<span>they are travelling at right angles to each other.
 At any given instant they form a right triangle with their starting point
 </span>South bound <span>= x  [mi/h]
</span> East bound <span> = x+1 [mi/h]
 after five hours they will be
 d=5x
 and
 d=5(x+1)
 miles away from the starting point 
 (5x)^2+(5(x+1))^2=625
 25x^2+(5x+5)^2=625
 25x^2+25x^2+50x+25=625
 50</span>x^2+50x-600=0
<span> x^2+ x - 12=0
 (x+4)(x-3)=0
 take the postive value
 x= 3 mph the speed of south bound
 4mph east bound </span>

I really need help like a lot I only got 2 days so I need help, and the answer has to be right, please!
koban [17]

Answer:

1. Wave period = 0.962 s

2. Will absorb red and blue and reflect green

Explanation:

1.

The wave period is:

T = \frac{\lambda }{v} \\Where: \\T: Wave period \\ \lambda : Wavelength \\v: velocity

Wavelength is the distance between crests. So replacing the given information:

T = \frac{2.50}{2.60} = 0.962 s\\

2. In simple words the color of an object is the light it reflects. A green object reflects green light, and the rest is absorbed (red and blue).

Bob wanted to investigate the effects of plant fertilizer. He bought three identical plants and gave plant 1 fertilizer every mo
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

TIME he applied the fertilizer to each plant

Explanation:

Independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is subject to change or manipulation by the experimenter. In this experiment, Bob wanted to investigate the effects of plant fertilizer. Bob sets up the experiment by applying the fertilizer to each plant at DIFFERENT TIMES i.e. plant 1-every morning, plant 2-once a week, plant 3-never.

Based on this, it is obvious that the independent or manipulated variable is the TIME at which he applied the fertilizer. On the other hand, the dependent or measured variable is the height of the plants.

D=1/2at^2 <br> solve for a
nignag [31]

Answer:

a = 2d / t²

Explanation:

d = ½ at²

Multiply both sides by 2:

2d = at²

Divide both sides by t²:

a = 2d / t²
