<span>gravitational potential energy : P
Gravity : g
Mass : m
height : h

P = mgh = 3 x 9.8 x 0.45 = 13.23 Joule

Potential energy is work , from the known formula

W = Fd ( work = force x distance )

W = P ( in case of potential energy height change)

F is the force acting on the body in case of ideal ramp , the only force acting is the weight of the body

F = mg ( not just <m> as the force is mg (Newton) gravity effect)

d is the displacement in direction of force, as we have considered the force to be the weight not it's component in direction of the ramp , the change in displacement is the change in height so

d = h

W = Fd = (F = mg) x (d = h) = mgh

W = mgh = P

Juan and Franco collect baseball cards. Juan has baseball cards. Franco has 18 fewer baseball cards than Juan. Together they hav

horsena [70]

Answer:

Franco has 66 baseball cards.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of baseball cards that Franco has.

y is the number of baseball cards that Juan has.

Franco has 18 fewer baseball cards than Juan.

This means that:

$x = y - 18$

Also:

$y = x + 18$

Together they have 150 baseball cards.

This means that:

$x + y = 150$

Since $y = x + 18$

$x + x + 18 = 150$

$2x = 132$

$x = \frac{132}{2}$

$x = 66$

Franco has 66 baseball cards.

On a coordinate grid, AB has an end point B at (24, 16). The midpoint of AB is P(4, -3). What is the y-coordinate of Point A?

inysia [295]

The y-coordinate of point A is -22

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

B = (24,16)

P = (4,-3)

The formula for mid-point of AB will be given by:

$P = (\frac{x_A+x_B}{2} , \frac{y_A+y_B}{2})$

As we already know the y-coordinate of midpoint

We can put the formula's y coordinate equal to the given value

$\frac{y_A+y_B}{2} = -3\\\frac{y_A + 16}{2 } = -3\\y_A+16 = -3 * 2\\y_A +16 = -6\\y_A = -6-16\\y_A = -22$

Hence,

The y-coordinate of point A is -22

Answer:

For covering $1$ unit area of the entire playground, the amount of sand required is equal to volume of $3$ buckets of sand.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

$\frac{1}{3}$ volume of sand in bucket is able to cover $\frac{1}{9}$ area of the entire playground

Thus,

For covering $\frac{1}{9}$ unit area of the entire playground, the amount of sand required is equal to $\frac{1}{3}$ of the total volume of sand in bucket

For covering $1$ unit area of the entire playground, the amount of sand required is equal to

$\frac{\frac{1}{3} }{\frac{1}{9} } \\\\\frac{1}{3} * \frac{9}{1} \\\frac{9}{3}\\= 3$

For covering $1$ unit area of the entire playground, the amount of sand required is equal to volume of $3$ buckets of sand.
