Answer: F(t) = 11 - 0.9(t)

Explanation:

We know the following:

The candle burns at a ratio given by:

Burning Ratio (Br)  = 0.9 inches / hour

The candle is 11 inches long.

To be able to create a function that give us how much on the candle remains after turning it after a time (t). We will need to know how much of the candle have been burned after t.

Let look the following equation:

Br = Candle Inches (D) / Time for the Candle to burn (T)      (1)

Where (1) is similar to the Velocity equation:

Velocity (V) = Distance (D)/Time(T)

This because is only a relation between a magnitude and time.

Let search for D on (1)

D = Br*T  (2)

Where D is how much candle has been burn in a specif time

To create a function that will tell us how longer remains of the candle after be given a variable time (t) we use the total lenght minus (2):

How much candle remains? ( F(t) ) = 11 inches - Br*t

F(t) = 11 - 0.9(t)

F(t) defines the remaining length of the candle t hours after being lit

If the trend changed toward traditional (pre-World War II) families, how would that affect women’s rights?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

If the trend changed toward traditional (pre-World War II) families, the women’s rights are employment in manufacturing sector.

<h3>What is World war?</h3>

The war between two countries to take over each other's kingdom using weapons to kill each other.

Before the world war, the army needs armor, weapons, guns and tanks. Their manufacturing is only possible with many workers to work for long hours. If the men are not enough, then women are given opportunities to work with them.

Thus, the women’s rights are employment in manufacturing sector when trend changed traditional families.

For all turning vehicles, the rear wheels follow a ______ than the front wheels.
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Shorter path

Explanation:

For all turning vehicles, the rear wheels follow <u>Shorter path</u> than the front wheels.

Any turning vehicle, the rear(the back part of something, especially a vehicle.) wheels follow a shorter path than the front wheels. The longer the vehicle is, the greater the difference will be in path. Trucks initially swing out before making a turn

Is Radioactive decay a way to find the relative age of a rock?<br><br> True<br> False
galina1969 [7]
To establish the age of a rock or a fossil, researchers use some type of clock to determine the date it was formed. Geologists commonly use radiometric dating methods, based on the natural radioactive decay of certain elements such as potassium and carbon, as reliable clocks to date ancient events.

7. A golfer hits a golf ball a through a horizontal displacement of 80m. The time of flight for the ball was 1.8
Darya [45]

Answer:

44.4 m/s

Explanation:

d = 80 m, t = 1.8 s, find v

d = v*t

v = d/t = 80/1.8 = 44.4 m/s

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

 Mg- 27   means isotope with 12 protons and 15 neutrons.

Also 27 is mass number which express sum of protons and neutrons.

In nucleus one neutrn decays to electron and proton. Mass number remain same but Al-27 nucleus contain 13 protons and 14 neutrons. Electron is ejected out from nucleus.
