1. The graph shows the distance y, in centimeters, a pendulum moves to the left (negative displacement) and right (positive disp

lacement), for a given number of seconds x. (a) From its resting position, how long does it take the pendulum to swing one direction, then the other, and then return to its resting position? (b) What is the pendulum’s maximum displacement? (c) What percent of a full cycle is completed within 1 s? (d) How is the pendulum moving during the time period from x = 5 to x = 5.625? (e) What is the equation of the graph?

The graph is shown in the picture attached.

A) In order to calculate <span>how long it takes the pendulum to swing one direction, then the other, and then return to its resting position, you need to look at the graph and see where the function returns to zero after going once up and once down. This time is called period (T), which</span> is defined as the time taken to perform one complete oscillation.
In our case, T = 5 s (see the second picture attached for reference).

B) In order to find the pendulum's maximum displacement, you need to look at the graph and see how high and low on the y-axis the function goes. This displacement is called amplitude (A), which is defined as the maximum displacement from the resting position in either direction.
In our case, A = 20 cm (see the second picture attached for reference).<span>

</span>C) Since the period of the pendulum is 5 seconds and it swings constantly, the fraction of a cycle completed in 1 second is calculated by simply dividing
p = 1 / 5 = 0.20
Therefore, in 1 second the pendulum completes 20% of its cycle.

D) During<span> the time period from x = 5 to x = 5.625, we can see from the graph that the pendulum has just started its second oscillation, therefore it starts from the resting position and it moves towards the right (positive values of y)decreasing its velocity.

E)</span> The equation of the graph is a sinusoidal function, therefore it will have an equation like
f(t) = A \cdot sin( \frac{2 \pi}{T} \cdot t - b) + c

where:
A = amplitude
T = period
b and c = shifting constants

In order to find b and c, we recall that the graph starts at (0,0) and therefore it is not shifted either horizontally or vertically, and therefore we can infer that b = c = 0.

Substituting the values, we find:
<span>f(t) = 20 \cdot sin( \frac{2 \pi}{5} \cdot t)</span>

George walks 1 mile to school. He leaves home at the same time each day, walks at a steady speed of 3 miles per hour, and arrive
alex41 [277]

Answer:

George must run the last half mile at a speed of 6 miles per hour in order to arrive at school just as school begins today

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the number of hours George must walk to arrive at school the normal time he arrives given that his speed is different from what it used to be.

Let’s first start at looking at how many hours he take per day on a normal day, all things being equal.

Mathematically;

time = distance/speed

He walks 1 mile at 3 miles per hour.

Thus, the total amount of time he spend each normal day would be;

time = 1/3 hour or 20 minutes

Now, let’s look at his split journey today. What we know is that by adding the times taken for each side of the journey, he would arrive at the school the normal time he arrives given that he left home at the time he used to.

Let the unknown speed be x miles/hour

Mathematically;

We shall be using the formula for time by dividing the distance by the speed

1/3 = 1/2/(2) + 1/2/x

1/3 = 1/4 + 1/2x

1/2x = 1/3 - 1/4

1/2x = (4-3)/12

1/2x = 1/12

2x = 12

x = 12/2

x = 6 miles per hour

If a building was placed at coordinates (-5,5), what would be the new coordinates if rotated 270° counterclockwise around the or
Brums [2.3K]

The rule for a 270° counterclockwise rotation is (x, y) ---> (y, -x).

So if you rotated (-5,5) 270° counterclockwise around the origin the new coordinates would be (-5,-5).

Hope this Helps!!

1) m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1
y = mx + b
m = 7 - 0/3 - 8
y = -7/5x + 11.2
2) y= -7/5x + 12
(the slope or m stays the same because the two equations are parallel)

Slips of paper numbered 1 to 15 are placed in a box. A slip of paper is drawn at random. What is the probability that the number
monitta

Given:

Slips of paper numbered 1 to 15 are placed in a box.

To find:

The probability that the number picked is either a multiple of 5 or an odd number.

Solution:

We have,

Total outcomes = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15

No. of total outcomes = 15

Multiple of 5 are 5, 10, 15.

Odd numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15.

Number that are either a multiple of 5 or an odd number are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15.

No. of favorable outcomes = 9

We know that,

\text{Probability}=\dfrac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}

\text{Probability}=\dfrac{9}{15}

\text{Probability}=\dfrac{3}{5}

\text{Probability}=0.6

Therefore, the  probability that the number picked is either a multiple of 5 or an odd number is 0.6.
