One example of absolute value in the real world is subtraction.
For example, you have 17_____ and your friend has 62_____.
if you want to see how many more _____ your friend has, you want to make sure that the answer will be positive. The way that you do this is you subtract |17 - 62| = 45
(I know.... You could just do 62 - 17, but absolute value can be used so you can subtract |a - b| and |b - a|, and they will turn out the same.)

A.The observation deck of tall skyscraper 370 m above the street. Determine the time required for a penny to free fall from the
Ainat [17]

Answer:

8.68 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of the deck above the street, s = 370 m

Since the condition is of free falling

thus,

initial speed, u = 0

Acceleration of the penny = acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

Now,

from Newton's equation of motion, we have

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

here,

s is the distance

a is the acceleration

t is the time

on substituting the values, we get

370=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times9.81\times t^2

or

t² = 75.433

or

t = 8.68 seconds

Ashley mixes two types of soft drinks with different types of concentration: one soft drink has 20% sugar and the other drink ha
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Sugar concentration of the mixed soft drink will be <em>32.5%.</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Sugar concentration of first drink = 20%

Volume of first soda = 250 ml

Sugar in first soda = 20% of 250 ...... (1)

Sugar concentration of second drink = 45%

Volume of second soda = 250 ml

Sugar in second soda = 45% of 250 ...... (2)

Let x\% be the sugar concentration in resultant mixture.

Volume of mixture = 250 + 250 = 500 ml

Sugar in mixture = x\% of 500 ml ...... (3)

Total sugar concentration (Adding (1) and (2)) and equating it to equation (3):

20% of 250 + 45% of 250 = x\% of 500

\Rightarrow \dfrac{20}{100} \times 250 + \dfrac{45}{100} \times 250 =  \dfrac{x}{100} \times 500\\\Rightarrow 2 \times x = 65\\\Rightarrow x = 32.5\%

Hence, Sugar concentration of the mixed soft drink will be <em>32.5%.</em>
