Answer:

20 in  

Step-by-step explanation:

Tree 1:

Rate of growth = (½ ft/2 yr)

  12 yr growth = 12 × (½/2)

                       = 6/2

                       = 3 ft

                       = 36 in

Tree 2:

Rate of growth = (4 in/3yr)

  12 yr growth = 12 × (4/3)

                       = 48/3

                       = 16 in

Difference:

Tree 1 - Tree 2 = 36 - 16

                            = 20 in

The trees will differ in height by 20 in.

A pot is being used to boil off 1 kg of water. The specific energy required to cause the phase change is 2297 kJ/kg. Assuming th
Daniel [21]

Answer:

58 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial mass of water = 1 kg

Specific energy = 2297 kJ/kg

Heat supplied by the stove = 20 kJ/s

Now,

Half water is to be vaporized i.e 0.5 kg

Thus, heat required for vaporizing 0.5 kg water = mass × specific heat

or

heat required for vaporizing 0.5 kg water = 0.5 × 2297 = 1148.5 kJ

Therefore,

time taken to provide the required heat = \frac{\textup{Heat required}}{\textup{Heat supplied per second}}

or

time taken to provide the required heat = \frac{\textup{1148.5 kJ}}{\textup{20 kJ/s}}

or

time taken to provide the required heat = 57.425 ≈ 58 seconds

Suppose the sound wave has the form y=7cos(3x-pi/6) for x in the interval [pi/6 , 7pi/18]. Express x as a function of y, and sta
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

x = ⅓ acos(y/7) + π/18, [-7, 7/2]

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 7 cos(3x − π/6)

Solving for x:

y/7 = cos(3x − π/6)

acos(y/7) = 3x − π/6

acos(y/7) + π/6 = 3x

x = ⅓ acos(y/7) + π/18

The domain of x is the same as the range of y.

When x = π/6:

y = 7 cos(3π/6 − π/6)

y = 7 cos(π/3)

y = 7/2

When x = 7π/18:

y = 7 cos(21π/18 − π/6)

y = 7 cos(π)

y = -7

So the domain of x as a function of y is [-7, 7/2].
