Answer:10 days

Step-by-step explanation:

75 men could complete a piece of work in 20 days

When work was scheduled to commence, it was found necessary to send 25men to another project. This means that lesser number of men will do same work and it will take them more days. This is an inverse proportion

For inverse proportion, let us introduce constant k

Number of men, n is inversely proportional to number of days, d

n is inversely proportional to d

We introduce k which is our proportionally constant

n =k/d

When n = 75 and d = 20,

k = 20×75 = 1500

So we have

n =1500/d

Since 25 men left, 50 men would be remaining to do the work

50 = 1500/d

d = 1500/50

= 30 days

It will take 50/men 10 days more

A soccer player uses her head to hit a ball up in the air from a height of 2 meters with an initial vertical velocity of 5 meter
ozzi

Answer:

The ball will hit the ground in 1.33 s if no one touches it. The equation has 2 real solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ball will hit the ground when its height is equal to 0 meters, therefore using this value in the expression and solving for "t" will give us the correct solutions.

h = -4.9*t^2 + 5*t + 2\\\\-4.9*t^2 + 5*t + 2 = 0\\\\t_{1,2} = \frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{5^2 - 4*(-4.9)*(2)}}{2*(-4.9)}\\\\t_{1,2} = \frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{64.2}}{-9.8}\\\\t_{1,2} =\frac{-5 \pm 8.0125}{-9.8}\\\\t_1 = \frac{-5 - 8.0125}{-9.8} = 1.33 \text{ s}\\\\t_2 = \frac{-5 + 8.0125}{-9.8} = -0.3 \text{ s}

The ball will hit the ground in 1.33 s if no one touches it. The equation has 2 real solutions.

Solve the right triangle. Will give points!
Anna [14]

Answer:

  • EF = 4.1
  • DE = 9.1
  • m∠F = 66°

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse and one acute angle are given. The relevant relations are ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

__

For the given triangle, these tell us ...

  sin(24°) = EF/DF = EF/10

  EF = 10·sin(24°) ≈ 4.1

and ...

  cos(24°) = DE/DF = DE/10

  DE = 10·cos(24°) ≈ 9.1

The remaining acute angle is the complement of the given one:

  F = 90° -D = 90° -24°

  ∠F = 66°
