A 5 inch tall balloon shoot doubles in height every 3 days. if the equation y=ab^x, where is x is the number of doubling periods

,represents the height of the bamboo shoot,what are the values of a and b?

In this item if we let x be the number of doubling period, that is number of days divided by 3, and y be the height of the bamboo shoot, in the equation
y = ab^x
The value of a is 5 because that is the original height of the shoot and b is 2 because we are talking about the doubling rate. The equation is therefore,
y = 5(2^x)

A solid cylinder of mass 7 kg and radius 0.9 m starts from rest at the top of a 20º incline. It is released and rolls without sl

ohaa [14]

Answer:

157.8 J

Explanation:

m = mass of the cylinder = 7 kg

h = height difference in top and bottom of the incline = 2.3 m

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

TE = Total Energy at the bottom

PE = Gravitational potential energy at the top

Using conservation of energy

Total Energy at the bottom = Gravitational potential energy at the top

TE = PE

TE = m g h

TE = (7) (9.8) (2.3)

TE = 157.8 J

Two kids are playing on a newly installed slide, which is 3 m long. John, whose mass is 30 kg, slides down into William (20 kg),

yuradex [85]

Answer:

$v=3.564\ m.s^{-1}$

$\Delta v =2.16\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of John, $m_J=30\ kg$

mass of William, $m_W=30\ kg$

length of slide, $l=3\ m$

(A)

height between John and William, $h=1.8\ m$

<u>Using the equation of motion:</u>

$v_J^2=u_J^2+2 (g.sin\theta).l$

where:

v_J = final velocity of John at the end of the slide

u_J = initial velocity of John at the top of the slide = 0

Now putting respective :

$v_J^2=0^2+2\times (9.8\times \frac{1.8}{3})\times 3$

$v_J=5.94\ m.s^{-1}$

<u>Now using the law of conservation of momentum at the bottom of the slide:</u>

<em>Sum of initial momentum of kids before & after collision must be equal.</em>

$m_J.v_J+m_w.v_w=(m_J+m_w).v$

where: v = velocity with which they move together after collision

$30\times 5.94+0=(30+20)v$

$v=3.564\ m.s^{-1}$ is the velocity with which they leave the slide.

(B)

frictional force due to mud, $f=105\ N$

<u>Now we find the force along the slide due to the body weight:</u>

$F=m_J.g.sin\theta$

$F=30\times 9.8\times \frac{1.8}{3}$

$F=176.4\ N$

<em><u>Hence the net force along the slide:</u></em>

$F_R=71.4\ N$

<em>Now the acceleration of John:</em>

$a_j=\frac{F_R}{m_J}$

$a_j=\frac{71.4}{30}$

$a_j=2.38\ m.s^{-2}$

<u>Now the new velocity:</u>

$v_J_n^2=u_J^2+2.(a_j).l$

$v_J_n^2=0^2+2\times 2.38\times 3$

$v_J_n=3.78\ m.s^{-1}$

Hence the new velocity is slower by

$\Delta v =(v_J-v_J_n)$

$\Delta v =5.94-3.78= 2.16\ m.s^{-1}$

Bob will not develop a good habit if he _____. works out for only one week develops a consistent schedule of exercise works out

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

works out for only one week

Explanation:

In order to develop a good habit, there are certain things that you can do like:

-Develop a consistent schedule of exercise which allows you to work everyday over a period of time which helps you to create a routine that you would get used to it creating a habit.

-Work out with a friend which allows you to have someone to motivate you and that would go everyday with you which would help to be consistent.

-Use success strategies that are ways in which you can achieve your goal of creating a good habit to exercise.

According to this, the option that would not help Bob develop a good habit is if he works out for only one week as doing something everyday is what would help you to create the habit.
