Two numbers that we can chose here are half of 185 each.

As they will give us maximum product.

So the two numbers would be 185/2 and 185/2

$Product = \frac{185}{2} * \frac{185}{2}$

On multiplying we will get,

34225/4

Answer : The two numbers are 185/2 and 185/2.

A juggler tosses a bowling pin in the air with an initial velocity of 18 ft per second. It leaves his hand when it is five feet

Natali5045456 [20]

Complete Question

A juggler tosses a bowling pin in the air with an initial velocity of 18 ft per second. It leaves his hand when it is five feet from the ground and he catches it when it is four feet from the ground,How long is the ball in the air?

Answer:

$t\approx 0.1s$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Initial velocity $V_0= 18 ft/s$

Initial Height $h_1=5feet$

Final Height $h_2=4feet$

Generally the Newtons equation for motion is mathematically given by

$V^2 = U^2 + 2as$

Where

$s=h_2-h_1\\s=4-5\\s=-1ft$

And

$a=g=>9.81\\a=32.2ft/s^2$

Therefore

$V^2 = (18)^2 + 2(-32.2)(-1)$

$V^2 = 388.4$

$V =19.70786645\\V=19.71ft/s$

Generally the equation for Time is mathematically Given as

$t=\frac{V-U}{a}$

$t=\frac{19.71-18}{32.2}$

$t=0.05310559006$

$t\approx 0.1s$

Therefore the time spent on air by the ball is

$t=0.05310559006s$

Using Unit Rates to convert

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of minutes it takes Jason to run a mile, we have to first find the rate at which he runs.

This is called Jason's speed. It is given as

$Speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

$Speed = \frac{440}{75}\\ \\\\Speed = 5.86 yards/second$

From the formula of speed, time is given as:

$time = \frac{distance}{speed}$

Time taken for Jason to run 1 mile (1760 yards) will therefore be:

$time = \frac{1760}{5.86} \\\\\\time = 300.34 secs$

Converting this time to minutes yields:

60 seconds = 1 minute

300.34 equals:

$\frac{300.34}{60} = 5.0 minutes$

It takes Jason 5 minutes to run 1 mile.
