Why are the cables in tension? *

Mathematics
1 answer:
alex41 [277]3 years ago

Because they offer some advantages over other barrier systems, high-tension cable barriers are becoming more popular in several states, including Iowa. But first responders need to take special precautions when removing a vehicle that has become entangled in a high-tension cable system. Anatomy of a high-tension cable system NCHRP-350 certified systems are manufactured by various companies. In general, they consist of three or four cables (21-wire, ¾-in. rope), held at various heights on posts. The posts are designed to bend or break on impact. End anchors hold the cables in constant tension—generally from 3,000 to 8,000 pounds. The tension can be adjusted and the cables can be released

Simplifying Complex fractions using any method
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

3ab

-------------------

(b+a)

Step-by-step explanation:

3/a - 3/b

-------------------

1/a^2 - 1/b^2

Multiply the top and bottom by a^2 b^2/ a^2/b^2 to clear the fractions

(3/a - 3/b) a^2 b^2

-------------------

(1/a^2 - 1/b^2) a^2b^2

3ab^2 - 3 a^2 b

-------------------

b^2 -  a^2

Factor out 3ab on the top

3ab( b-a)

-------------------

b^2 -  a^2

The bottom is the difference of squares

3ab( b-a)

-------------------

(b-a) (b+a)

Cancel like terms from the top and bottom

3ab

-------------------

(b+a)

2. Determine if either of the following equations are functions? Draw the graphs and explain how
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Both equation represent functions

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is the relation that for each input, there is only one output.

A. Consider the equation

y=-\dfrac{3}{5}x+2

This equation represents the function, because for each input value x, there is exactly one output value y.

To check whether the equation represents a function, you can use vertical line test. If all vertical lines intersect the graph of the function in one point, then the equation represents the function.

When you intersect the graph of the function y=-\dfrac{3}{5}x+2 with vertical lines, there will be only one point of intersection (see blue graph in attached diagram). So this equation represents the function.

B. Consider the equation

y=x-x^2

This equation represents the function, because for each input value x, there is exactly one output value y.

When you intersect the graph of the function y=x-x^2 with vertical lines, there will be only one point of intersection (see green graph in attached diagram). So this equation represents the function.

If the sphere shown above has a radius of 10 units then what is the approximate volume of the sphere
Sophie [7]

Answer: 4,188.79 u^3

Step-by-step explanation: Volume of a sphere is (4/3)pi•r^3

10^3 = 1000

(4/3) • pi • 1000 = 4,188.79 (rounded to 2 decimals)

Describe how the placement of the decimal point changes when you multiply a number by the power of ten. How is this the same and
Solnce55 [7]

Answer: the answer to your question is

Recall that when you multiply a decimal by a power of ten (10, 100, 1,000, etc), the placement of the decimal point in the product will move to the right according to the number of zeros in the power of ten. For instance, 4.12 · 10 = 41.2.

hope this helps for what you needed have a nice day! :)

The ABC Company has a net income of $56,000, assets at the beginning of the year are $263,000 and assets at the end of the year
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

19.4 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for<em> return on assets</em> (ROA) is

ROA = Net income /Total assets × 100 %

Since assets vary, we use the <em>average</em> of the total assets over the period.

<em>Calculate the average total assets</em>

At beginning of year, total assets = $263 000

At end of year, total assets            = $313 000

Average = (313 000 + 263 000)/2

Average = 576 000/2

Average = $288 000

===============

<em>Calculate the ROA</em>

Net income = $56 000

ROA = 56 000/288 000 × 100 %

ROA = 0.194 × 100 %

ROA = 19.4 %

The company’s return on assets is 19.4 %.
