Answer: 1. 210 meters per second .

2.  756  kilometers per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The formula S(d)=\sqrt{9.8d} to calculate the estimated speed, in meters per second of a tsunami.

1. If the disturbance occurred at an ocean depth of 4,500 meters.

Then put d= 4500 in the above formula , we get

S(d)=\sqrt{9.8\times4500}

S(d)=\sqrt{44100}=\sqrt{21\times21\times10\times10}\\\\=\sqrt{210^2}=210

Hence, if the disturbance occurred at an ocean depth of 4,500 meters , the estimated speed would be 210 meters per second .

Also, A meter per second is equal to 3.6 kilometers per hour.

i.e. 1 meter per second = 3.6 kilometers per hour

Then by unitary method ,

210 meters per second  =3.6\times210 kilometers per hour

=756  kilometers per hour.

(DO NOT ANSWER IN A LINK) (PLS ONLY ANSWER CORRECT) A function is defined by f (x) = 6 x + 1.5. What is f(2.5)?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

f(5) = 16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x = 2.5 into f(x) , that is

f(2.5) = 6(2.5) + 1.5 = 15 + 1.5 = 16.5

If AC = 40, find the length of JK.
lesantik [10]

Answer:

JK = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ BKJ and Δ BCA are similar triangles and ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{JK}{AC} = \frac{BK}{BC} , substitute values

\frac{JK}{40} = \frac{3}{5} ( cross- multiply )

5JK = 120 ( divide both sides by 5 )

JK = 24

An automotive manufacturer wants to know the proportion of new car buyers who prefer foreign cars over domestic. Step 2 of 2 : S
Darya [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

From given data,

n = 1496

x = 478

Proportion estimate ( p ) = \frac{x}{n}

                                        = \frac{478 }{1496} = 0.3195 ≅ 0.31

Proportion estimate ( p ) = 0.31

∴ The proportion of new car buyers who prefer foreign cars -> 0.31
