If something is negative then it is decreasing. We can express this in terms of velocity per second.

"A car is traveling backwards. What is its velocity if it travels 85 miles in 15 seconds"

This is the easiest word problem I can think of. (When a car travels backwards it has a negative velocity but a positive speed).

The balance in my bank account went down $85 in 15 days. How much did it change per day. Use a positive number to represent a gain of money and a negative number to represent a loss of money.

The change in balance is a loss of money, so the change is -85.

The change of -85 occurred in 15 days, so the average change per day is

-85/15

A plane flying over the ocean is on course to land on an aircraft carrier. The diagonal distance between the plane and the aircr
fomenos

Answer:

the plane's current height above the ocean is 3.42 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the diagonal distance between the plane and the aircraft carrier is 10 miles.

What we need to find is the vertical distance between the plane and the aircraft carrier which is the plane's current height above the ocean. This can be gotten using sine rule.  

For sine rule, you need a side and its opposite angle. For this question the triangle formed is a right angle triangle with diagonal distance, vertical distance and horizontal distance.

let a = diagonal distance = 10 miles

let the opposite angle to the diagonal distance be A = 90° (right angle)

let the vertical distance = b

let the opposite angle to the vertical distance be B = 20°

Sine rule states that    \frac{a}{sin(A)}  =  \frac{b}{sin(B)}

∴   \frac{10}{sin(90)}  =  \frac{b}{sin(20)}

b  =  sin(20)\frac{10}{sin(90)}

b  =  0.342*\frac{10}{1}

⇒ b = 3.42 miles

Therefore the plane's current height above the ocean is 3.42 miles

PLEASE ANSWER QUICKLY!!The diameter, D, of a sphere is 10.4 mm. Calculate the sphere's volume, V.
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

About 588.7 mm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a sphere is (4/3)*pi (or in this case 3.14)*r^3, where r is the radius.

We need the radius. We are given the diameter, 10.4.

The radius is half the diameter, so 10.4/2=5.2.

Use r=5.2 and put it into the formula:

(4/3)*3.14*5.2^3≈588.7

To solve this problem, we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that a^2 + b^2 must equal c^2. "a" is the length of one of the legs (shorter sides of the triangle) and "b" is the length of the other leg. "c" is the length of the hypotenuse.

a = y = 36.25cm

b = x = 20.93cm

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(36.25)^2 + (20.93)^2 = c^2

1314.0625 + 438.0649 = c^2

√1752.1274 = √c^2

c = 41.8584209 ≈ 41.86

So your final answer is...

The length of the hypotenuse is about 41.86 cm.
