy of 8000 Newton’s roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 20.0 meters/seconds
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the roller coaster is 1600000 J.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mass of the roller coaster is 8000 Newton's and speed 20.0 meters/seconds.

Now, we need to find the kinetic energy E_{k} of the roller coaster.

So, Mass of roller coaster (m) = 8000 N.

Velocity of roller coaster (v) = 20.0 m/s.

Now, putting the formula of kinetic energy:

E_{k} = \frac{1}{2}\times m\times v^{2}

E_{k}=\frac{1}{2} \times 8000\times 20^{2}

E_{k}=\frac{1}{2} \times 8000\times 400

E_{k}=\frac{1}{2} \times 3200000

E_{k}=1600000

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the roller coaster is 1600000 J.
