What is the value in meters per second squared of the acceleration of gravity?

Lady bird [3.3K]

In real-life physics, acceleration due to gravity will change respect to altitude. Check out the attached image (source: Wikipedia).

However, in high-school physics, acceleration due to gravity is represented by the letter g, which has a value of 9.81 meters per second squared.

This means that an object being dropped straight down will be moving 9.81 meters per second faster than it was 1 second ago. I hope this helps! :)

Answer:

more than half are being used

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps easiest to understand is the most straightforward: figure the total number of seats and the number of seats being used. Check to see if that is more than half.

The 1 first-class carriage has usage of ...

(3/8)(64 seats) = 24 seats.

The 6 standard carriages have usage of ...

(7/13)(6 · 78 seats) = 252 seats.

The total number of seats used is ...

24 + 252 = 276 . . . . seats used

__

The total number of seats on the train is ...

1·64 +6·78 = 532 . . . . seats on the train

Half of the seats on the train will be ...

532/2 = 266 seats . . . . half the seats

The 276 used seats are more than half of the total number. More than half the seats are being used.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Another way to look at this is to compare utilization to 1/2 in each carriage class.

In first class 1/2 -3/8 = 1/8 of 64 seats = 8 seats fewer than 1/2 the seats are being used.

In standard class, 7/13 -1/2 = 14/26 -13/26 = 1/26 of 78 seats = 3 seats more than 1/2 the seats are being used. There are 6 standard class carriages, so 6·3 = 18 more than half the seats in the standard-class carriages are being used.

This number is 10 more than the 8 under-utilized seats in first class, so <em>more than half the train seats are being used</em>.

Solve the equation 6x + 3y = 15 for y. What does y equal if x = 2? If x = 5?

horsena [70]

6(2)+3y=15
12+3y=15
-12 -12
3y=3
3y/3 3/3
y=1

6(5)+3y=15
30+3y=15
-30 -30
3y=-15
3y/3 -15/3
y= -5
